It has been an extraordinary day and we are so happy you joined us to celebrate one of our favourite days of the year! If you have been with us throughout the day, we hope you enjoyed all the inspiration and thank you for spending your Saturday with us. If you just joined us or checked in throughout the day, we hope you'll view each post and of course leave a comment for an opportunity to win all of today's incredible prizes! If you take up our challenges, make sure we see them. We love to see your work! YOU are the reason we do what we do and we love doing it!
A big thank you to our very talented team and guests for the beautiful artwork they shared today. Let's give them a round of applause. If you're alone at your computer, it's ok, they hear you! If your family is nearby and giving you sideways glances as you clap, just smile and do it anyways! We can all be a little crazy sometimes right? I feel fortunate to work with this team of supportive women who continue to amaze and inspire me with their creative talents.
A final thank you to all our generous sponsors today. When we send out an email saying we are celebrating they celebrate with us. Thank you for taking the time to thank them on their Facebook pages. It's the easiest way for them to see your appreciation and as our next big event will be our "12 days of Holiday Giving" they are sure to remember all of today's lovely comments.
Our final prize today is from a company that offers us a great deal of support for all that we do here at SCT. American Crafts and all their brands are good to us. If you've been to a Crop & Create event, purchased one of our Crop & Create Delivered kits, read our magazine or our special issues then you know they are right beside us. It seemed only fitting to end the day with our friends from American Crats and this fun prize…
The Documentary collection is a colorful, fun new collection from Dear Lizzy. Sweet florals, geometric patterns, and polka dots join icons of cameras, typewriters, pinwheels and more in this darling collection that features an eye-catching color palette of cool aqua, bold pinks, and cheerful yellow. Colours, patterns and textures oh my! You'll also see some of this new collection in our winter issue and our 2016 Planner which, surprise, is currently in production!
And since it's World Card Making Day, we have a few copies of our brand new Creative Cards Vol. 1 special issue to give away! We will draw three different winners for that!
To be entered in to our final prizes of the day, please be sure to leave a comment below telling us what you enjoyed most today. Was it the challenges, the tutorials, the prizes or just joining like minded crafters from all over the world to enjoy this day creating cards for loved ones. We would love to know what spoke to you!
Leave your comments by Friday, October 9 and we'll announce all the winners next Saturday, October 10th. One final good luck!
To give our friends at American Crafts a big thank you, be sure to visit them on their Facebook page. We appreciate you for doing that!
And that's a wrap SCT friends! Have a wonderful day!

I most enjoyed seeing all the wonderful products that were being offered as prizes. It’s cool to see the variety and quality of them. I also enjoyed the designers’ samples.
I enjoyed creating all different types of cards fof all the fun challenges I found online.
Wow was doing Mom duty today and forgot all about today it should be a national holiday. I can’t wait to see all of the inspiration and try out some of the ideas that were shared today.
I like the tutorials since I can always learn something new and useful.
I’m grateful for all the hard work that went into creating such a wonderful day. I enjoyed all the inspiration. Thank you for all the chances to win so many prizes too.
I loved the tips, tricks and techniques! It is always nice to learn the latest and greatest of our paper craft. I also like how we had several options of uploading our projects Thank you for a fun filled Saturday and all the giveaways!
I loved the inspiration from all the wonderful cards. Thanks for a fun day.

I love American Crafts. I just finished two cards using leftover scraps from AC for one of your new sketches you had on your blog today. Thanks for the great day!
On this very drab sad ugly day of cold and rain in Michigan, seeing all the color and explosions of creativity on here was a blessing. Thank you. Now it’s nap time.
I loved all the amazing prizes today and the generosity from all the sponsors! It’s been a fun celebration today! Thanks!
This was an amazing day or ideas and challenges. I was impressed and want to do the tri fold card, the water mark ink ideas and Virginia Nebel is always the BEST. I love the American Craft package you are offering and look forward to any prizes you may be sending my way! Thank you so much and I look forward to the next issue of SCT coming my way.
I loved all the tutorials and inspiration .
So glad that card makers get recognition one day per year.
Being pretty much flat on my back following surgery, I most enjoyed seeing the beautiful cards made by so many talented artists!
I just love being part of a like minded community as well as the terrific work by the designers and these fabulous giveaways!! Such fabulous festivities and challenging myself is fun too!!
Great giveaways from great companies all day long! Thanks for sharing!
This was a great day – thank you, as I know a lot of work went into pulling it all together. Now, it’s time to get the kids in bed and try to do some of your challenges.
What a great card-making day! Thanks for all the inspiration and prizes!!
I loved everything that you had to offer today, tutorials, challenges and as always great inspiration. Happy World Card Making Day!

