k consumers are continually approaching us with incredible ideas for greeting cards, and we love that passion," said Lindsey Roy, senior product manager at Hallmark. "As a company built on creative expression, we wanted to see what might happen if we invited our fans to create whatever's in their hearts. They didn't disappoint. It's been inspiring to see the unique, amazing ways Erin and the other entrants interpreted the theme."

McGuire entered the contest by logging on to http://www.Hallmark.com/you and shared her card design inspired by the theme of connecting and (PRODUCT) RED. Entrants were then judged -- based on representing the theme, creativity and ability to be sent for multiple occasions -- by representatives from Hallmark and (RED)(TM). The 10 finalists' designs were posted on http://www.Hallmark.com/you where consumers were encouraged to vote for their favorite design through Jan. 10, 2008.

Meet the other finalists

While McGuire's design was voted by consumers as best design in the country, she faced stiff competition from other creative consumers. Meet the other nine finalists, hailing from a variety of locales:

-- Emily Barklage from Eureka, Mo.

-- Leslie Bernal from San Antonio, Texas

-- Tiffany Bogus from Sarasota, Fla.

-- Mia Deng from Atlanta, Ga.

-- Kelsey Hargens from Ames, Iowa

-- John Lucatorta from Tucson, Az.

-- Meredith Shamburger from Carthage, Texas

-- Angie Stiles Richardson from Peoria, Ill.

-- Daniel Williford from Los Angeles, Calif.

The 10 finalists received $250, with Hallmark matching that amount in a contribution to the Global Fund. Their designs also were made into actual Hallmark cards currently for sale on http://www.Hallmark.com/you through the end of February. McGuire's car
