Here's how the drawing works, double entries were given this month if you used a Sweet Pea image.  If you did, your extra entry was added at the BACK of the list. For example if you were entry #1 using, your entries for the drawing would be numbers 1 and 84. If the second card using a Sweet Pea image was the 10th card in our challenge the drawing numbers would be 10 and 85.  Double entries are simply added again to the end of the list in the order they were acquired.

The 2nd prize will be drawn at the end of the month and it will be a  rubber stamp from Sweet Pea stamps, on the 15th I will show what the rubber stamp is, it will get mailed to the prize winner (overseas participants can win!) Note, ALL cards will be eligible for the 2nd drawing, card number 1....to the end.  You can enter up to three times using non-Sweet Pea images or any number with Sweet Pea stamps.
