You might remember this blog post from two weeks ago when I shared the glorious news that our Simple Sentiments are totally free downloads. Free!
For some of you it was a revelation!
The coolest part is that our Simple Sentiments Challenge got several of you searching our archives for fun sentiments to use. It’s been so great to see you embrace not only our brand new sentiments, but our older ones as well!
After taking a look at all of the cards that the challenge participants posted, we picked the following three as our winners!
Winner #1 – Rachel Schumacher:

This cute sentiment was featured in the May/June 2010 issue.
Rachel’s sunshiny card fits the cute and happy sentiment perfectly! I just love how she colored the house and that jaunty red bow. Rachel says, “I can’t believe that I haven’t used these downloadable sentiments before! There are so many that I loved and are a breeze to use. Definitely something I’ll be going back to again.”

You’ll find this sassy sentiment in the March/April 2010 issue.
Regina’s card is filled with sophistication and class. She quips, “I love the sentiment and the image is perfect for an anniversary or maybe, just to simply say, ‘I love you.’”
Winner #3 – Stephanie Severin:

This spooky sentiment is in our current issue! – September/October 2010
Stephanie’s hybrid card is quite a masterpiece! She layered it over digital paper which she colorized, stamped the bats, and finished it off with mist for a “spooky sparkle.”
Congratulations, ladies! Each of you has won either a one-year subscription to Paper Crafts magazine or the special issue of your choice. I’ll be contacting you shortly to discuss your prizes.
