OK. So how in the WORLD did this happen?!? One minute World Card Making Day was "next month", and then next minute it's TOMORROW! I know I've been "spinning-in-circles busy" recently, but gooooood grief!
So anyway, now that it IS tomorrow, I guess I'd better get the invitation out for my WCMD "event", huh? Which will be virtual this year, since my stamping friends are several hundred miles apart and impossible to gather into one room. :-) So here's the scoop:
You're invited:
To join me for World Card Making Day, by scheduling time tomorrow (Saturday, October 4th) to make one or more handmade cards. And then connect with me on Facebook: www.Facebook.com/YourPaperDreams
I'll be posting throughout the day with updated totals of cards we've collectively made, and some other stuff that just MIGHT lead to your winning a prize! But of course you can only win if you're participating! So keep checkin' in throughout the day and sharing how YOUR cardmaking is going. (Tip: don't wait to see something posted in your FB newsfeed, because only a small percentage of posts are likely to show up there. It's actually best to visit my page at the address above.)
So what kind of card(s)?
Well, ANY kind of handmade card counts! But some ideas that come quickly to mind include:
- Catch up on some Paper Pumpkin (or other Stampin' Up! card kits) if you've been letting them accumulate
- Get a good strong start on your Christmas cards (or if you're feeling really ambitious, make a full day of it and get 'em completely DONE!)
- Lay in a stash of the birthday, anniversary and thank-you cards you'll need for the rest of the year. Just think how convenient it'll be to have something all ready to go on those busy days you're tied up with other holiday activities!
- Make some cards to donate to a favorite organization: "sunshine" type cards for members of your church, some cards of support and thanks for service members, or cards to donate to a fund-raising raffle.
And here's something timely from Stampin' Up!…… A "Stamp, Stock & Save" stock-up special! In a nutshell, EVERY color of Classic ink pad, and all assortment packs of 8-1/2 x 11 cardstock, and envelopes & a few other things are ON SALE through Monday (Oct. 6th). This is the first time I ever recall such a generous cross-section of "basics" on sale at the same time, so if you're finding your basic supplies looking a little thin (or you still need something to complete your ink & paper collection), now's the time to stock up! But you'll want to hurry, because this all ends on Monday!
