Thank you so much to everyone who participated in our 2006 Greeting Card Contest - receiving all your cards was great fun!
As always, our choice was very difficult. There were many creative, clever, and polished entries and only four prizes available for this round.
We also chose 4 entries for honorable mention - though we would have liked to have chosen many more for recognition.
All card entries have been resized to fit this page; a few have also been cropped or digitally enhanced in other ways - to better suit this page and our purposes. Our judges made their choice based on the original entries as submitted; many factors were considered.
All decisions are final. Prize packages (store credits) will be sent to Grand Prize and First Prize winners by email. Honorable mention card crafters will receive a small gift in the mail from our crew for their amazing contributions to this year's contest. If you are a winner and have not been contacted, please email us using our contact form.
