107 Days and Counting!

Let the countdown begin – that’s how long we have until the fun and celebration of World Card Making Day is here for 2009! That’s right, mark your calendars for Saturday, October 3^rd and start building your plans now.

No idea where to start? Try the World Card Making Day web site. We’ve got plenty of ideas for celebrating in style, plus the 2008 community gallery. We’ll be adding card projects from our product partners (with photos, instructions and supply lists!) in the coming weeks, and invite you to help build the 2009 gallery by uploading your own cards as you make them. We’ll also be launching a blog hop later this summer.

And, as we do every year, we’ll be sponsoring the 2009 World Card Making Day Card Contest. This year’s prize package is worth over $185, and we’ll be awarding four winners in each of five categories. Keep your eye on the web site for more information.

So hop on over and get started today! If you’re already a member of our Scrap and Paper Corner community, you can can login with the same username and password as your Scrap and Paper Corner profile. Otherwise, you’ll need to set yourself up as a new user.

Then, feel free to use the World Card Making Day logo anywhere you’d like – your blog, your online profile, emails, or anywhere else you can spread the word and create yet another paper crafting connection through card making.

Finally, to get you into your crafty space to start making cards, here’s a chance to win a great big boost of inspiration.

For five lucky winners, I’ve got hot-off-the-presses copies of Card Creations, Vol. 7, plus a whole bunch of cheery chipboard accents in a rainbow of colors from GCD Studios.

Leave a comment by this Sunday, June 21 at midnight MDT and let me know how World Card Making Day fits into your life – do you use it to get your paper crafting space organized? Or is it your kick-off to making your holiday cards? Is it a great excuse to get your paper crafting peeps together for some creative fun?

However you do it, just unite and celebrate the connection and creativity that is the heart of card making.

Jennifer

    Last year was the first World Cardmaking Day I took part in & I had a blast visiting the MANY websites that participated. My favorite memory is (of course) the fabulous PTI stamp set I WON, Wise Owl & Wise Owl Bellies from Alli Miles!!! It was truly a fun day and I’m looking forward to it again this year!!!

    Barb Housner on June 20, 2009 at 6:36 am

    I think I should just mark that day off my calendar now so I can have fun all day. Playing with paper is my therapy and hopefully it always brings a smile to anyone I send a card to.

    Let the countdown begin.

28. 

    liz Hagage on June 20, 2009 at 1:40 pm

    well it was a good day for me to move off the couch and get those cards done for all the teachers in school (our school ends june 26). and i have finished them all 20 in total (had to make some for my friend since she is in school and has no time for nothing lol).

29. 

    Angie on June 20, 2009 at 2:49 pm

    I finally came over here to check out the blog and I love it! I get the magazine at the store almost every issue, and I just never came over to the blog. As for WCMD, I love using it as inspiration to start off my holiday cards, and I admit it, I love the discounts from all the Stamping/Scrapping stores! LOL!

    Fifi-T on June 20, 2009 at 3:08 pm

    Kelly on June 20, 2009 at 8:37 pm

    I’ve never participated in WCM Day before, so I’m really excited about this one! I have lots of plans–to lead a cardmaking / scrapbooking get-together with a friend for ladies from church, to move into my new studio (formerly, the garage), or to just sit and stamp all day long. Wonder which one I’ll be doing? Maybe all three! Yay, World Card Making Day!

33. 

    Janet L. on June 21, 2009 at 6:20 am

    World Card Making Day is the perfect time for getting together with friends to make cool cards, so, of course, that also calls for organizing the scrap room!!

34. 

    Laurie W. on June 21, 2009 at 8:50 am

    This is a great day to spend with friends and just be creative!
