    So entry rules stated it had to be a Photo Card or Custom Text Card and I can’t tell on #5, 8 & 9 if they are customizable 😦
    So, I vote for:

    4. Jenny Fenlason

    Great job everyone! Some wonderful entries! I didn’t get mine done in time . . . hahaha!

      To clarify, I checked, and all entries are either photo cards or have customizable text on the front.

    These are all very charming cards, but my vote goes to Sheryl Kasper’s card, because I love the little bird and the retro look of the tree decorations and the packages! 🙂

    I have to say little birdies are my weakness. I vote for Sheryl Kasper’s adorable card.

    I agree that they are all lovely. I wish they could all win the prize. 🙂 I also kind of wish it were a secret ballot; but since it’s not, I’ll vote for 5. Lisa Charlton’s cute card because it is so unique. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a Christmas card with that many birds on it that weren’t cardinals. Lol. And their little Santa caps are sooooo adorable! 🙂

    They are all great but I like #1 by Betsy Bush. I like the balance of colors, composition and the way the snowflakes go over the photo. But I sure would like to get any of these for a card from friends or family.
