Hello, Everyone!

Are the daffodils and tullips blooming and birds singing where you are yet? Spring is here (or not far away ;) ). What can be more inspiring than the beauty of nature with the vast array of colors and textures. Besides being a birthday card, no specific theme is required.

We will select 4 winning cards to be displayed along with one of Dee’s cards from the home page e-greeting selection. One of them could be YOURS. In addition to having their cards featured from the home page, the winners will also receive a Grab Bag of 5 All Night Media Wood Mounted Stamps (approx. value $35) (Posh Choice)

The voting will be handled anonymously by the Club Posh members.

Here are the rules for the contest:

Rules and Voting for Birthday Contest
At least one Posh Impressions stamp must be used. Images from other companies may be used also but need appropriate credit for respective image(s). Submissions may be used in any manner by Posh Impressions, in whole or in part for sales and promotional endeavors without providing compensation and without the need for Posh Impressions to specifically request permission.


A maximum of 3 cards per participant may be entered. Note: Only one card and prize is allowed per member as a winner. Therefore, if multiple entries receive votes, the card with the highest number of votes among this member's entries will be the card chosen as a sole entry for contest results.


Please include any stamp credits for other images used on card(s) as well as brief description of technique or other materials used. Complete directions are not necessary.


Either a scanned image of the card or the original card must be in the possession of moderator, lovetostamp, on or before May 22nd. Scanned images should be in .JPG format and emailed to RnDStrick@qconline.com. If you don’t have scanning capabilities, send a PM or email to Daylene (lovetostamp) to obtain mailing address. Members should include full name AND Posh username with scan or card. If other stamp images are used on the card, stamp credits need to be included.


All entries will be uploaded for a approximately a two week period of voting beginning May 23rd and ending on May 31st. The cards will be identified by a number only. Club Posh members will choose the winning cards by sending their 2 picks via email to moderator, lovetostamp (Daylene) at RnDStrick@qconline.com. When voting, it is only necessary to include your 2 number choices in the subject line. No comments are necessary. One voting email per member. (Yes, members can vote for their own card.)


The votes will be tallied and the top 4 cards will be the winners! Winners will be announced the week of June 1st. Winners will have their card featured in the birthday e-greeting selection along with a card from Dee's for the next quarter AND receive their choice of one of the prize selections. Limit of one winning card and prize per member.

Each round has had the more entries than the previous one. Let's keep this going. Isn't this fun?! Come on everyone! You can do it! ;)

Feel free to send me a PM if you have any questions.

Hey, everyone!

We have a few weeks before this round of the birthday contest ends and I don't have YOUR entry yet. (OK ... I have 3 members' entries...you know who you are. :p )

What about the rest of you? I know, I know ... lots of other things going on with the 4th of July contest and swap. There is still time for this one.

Refer back to first post in this thread for contest rules. Prize is a grab gag of 5 All Night Media Wood Mounted Stamps (approx. value $35) (Posh Choice) plus your card will be featured from the e-greeting selection for birthday cards on the home page.

Send me a scan of your card by May 22nd to enter.
Email: RnDStrick@qconline.com

Can't wait to see your fabulous entries!

YES! I can't believe I did THAT! LOL! Guess I should have had my breakfast before I posted (I don't drink coffee so I can't blame it on that.)

It is a grab BAG of stamps. :)

Let the fun begin ... if you haven't looked at the gallery yet, the birthday contest cards are uploaded. I just don't know what to say... :eek: (those that know me well will think THIS is a shock!) LOL! Ya'll (I am from Texas :D ) are sending in the most fabulous cards every time!

For everyone who is voting (and that is anyone who is a Club member), we've decided to slightly amend the rule. It's just too hard to pick 2 every time, isn't it? :eek: We think it is more fun if everyone picks their favorite 4 cards. We will tally up the totals and take the top 4 from this number. There will still only be one prize per person awarded.

So, what are you waiting for ... go check out the gorgeous cards everyone sent in and TRY to pick 4. :) Email your 4 choices by number by May 31st at RnDStrick@qconline.com. Winners will be announced the following week.

Here is a convenient link to the gallery category for the contest cards since their are 13 of them (they are are on two pages):

Wow, I just thought I had my choices down, and then BAM two more great entries appear! I am beginning to think that even 4 choices won't be enough! My oh my!
Well, off to choose....

I determined that I wasn't going to vote for my own....well OK - one of my own is one of my favorites...but still - How do you choose? I hope everyone takes a look at them and votes - even though it is hard. I can't imagine only picking 2! Thank goodness we can pick 4! Still...it's not easy. :cool:

Thanks to everyone who voted for my card. I can not believe one of mine made it in the contest because they were all wonderful. I loved all of the entries and in my book, they are all winners. Such talent in this group of stampers. It is mind boggling. Keep it up and everyone look forward to more wonderful birthday card competition in the next round, as many of you who have not entered are very talented too and should be included. Hugs, Verna

I second that Verna. Thanks to all of you who voted for my card. I was shocked it won. All of the cards were great. We have unbelievable talent on this site. I had fun trying to figure out what to stamp for this contest. Thanks again. Hope more of you join in for the next contest.
And a big thank you to you Daylene for all you do!

They are back online... members added descriptions and when this happens the cards go back into the holding queue until they are approved again. Any time something gets edited or changed it is automatically back in the queue.

Thanks so much Posh Impressions. I got my grab bag of stamps today and they are just wonderful. I am so happy with the stamps you selected, and only one was a duplicate of what I already have in my collection. I find that amazing. So, if you did not enter this contest before, do so...it is well worth it when you get such amazing prizes. I almost ordered some of these stamps that day, since she said they were paying the shipping, but refrained..am I glad I did. It was like they were reading my mind. I did order the rest of the Triple ups though that I did not have, so now I have the complete set that has been made by All Night Media. So, you can bet I am a happy camper now. Thanks again and a big HUG from me...Verna
