I'm a nervous wreck here girls...so worried about hurting feelings...not sure I'll do this again, as much fun as it was...I want to pick you ALL. I'm blown away with all of your beautiful creations, but here are a few that caused me to drool and drool, and then drool some more. So, if you see your card and name here, please get me your addy and I've got a treat to send your way--I can only give away one of the bigger prize packages, and for that...here is the winner:
Linda's card just melted my heart, and I can't help but LOVE those houses and the quote that is so suitable for this sweet card. Congrats Linda---what a treat to have you play along!
And...a few of my other faves:
My Friend, by Kim!
For my Friend by Natalie!
I *heart* u by Cari!
Hugs by Nancy!
Friends by Amber!
Phhheeeew! I hope you don't mind me snatching your pics and posting them in one place---I wanted everyone to be able to check them out with out searching. Aren't these all so beautiful? Thanks so much for sharing your talent with me and a bunch of others! You all inspire me and make me want to sit right down and create.
Now do me a favor and add each other to your blog lists---this is such a great way to make some new friends, and I encourage you ALL to submit these beautiful cards if you haven't sent them off to a friend yet.
Now...we might do this again, after I recover. I'll let you know. And, I'll be back with the Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe later.
Have a wonderful night.
Melis
That WAS a tough call. There was something special and unique about each one.

You're not hurting my feelings, that's for sure! I love doing these kind of things just for the challenge and to give me direction...winning would be a bonus, but I certainly don't expect it! I love seeing everything everyone comes up with and Linda did a FABULOUS job and deserves to win! The other chosen ones were equally great...CONGRATS! to all the winners, and I hope you do this again! It was fun!
