It just seems like World Card Making Day was yesterday, but when I look at my calendar it tells me that is was over a month ago. Time certainly flies this time of year.
We had such a wonderful day stamping and socializing with our team, the Stamp Pad Society, our friends and customers that I wanted to take the time to share with you. So, over the next few weeks I will be sharing some of the fun pictures from our event taken by our own Megan “Paparazzi” Mears the day of the event.
I will also share the cards and tags that were part of the kits that day. I am starting with Christmas as I know that is what many of you are planning and creating right now. We will start with Peace at Christmas. This was a card I created in conjunction with my friend and team member, Linda Clough. This card gave us both fits as we worked toward the perfect blend of stamping and getting the greeting piece just right. In the end it was a fan favorite of those attending our World Card Making Day event. I hope you enjoy it, too!
