A Free Christmas Printable, A Giveaway and a Favor

-- THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED. THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO PARTICIPATED! --


For the past few years, I have been designing our Christmas cards, and this year will be no different. Except that I have created several, and I can't choose! I do have a couple that I am leaning towards, but I still can't decide, and the man is tiring of me asking for his opinion!

That's where you come in. I need your help, my dear friends. Can you help me choose our Christmas card this year? To thank you, I will send you my latest printable for Christmas, one that I won't be offering otherwise on my blog.


My inspiration for the NOEL printable came from this:


AND thanks to the popularity of my Subway Art & Scripture printables (here and here and here), I am also giving away a free printable, personalized just for one lucky commenter! You decide what you want it to say, the style, color scheme, etc., and I will design it for you. Or if you would prefer, send me your photos and I will design a digital Christmas card to your specifications.

Here are my top four picks for our 2010 Christmas card.

1.

2.

3.

4.

(In case your wondering, I used digital scrapbooking packs from shabbyprincess.com. Cards were created using Photoshop).

So which is your favorite?

Just leave me a comment telling me your favorite, and I will send you a NOEL printable to say thanks! Make sure to let me know if you want gray or green, and that your email address is visible.

Personalized Printable/Christmas Card Giveaway: You can have up to three chances to win (Leave a SEPARATE comment for each):
1) Leave me a comment telling me which Christmas card is your favorite.
2) Be a follower (or subscriber) of Betty Crocker Wannabe, and tell me that you are.
3) Blog about the contest, and leave me a comment with a link.

The giveaway closes Thursday, November 18 at 8:00 am PST. The winning card and the winning commenter, will be announced here on Friday, November 19. The winner will be notified by email.

Thanks for helping me out, and good luck!

Oh, and Rick thanks you to, because if you choose, it means that he doesn't have to!

    I follow...right over a cliff I will follow if it means I can win a Christmas card design...

    Please oh please pick me!

    Now...for YOUR Christmas card, #2 was my favorite until I saw #4. I love them both but #4 just shouts 'home for the holidays' with a fireplace and cup of hot chocolate.
