tbh I foprgot I'd entered until Dior mentioned it. Got my copy this morning and went looking for Dior's name never expecting to find mine and then I checked the other category that I knew I'd entered and was shocked to see my name in both categories

Hey Pixefish you clever card maker you.


Surly you guys must get some sort prize even if it's a first class stamp to stick on the envelope containing your next years entry.

I think we do. I seem to remember £20 worth of goodies from the particular category we won in. So, I would hopefully get K&Co stuff and Pixie would get Little Rascals and Pebbles Inc (Xmas Envy) stuff!

Sort of. I can't believe that there were that many entries if mine was a runner-up! I really liked my card, but I never seem to know what the judges are looking for. I also liked my DCWV entry, but didn't get placed.

Still, I'm sure there were loads of entrants and must start believing in myself! Well done you for getting TWO placements!

Yes, I know I should. I can't accept that it is a fairly big deal, not least because it is a confirmation that my cards are not bad! Maybe I should add 'Runner up in the 2006 CM&P competition' on my labels

Dior- when i read your thread last night I was thinking wow- now modesty prevents me from being big headed but It actually IS a very big deal. If you're putting anything on your cards I'd think
Cardmaker of the year 2006 runner up- would be apt

If you had cards in a shop to sell Dior then i think you should put that on the marketing stuff. Other people put it on stuff to promote themselves
