Happy World Card Making Day (pssst...there's blog candy!)

Happy World Card Making Day! (When I told him, my hubby said "Really? I guess there is a day for everything!") Be sure to make at least one card today! I'm busy with a bunch of other things today (will try to make one card at least) so had my friends Joanna and Liz over last night and we had dinner and made cards. Just celebrated a bit early! Got a few cards made and had lots of laughs, thanks ladies! Be sure to keep reading this whole post to find out about some blog candy you can win!

This first card is for Betsy Veldman's Card Creations Inspiration Challenge (I picked Julie Cameron's card on page 126 and turned it into a Christmas card), the Moxie Fab Word Jolly Holly Challenge and for the Moxie Fab World Offset Scallops Challenge. Thanks to Betsy and Cath for great challenges!

This is for the Embellish Magazine Stamped Background Colour Challenge. I went for a subtle VersaMark background using the A Muse Clear Frames Set. One thing that the picture doesn't show is the shimmer on the white shimmer couture paper. It looks amazing with the dry embossing!

Teri Anderson also put out a challenge on Facebook to use orange or yellow on a thank you card. Splitcoast Stampers has Hope You Can Cling To Challenges for Breast Cancer Month and this one fits for Lori's 'Bring in the Brown' Challenge. I love the patterned paper on this next card, even though it has pink (not my favourite colour) on it. This is also based on Teri's sketch on page 9 of Go-To Sketches Magazine.

ETA - I actually got time to make a card today! It's for SCS Inspiration Challenge 252 (I was inspired by the pattern on this wallpaper) and Rae Barthel's WCMD sketch. Now I have to clean up and get busy with my other non-card making stuff!

Now....in celebration of World Card Making Day....if you comment on this post, you can win some A Muse blog candy from me! You have until tomorrow (October 3rd) at midnight Pacific time to comment!

Have a great day! Check out the WCMD Blog Hop courtesy of Paper Crafts Magazine! If you are looking for some inspiration, check out my challenge from Monday, this month's A Muse Lounge Challenge, and this week's Color Dare!
