Good morning friends and welcome to World Card Making Day 2015 with all of us at Scrapbook & Cards Today magazine! We love celebrating this day. Cards are often given for special occasions such as Christmas, birthdays, and holidays but who does not love a card that conveys thanks, thinking of you or a simple hello from a friend. Regardless of the reason, the thought behind giving someone a handmade card is what counts. Today we have a fun filled day designed for you that we're sure will inspire you to reach into your supplies to create a card for that special someone!
Here is what our fun filled day will look like:
9:00 am The SCT team and a guest come together with a card round robin. From one inspiration piece comes four cards you don't want to miss.
11:00 am Three cards, three designers and three colour palettes.
1:00 pm A sketch challenge featuring sketches from our brand new Creative Cards Vol. 1.
3:00 pm 3t's - tips, tricks and techniques from three guests! It's all about the three's this hour!
5:00 pm We kick off our annual Bring a Smile to a Child campaign with Jennifer McGuire and guests.
6:00 pm The day will wrap up with one final prize!
Of course, to kick off World Card Making Day 2015, our friends at Simple Stories have joined us with this amazing prize...
