Day 4: Unlock the Prize Giveaway (UNLOCKED)


unlocktheprize

Hey y’all! It’s time for the final day, Day 4, of my Unlock the Prize Anniversary Giveaway. This is a giveaway where everyone wins if enough entries have been received. We have unlocked the prizes every single day. Why? Because you ROCK! I am so happy to have “met” so many new people while doing this giveaway. Thanks to everyone who has stopped by so far. I hope you are enjoying your unlocked gifts, and if you are enjoying them, make sure to go back to those awesome designers and let them know that you love their work!

Today, we will try to unlock the Day 4 Prize Pack. By doing the various options in the Rafflecopter app below, you will help us reach the target number of entries.
Today, we need 500 entries by 5 P.M. Central Standard Time. How can this be done? Well, you have to enter and you have to spread the word to all of your friends so that they can enter too!

Here are a few rules about the giveaway:
1. When you enter, please make sure that you are using a working email. You cannot use multiple email addresses for your entries. If this happens, none of your entries will count and they will be removed from the Rafflecopter app.
2. Please do what you say you will do. If it asks you to follow someone, please do it! Entries will be verified. If you failed to do one of the entries yet said that you did, you will not receive the prize pack. I hate to do it that way, but I think that it is the only fair way to go about it.
3. The first entry MUST be done which is to leave a comment on today’s topic. Make sure to leave your comment first, then log in to Rafflecopter. When you comment, be sure to list your 3 things and leave the email that you will use for Rafflecopter (for verifying purposes). After submitting your comment, note the number next to your comment, because you will have to enter it in the Rafflecopter app.

Here’s a bit more help using pictures:

If the Day 4 Prize Pack is unlocked, I will send a message to the email that you used in the Rafflecopter app. The email will provide you with a link to download the prize pack. The pack will be available until midnight, Central Standard Time.

Please note that the Rafflecopter will end and will be removed once the number of needed entries has been reached. Make sure that you’ve entered your email before time runs out, or you will not receive the prize pack.

Now for today’s prizes…
