Christi made something, too, and it's not a princess card ;)

So here's my card with a stamp from the newest Gina K. Designs release and new Echo Park Summer Days paper and a new die I got from MFT Stamps!

The Helmar DT had a little contest to see who could round up the most NEW Facebook Friends for Helmar and me and my sweet, sweet friend Jessica won!  {OK fine, she won and I came in 2nd, but close enough!}

SO that means YOU win, too!

I have a sweet prize package for you from Helmar:

All you must do is leave me a comment here on this blog post, be sure to include your email (if it's not on your profile) and it would make me SO HAPPY if you'd also visit the Helmar Facebook page and LIKE them, too!  Now you don't have to but it sure would make me smile....and maybe if about 10 more of you do and tell them I sent you I can beat Jessica, LOL (nope not competitive at all, no sir-e)!

If you have a favorite Helmar product I'd love to know that, too, cause I am totally nosy like that!

I'll post a winner on Friday morning!
