After months of browsing the sampler site,then deciding Ill contribute, then actually making cards and finally mailing they are now featured in the contributors gallery!

See if you can find them. In the listing.

I got to go to a cute little make n take event and so some creative cards that I really like. The gal had all pieces precut so it was sooooo fast and easy and looks great!

Out of 38 original contestants 17 actually got me their cards. They really made some fantastic creations and will be invited exclusively to our next swapping event (a one or 2 page layout made for another contestant). All entrants will receive a small holiday thank you gift in the mail for their time BUT one contestant, voted by YOU will get a fantastic grand prize from Itchin to Scrap!
