It's finally here! As an editor who has participated in the planning of this event (more on the sidelines than anything else), I can't say enough about how exciting it is that this day has arrived!
There's A LOT that goes into the coordination of an international holiday such as this one, not the least of which is getting the word out to the paper crafting community to celebrate it.
So, I hope the word has reached YOU and that you are taking some time today to celebrate the gift of giving a handmade card.
I simply can't wait to get started. In fact, I woke up at my usual time this morning without the help of my alarm, 6:08. The first thought that popped into my head was, "It's here! Today's the day I get to immerse myself into card making again!"
And I haven't slept a wink since.
When I came downstairs to put the coffee on, I discovered that it's a rainy day here, perfect for hunkering down, lighting a fragrant candle, putting on some tunes, and playing with product.
But first, the coffee must be drunk:
And second, the craft room must be straightened:
I'm going to hold myself to a general clearing-off-of-the-surfaces, because if I clean this room the way I should, there will be no energy left for cardmaking.
Check back with me as the day progresses. I'll post a play-by-play, or a card-by-card, if you will, with the winners of the prizes being announced when I'm completely exhausted from the card making splendor of the day.
Happy card making everyone!
Happy WCMD right back at ya! Have a wonderful day - I'll be checking back to see your wonderful creations. I'm going to do what I can in between soccer games and shuttling kids here and there.

Happy World Card Making Day, Cath. Your cards are fun! And I'm totally impressed with how much progress you made in your craft room today. Do you have time to come over and clean up my room like that? ;)
Enjoy your time creating and celebrating!
