Phew, got my card in. Since the cute image has a ribbon on it, I thought about "cheating" & calling that my ribbon! LOL!

For prizes, I like the big prize idea (blog candy) best. You are so generous and offer so many freebies on your site that if anyone wants a freebie, they can certainly find them from you.

So sorry I didn't get to see you this time. I'll e-mail, but we may get to see you on our way out of Houston in November. I'm just putting it here to make everyone jealous that we might get to meet up again. LOL! Hugs my friend!

[Heidi Brawley]

Thanks Laurie for another fun challenge! I had to use Birdie Bat since you made him by request for something more HALLOWEENIE!!!! Love him! I prefer all to receive the image for participating.
Hugs, Heidi Brawley

[Vikki]

WOW! Those are some really talented ladies int he Design Team! Loved all the samples here and in the shop!!
I think a free digi would be nice for those that play along with the challenges.

[DQ]

I just liked my card to your challenge and
to answer your question, either way is fine with me, but I do like getting images for participating,everyone wins!!

[Heaney]

i would definitely love the surprises of receiving goodies...something which sometimes I can't get it in my country (Malaysia). So, just to be in the chance of winning such an awesome candy is sure a real thrill to me and make me coming back here for the challenge.
By the way, I love the coloured images using watercolour technique..so beautiful and inspiring (that I went to buy a pad of 300gsm watercolour paper to start watercolouring the image..wink wink..tx Laurie for the tutorial).

[Kerstin]

I prefere the free Image for everyone who plays and no Big Prize for only one.
I love your Images so much.

[Majo Robinson]

Hello Laurie. Gread cards are made again. And i like the freebies verry much but i also like getting 1 price i cant tjouse . i think everything is oke for me. Greetings Majo

[maranda]

hello laurie, you make beautiful creations, you have a great craft blog. If I have misunderstood anyone can opt for free choice in free freebies or blog candy. this choice is hard to choose I would like to have them both I can only one choice and that is to be honest blogcandy. I really like the challenge to participate. I hope that I have written in English well and that you can understand what I write? my english is not that good LOL.

thank you and wish you a wonderful day!
Hugs Maranda

[Patti Painter]

Laurie,
I am kind of in between like everyone else, I must admit that I sure did enjoy winning your wonderful blog candy last month, it was a wonderful package of goodies. But that said, I will play along whatever you decide to do, I enjoy your challenge site and your images. Thanks

[Glenda Atkins]

I really love the challenges you offer and I am a great fan of the freebies for participation. Blog candy is also great, either way I will be back!! I guess count me as freebie for participation vote.

[Carla]

Great set of new releases and fab cards by the DT! for the question...either or is fine by me!

[georgia]

Thanks for the challenge! It was fun to do!
~hugs~
Georgia
PS I like getting the free image myself but...everyone likes presents! I guess it will be up to you to decide!

[Chris]

Love the samples. My hands off to you and the design team.

If I understand the question right I need to answer do I want blog candy or free digi's? While blog candy is GREAT, only one person gets it (and it is never me). Where as it is always nice for everyone to get something for entering so if I have to make a choice, I would rather see free digis's.

[Marilyn D.]

Forgot to answer the question LOL. Hmmmm.. that's a hard question.. Probably go with image for participating with no blog candy :) Love love love your images LOL..

[Marilyn D.]

Awesome cards.. great images

[Gloria Westerman]

So glad to play.....my answer is...I always look forward to receiving a images from you.....but I also love to win candy.....so I'm caught in the middle.....what ever you decide is find......I still love to play here.....

[Marsha]

Oh, what a wonderful prize you are offering. I would like to see blog candy and no image in the future. Thank you for your generosity either way you decide.

[JenLee]

I linked my agapanthus card, Laurie, and in answer to your question, it is my opinion that you already give out SO MANY freebies, a prize would be much nicer to receive. I think too, that the recognition the prize winner gets is also great - being a winner on your group is something to WooHOO about! Love Jen

[georgia]

wonderful releases and super creations by all the DT! You have another winner here Laurie!

[Jerusha]

These sets are so much fun! Your cards are amazing too, you pack in so much detail!! Gorgeous!

[sue morris]

laurie, this is awesome! I love the shimmer to the bulb as well. Just wonderful!

[Khristen Foss]

Great images! Used a freebie for now, but plan to go back to purchase more (mainly that darling sheep tangled in Christmas lights!) Mine is all linked up.

[PAT(mspfd)]

Your samples are fabulous. Another super duper release, Laurie!
