card boxes and winners

Good morning everyone and Happy Palm Sunday.  Hard to belive Easter and Holy week is upon us already.  
Well today is the day I draw for my anniversary/ blogiversary celebration winners.
But before that I want to share a couple of card boxes I made yesterday.  they have 10 premade cards and envelopes, and one has the sentiments matted and seperate so the customer/recipient can pic whichever sentiment with what ever card..I found the idea for this on Facebook in the group Card-making USA from Shannon Valade Hebert..
Set #1


Set #2


I plan on making another one today..I am hooked on them.
And now without further ado...the winners.
I assigend a number to each of those that entered to the amount of entries they had and used a random generator to get the winning numbers and the winners are
#1  Kris Dietz ~ assorted sticker/ribbon pack
and second is Linda Fillds~ Close to my Heart pack
 You girls both have one week to contact me via email or I will draw again.

CONGRATULATIONS to you both!!
Happy  Craftin' ~~~Cathy
