Have you marked your calendars yet? Saturday, October 4th is World Card Making Day and to celebrate I'll be giving away two copies of Cards, Gifts & More: Paper Crafting 3 Ways (courtesy of Paper Crafts Magazine) here on my blog. If you haven't seen this issue yet, it really is a good one - I posted more about it here.
Stop by the special website to join in the fun with card makers the world over on Saturday, Oct. 4, as we kick off the holiday card-making season. Now in its third year, World Card Making Day is a day to connect with fellow card makers around the globe and to celebrate the creativity and joy of this craft! Hobbyists, beginning card makers, manufacturers of card-making products, retailers, and educators, are all making plans to share the excitement of World Card Making Day with workshops, online galleries, parties, contests, sales, and other special events.
Visit www.worldcardmakingday.com for ideas and unique ways to celebrate this holiday, including:
o Sharing your unique designs with the world in the Creation Corner Gallery
o Finding and visiting an Official World Card Making Day Retailer for classes and activities that will help you connect with other fellow card makers
o Planning your own fun activities with friends and family with ideas from the Celebrate section
Join Paper Crafts magazine on this amazing day that brings card makers from all over the globe together in celebrating the joy of giving the gift of a handmade card.
To be entered into the drawing to win one of these two copies, simply post a comment to this thread by October 5th and I'll select the winners randomly. If you can post a link to a card you've made (or a favorite card you've found online), all the better!
Would love the magazine. My 4 year old granddaughter is making cards for friends and family birthdays. They are toooo cute. As always thanks for sharing your talent and ideas.

Card making is one of my most favorite things to do. I find it totally relaxing and I just love to play with paper, scissors and stamps. Thanks for the heads up about PaperCrafts doing something on that day.
