Scrap Pile DT Layouts...........................

have been loaded over at Scrap Pile for a little while, but my neglect of this poor blog means I haven't displayed them here.
I had the pleasure of working with the vibrant Bo Bunny Gypsy range and the delightful Cherry Arte Deco Hall range. Both paper ranges are lovely heavy weight papers and the colours in the Gypsy range are truly vibrant. And now the layouts:



This week is absolutely flying by. Hopefully some scrapping tonight.

World Card Making Day...............................

is today:
WHAT
World Card Making Day is a holiday especially for card makers around the world to:

Celebrate the creativity of handmade cards and the personal connection that they create between friends and family
Kick off (and get a head start on) the holiday card-making season

WHEN
The first Saturday of each October, kicking off the holiday card-making season, the most popular time for creating and sharing handmade greetings.

WHO
The card-making community worldwide, including hobbyists, beginning card makers, manufacturers of card-making products, retail sellers of products, educators, and press are invited to come together to celebrate this holiday and creative passion.

It is a day to connect with fellow card makers both near and far, to applaud the creativity that powers the craft, and to provide an opportunity for card makers to connect and find resources that will empower, inspire, and encourage them in their card making.

The perfect 2 in 1 option ~ a card and gift holder in one.
