We’ve been watching the gallery on the World Card Making Day web site grow and grow and grow…and I am just giddy that it’s over 1300 cards already. If you add in the 1000+ cards from the 2008 archive, there’s a whole lotta inspiration going on!

Cath spotlighted five gallery winners over at Moxie Fab World a few days ago, and I’m here to show you the other five winning gallery cards. Wow — what a group of talented cardmakers we have in our midst! Each winner will receive a one year subscription to Paper Crafts magazine.

We’re also happily slicing open the envelopes that are arriving daily with entries for the World Card Making Day Card Contest (don’t worry, there’s still time to enter – details HERE).Photobucket
Even though there’s a sweet prize package for the 20 winning cards, the real winners are the soldiers who eventually receive the entries we don’t select. For the third year in a row, we’ll be donating them to a worthy cause: Operation Write Home (formerly Cards For Heroes).
We donated the 2008 entries that were not selected to www.cardsforheroes.com

As World Card Making Day continues to grow and bring cardmakers all over the world a lot closer to one another, we want to give a shout out to everyone who has helped spread the paper crafted love for this year.

Cheers!
Jennifer

    Great cards to all the winners! Cannot wait to try – but I am most excited about all the cards sent to OWH – I just sent it over 200 and when I was shopping @ Hobby Lobby just today I met a Mom of a soldier! As conversations go, we stumbled on the OWH cards – she thanked ME for making cards – I assured her my hobby is not as much as big deal as her son serving our country!!! I made sure she thanked HIM (or Her for all you girl soldiers out there!!!) YOU ALL ROCK – cardmakers & Soldiers alike! Thanks for posting a great note! ~Michelle ;)

    The cards are all so beautiful. It was such a fun day for everyone. Sending the cards to our soldiers is a wonderful thing to do. They deserve this and so much more.

    I’m so glad I was able to get a batch of cards made for the troops and over to you ladies. Even if they’re not deemed top of the crop to win, I’m glad they’ll be making their way out to our protectors oversees. Thanks for hosting this challenge ladies!
