Happy World Card Making Day

Card making was my first foray into the paper crafts.  This was before I had my kiddos.  My cards were fairly simple often with a stamped or embossed image.  When they arrived, I made all of their birth announcements but it wasn't until I started to scrapbook that I really got into card making.  It was a way to use up all my scraps but it was also an excuse to buy all these great embossing folders and dies.

Over the past year, I haven't been making that many cards and if I do make them, I often forget to mail them to their recipients. *blush* My family can attest to this.  I don't know how many times over the last year or so that I have handed them their cards 6 months after the date.  I was always bad before but never this bad.

So to celebrate World Card Making Day today, I am going to try to make more cards and get them into the mail box going forward.

I have even managed to make two cards.  One is using up scraps of Graphic45 papers and stickers from some of the art journaling I have been doing lately.  The second is made from bits and pieces of paper from the very bottom of my scrap bin.  I am sure they have been in there for a few years at least.

Since I am feeling creative, I think I will go back and see if I can either make a couple more cards or maybe even a layout.

Happy World Card Making Day!
