We are thrilled to be celebrating World Cardmaking Day 2011 with you! We have had such an extraordinary year at the magazine that we asked our design team to make a card "giving thanks" to YOU! Based on a fabulous sketch from Becky Fleck, our team went to work creating some beautiful cards for World Cardmaking Day. We also wanted to showcase some of our favourite cards from our readers too. So thank you for always taking the time to send them to us! Without further ado...

Such inspiring ideas, to help us also be creative. There is nothing like giving or receiving hand-made cards. I haven't bought a card in years.
