What a great way to start a rainy Saturday! Thx for the inspiration and chance to win!!! I love to make xmas cards and tags. One of my favorite times of the year and put a little tlc in a card for my special people!
The online card class is a wonderful gift…one that will bring many days of creative joy to the lucky winners! Halloween and Christmas share first place as my favourite occasions for card-making, mainly because I love making an abundance of mini cards/tags or what-have-you for my niece, nephew and alllll their classmates. Currently working on an assortment of 50+ Halloween projects…so.much.fun!

Any card is special as my mind loves to create for whatever card I need at the time. Right now I’m into the turnabout stamps so for fall I’m using the dahlia with fall colors.
Interactive cards. They still fascinate my nephew even though he’s now 19!

I always look forward to WCMD with you guys! The inspiration and fun is amazing! My favourite type of card to make are Christmas cards. I think because they are the ones I know I’ll actually send to friends and family!
I make a lot of birthday cards for kids and adults too. I make them just on the day I need and the feeling of satisfaction I get after the recipient gets it is wonderful.
I always love to make Christmas cards but this year I’m getting into fall cards, since it’s my favourite season!
Birthday cards are fun but sympathy cards are my favorite. I know it sounds strange but it really takes alot of thought to make a good non generic type sympathy card. I guess I am not only a previous End of Life nurse but cardinale too.
I love making birthday cards. Looking forward to all the fun and inspiration today and hoping to carve out a little creative time as well!
Very exciting day!! I love making birthday cards the most!!
