I entered, and I WON!!!

About a week ago I was looking through Lizzie Anne Designs website and blog for some inspiration for my holiday cards when I noticed that they had a Holiday Card contest. Since I had already made three cards with their stamps for one of my classes at Cranberry Hill Mercantile, I decided to upload them and enter in the contest. You can see all three cards that I entered on the post here.

This morning I was checking my emails and there was one in my mail box from the Lizzie Anne Designs with the title of the email being "Holiday Contest Winner".. I thought: "OK, let me see who won this one.." Because there were so many great entries, I had never expected to win.. Guess what?? I WON!! THE FIRST PLACE!! THE GRAND PRICE!! What a great surprise!!

This is what Tricia Ulberg from Lizzie Anne Designs wrote in the email:

"The technique you used to make the three baubles is really cool, all our design team girls chose your card as their favorite!"

This is the card that won me the Grand Price :-).. For details about the card please check out this post.


Here is the link to the announcement on the Lizzie Anne Designs' blog, click here. There you can also see the other winning projects. Check out Melyssa Connolly's Christmas Bootie, I thought for sure that would be the one to win, isn't it the cutest?!

This is the first time that I won in the contest, but then.. I do not enter very often.. I am SO EXCITED though!!! I should probably enter my cards into more contests, huh..

Now I have $100 to spend at Lizzie Anne Designs. Just in time for my Birthday ;-).. I think I am going to wait until the new release to shop though...
