any good (non Hallmark) sites for e-cards? I need a congratulations card

but don't want to be forced to sign up for a subscription!

Thanks for any suggestions.

1. My dear Flaxbee!

I really like jacquielawson.com.

Now, the bad news: it does cost. It's pretty minimal, IIRC.

The good news? They make the most beautiful animated cards I have ever seen! Every other animated card I've seen looks cheap. Hers are classy and beautiful.

Have a look!

:hi:

12. thank you, my

star-giving friend ;) :hi:

I don't mind minimal cost at all - just don't like to be sucked into permanent subscription databases.

4. The only thing is that I've belonged there since 2003, so I worry about sending repeats, LOL.

But they do have some great animated cards. :hi:

5. I love CardCow - real old postcards of all kinds that you put your message on

Many are also for sale, and therefore have the backside displayed, some with the original message and 1¢, 3¢, or 5¢ stamp.

edited to add, you can specify what you are congratulating, i.e. "graduation","wedding", 'baby'', etc. to narrow the number to view.

7. I make my own using photographs

that I've taken. That way the text can be truly personalized!
