 Hi everyone,

I'm sorry to hear some of you are unhappy with the outcome of this competition, especially as this should be a chance to congratulate our winners. Personally I feel that thank you cards can include all sorts of greetings; Just for You, You're the Best, Especially for You etc. We've certainly featured thank you cards in the magazine with sentiments like this in the past.

Of course we'd like to give everyone who enters a prize, but unfortunately we're just not able to do that. I'd like to congratulate our very worthy winners on two fantastic designs.

If anyone would like to contact me to discuss this further I'd welcome your emails or phone calls.

Best wishes,

Sarah

Not Entering Again

I've decided I'm not entering again for sure. I agree that there shouldn't be rules in the first place, just entering a card of your own choice: but, if there are rules, they should be the same for all, otherwise it's unfair to all. I thought I knew who would win (no, not me) but she hasn't and I think it's a great shame. It's the winning that matters, not the prize. The people I've spoken to still haven't said anything, but maybe there's time yet. Thank you to those that have. I would just like to add I've nothing against Gill at all. The ones I'm disagreeing with are those at the magazine choosing the winner/s.   

In agreement

 This is why I haven't been entering at all,  the rules aren't being adhered to.   OK, we all know that there isn't massive prizes, it is the taking part and winning a  competition that we like to do.

So, why are there rules in the first place?

Congrats to Martina, but I thought they were supposed to be thank you cards?...the first one doesn't even have thank you on it. Don't think I'll be entering any more of these challenges as you aren't even abiding by your own rules, so I don't see the point. I know other people feel the same way as I've been talking to them since yesterday, but they probably won't bother to say anything.   

I agree seraphina, first and

Thank you for choosing my card as one of the winners. The gorgeous Wild rose  Butterfly Garden papers free with your magazine were just perfect for this challenge. Martina.
