Really, before you started paper-crafting – how silly would this have sounded to you!?
World Card Making Day was celebrated on 10/03/09. Normally, I am not a card maker (it takes me just as long to create a card as it does a 12 X 12 layout!!) but I participated in a few challenges at the online crops at two of my fave message boards, had me some Helmar and some Pink Paislee, and am actually quite pleased with the results!
Gotta tell you girls, making cards is a lot easier and a lot more fun when you have the right glues! Check out my cards, I listed each Helmar adhesive with the card element I used it on in the supply list.
Also, just a tip from me, I love to bring my card design to the inside of the card – just a sliver of paper, a stamp or rub-on really makes a "finished" card!
Now, I just have to find a "card worthy" person to present these to!
Thanks for stopping by!
