2 winners for 200 followers! Plus a card or two!

I had a give-away going on my blog last week to celebrate my busy week of scrappiness -- posts everyday and two blog hops.  In the midst of it all, I reached and surpassed 200 followers, so I decided that was reason enough to give away two prizes.  I'll announce the winners shortly, but first, a card:


I've been wanting to try the chalkboard technique, and this stamp by Raisin Boat seemed like a good one to start with. The Oops a Daisy stamp set has some fun images.  I heat embossed this one, then offset is slightly with white ink.  I used some Twisted Teal twine from Trendy Twine (on sale this month!), die cut the word 'MOM' on my Silhouette, and added a couple buttons (Theresa Collins Spring Fling), strung with some Close to My Heart Waxy Flax. The base is Carta Bella Kraft paper.

So, that's my simple card to share with you, before I tell you the winners.  OK, enough of making you wait. Two winners, two prizes.  I used random.org to first choose which days to pick my winners from (days 4 & 5), then the commenters.  Winners are....

are you ready?....

Chris said:  These turned out great!I really love the colours! on day 4, and

Jennifer Mitten said: Love this - I love butterflies and can never get enough of them! on day 5.

Congrats to both winners!  Please let me know your addresses and I'll mail out your goodies for you.
