Good morning/afternoon everyone! There are just not enough words to THANK YOU for all for your excitement, your appreciation and your enthusiasm during our AMAZING "12 days of holiday giving" event! With almost 60,000 views on the blog and over 10,000 comments, we could not be more thrilled by the response. Having already spoken with many of our sponsors this past week, I can tell you they have been excited watching YOUR excitment each day. One of the comments we especially loved was from Jill who said....
"Honestly I think I have had more fun opening up this contest everyday and being WOW'd and WOW'd everyday by the absolutely incredible prizing and great information about products I have never used. I visited the product sites and learned a tonne and more importantly was totally inspired. Reading people's comments was hilliarious and energy charging as well. It made me want to connect with my scrapbooking girls again and get to work. Thank you so much for the fun, the laughs, and the chance to win! Posted by: jill | December 21, 2010 at 02:12 PM

Day Twelve - Grand prize package incl. HP printer, I-rock gift set, Sew Easy and a subscription!
Dear SCT -- you have made the 12 days of Christmas absolutely unbelievable. I could use really use a new printer since mine just gave out, and I would also love the I-Rock as I had the opportunity to use it in Vickie Boutin's class at Scrapfest -- it is amazing!! Each and everyone one of these prizes is wonderful and the 12 lucky ladies will be sure to have one extra present just for them under their Christmas trees. Thank you SCT for all you do to inspire and encourage. Happy Holidays to all.

Congratulations to all our winners! Merry Christmas to you! Most prizes will ship out early in the new year directly from our sponsors. We will contact you for your mailing information over the next few days however, if you don't hear from us before the 31st, please send us an email to ideas@scrapbookandcards.com with "12 days of holiday giving" in your reference line.
Again, thank you everyone for participating and making SCT your first stop in the morning! We have another amazing year planned for our readers and hope you will continue to join us each day - Monday - Friday on the blog for inspiration all year through. Up next will be our kick off to "Project 12 - 2011" starting January 1st! We are going to do things a little differently (to make it a little easier to follow!) and having seen the PageMaps sketches, you are going to LOVE IT!
A special thank you to our sponsors as well. Without them we could not have put together such a fun-filled event, nor could we publish Scrapbook & Cards Today. Please continue to support them as you support us. And of course, a huge thank you to the entire team here at the magazine - they are an amazing group of people I am fortunate to work with. They inspire me each and every day with their creativity, their thoughtfulness and their enthusiasm. Simply put, they are the best.
From all of us at SCT, we wish everyone a very happy holiday with friends and family and we will see you on January 1st!
~ Catherine
(oh and Jill for your thoughtful comment at the beginning of this post, you have a one year subscription coming your way!)