Really enjoyed checking in with you today. Hope to share some projects real soon. Thanks to all the great sponsors. Hugz
Today has been wonderful in that every hour of your posts, you filled us with inspiration and ideas on how to create beautiful works of art. Thank you for a great fun filled day. The techniques, and how to’s were fantastic. Thank you SCT and all your amazing and very generous partners.
My favorite thing today is the challenges. It got me in my craft room and got my crafting mojo going. I have been battling a bit a depression lately, so this pushed me into a happy place. THANK YOU for all that you do!!
The prizes have been generous and fun but I also really love the tutorials and inspiration for my own crafting projects! Thanks so much for a fun day!
Got so busy making cards that I lost track of time!!! My favorite part of today is being invited to participate in the Bring A Smile To A Child Campaign! I make cards for local pediatric floors at hospitals in my area year round and love being able to add another way to Pay it Forward!
The 3T hour was fun and informational and the challenges were so fun to do! I am going to create more cards over the next few days and post them for the challenges in addition to the ones I already posted!! Thanks for putting together such a wonderful day for us to enjoy and thanks to all the sponsors for the amazing prizes!!!
Love all the tutorials!
Always fun to see other’s
creations and get new ideas
and techniques! Had a great
time hanging out on your blog.

It was a great day seeing all the cards, tips, techniques and inspiration. Thankyou for the great day SCT and Thank you to all the wonderful sponsors.
I enjoyed seeing all of the prizes – but it was also rewarding to know that so many people were joined into a common pool.
Scrapbookers (and card makers) are a sharing group. Just witness the tutorials posted today.
thanks to everyone and to Scrapbook and Cards Today Magazine for putting on this celebration.
What a great day. For some reason anything that looks watercolour-y really appeals to me , that will always catch my eye. Some of the prizes had that watercolour look and Kimberly’s card earlier today really inspired me
I loved the inspiration, the tutorials and all the prize opportunities. I Guess there isn’t just one thing I liked best. I just enjoyed sharing the day with you and your guests. Thank you all!!!
I really value the tutorials.
I love the challenges and the fun I had with friends!
Thanks for making WCMD so special. I love seeing all the inspiration.
Thanks for sharing so much today. I spent part of the day at a card workshop with some friends – so much fun to know that we were part of a larger group of crafters around the world doing the same thing! Love our crafting community :)
This day has just been the BEST! I loved it all! The projects that were showcased provided me with so many fantastic ideas. I can’t wait to try out some of the new tips and techniques that I learned. I’m also already thinking about how I will incorporate some of the brilliant stylistic details that I observed today on cards that I will be making. It’s so great to have a day that celebrates an art that at its core is about spreading joy and making people smile! How great is that!!! SCT’s partners are all so generous! The prizes are outstanding! Best of luck to all who posted comments! The biggest THANK YOU goes to the SCT team for hosting this fun and very special celebration on WCMD! It was an awesome way to spend a Saturday!!!
Thanks for all the great inspiration. I like seeing all the different color combinations of the cards. Unique color combos intrigue me and I often try to copy color combos I see in your mag
I enjoyed seeing all the beautiful cards today. Thanks so much for sharing.
I would love to win the magazine, love making cards
thanks for a fun day of giveaways and the inspiration
I loved it all but if I had to choose just one thing it would be the tutorials, I always love learning new things.
Of course I love the thought of winning one of the wonderful prizes. But I also like the photos … Of the cards, the tips and the prizes. I just love seeing the wonderful artwork and products, the colours and inspiration. This is a happy blog and a fun place to visit.
Everything was great: the designer creations, tips, tracks, and techniques, and of course the prizes
I liked the round robin challenge the best. Thank you for hosting this amazing day!
thanks for a wonderful day of inspiration & prizes!
The whole day was exceptional! Thanks for all the wonderful inspiration and the chances for great prizes.
Loved it all! Most of all – your sponsors ROCK! What fab prizes. I’ve been helping my son’s band today so haven’t been home very much. It’s been great to follow along on my phone and at least comment to win…although I am saving off your challenges for later! :)
Thank you for an awesome day of inspiration, ideas and support! Oh yes, the chance of a gift is always a treat and mood booster!! Thank you to American Crafts for sponsoring such an amazing company, with your giveaway! Great day!!
I enjoyed the challenges the most because that’s not something I usually see on your blog. The problem is though that my celebration will need to move into tomorrow because I’ve spent too much time on the computer today!
