World Cardmaking Day!!

  Did you know that today is 'World Cardmaking Day', well it's true and I thought it would be a perfect day to spend lots of time in my craft room.  I am feeling pretty good today and wanted to continue to work on some fun project.
   I started by looking around and found there are lots of events this weekend at various site and I'll share a few with you.  My first find was this 'World Cardmaking Day' site, which offer lots of fun ideas and also shares more details about the day.  Another great event this weekend is a huge Blog Hop over at Crafter's Digital Arts Center.  
   I then found a fun challenge over at the Bugaboo Stamps Challenge blog, which is hosting a new chalelnge today in honor of  World Cardmaking Day.   It was this challenge that inspired me to create my first two cards today and both of my cards were created with images from Bugaboo, and both are exclusive that you can only find in the October Stamp Club Set!  WooHOO!  I am such a fan of these fun whimsical stamps and they are a joy to color.


   My first card is Pumpkin Patch!


 And my second card is 'Boo-tiful'!!

 
     I am also submitting my cards to the 'World Cardmaking Day" challenge hosted by Clare, over at Simply Scrapping Crafts and at the Operation Write Home - Stars & Stamps Blog.

     Both cards were really fun to color and they are perfect for Halloween!  This challenge made it really fun for me to add two more Halloween card to my collection.

     I am back this afternoon with one more card to share and this card was inspired by this week's challenge over at the Michelle Perkett's Blog  and was created with one of her fabulous images, this one is called Bloom.   The Challenge this week is # 47 and the theme is Girlie with Bling --- a perfect challenge for me. I used lots of Glitter and colored my image in pretty 'Girlie' colors.



     I'm off again, to see what other fun events I can find today?  If you know of any World Cardmaking Day challenges this weekend, please let me know!  :)

Lisa, I love your card. She is indeed girly with lots of bling. I love how you blinged the butterfly's trail!!!! It is nice to see a Color Me Creative classmate! I'm looking forward to seeing you at "school." Thanks for joining us at MPS.
PS I went to order the air compressor that you recommanded, but it would not take my complete address. I have contacted them and I am sure they will resolve the problem.

A Little About Me

My photo
Northeastern, Massachusetts, United States
Purple is my favorite color and ironically - Purple is the Awareness Ribbon color for Fibromyalgia, a chronic illness I lived with for over 18 years. In, March of 2015, I was diagnosed with Stage IV Lung Cancer which had spread to my brain. I am fighting hard to win this battle and determined to beat it. I have a amazing Oncology Team, along with the LOVE and SUPPORT of all my family and friends! I am a Mom to two grown sons, Alex is now 25 and married to Acacia, my wonderful new "Daughter" and the parents to my precious Grand-Daughter Harper, and Brian amazingly is 30 and now lives in San Diego. My boys are the greatest loves of my life. Hubby, me and our two "Pups", Skye and Zeva, two adorable Chiweenies we rescued in 2012, all live very happily in a tiny coastal town in Massachusetts. We lost our dear "Scoutie", a Purebred Dachshund, in April of 2015. I still miss him and will forever cherish his memory. I am an avid card-maker and totally love every minute I can spend in my craft room. It's become my passion, a wonderful way to relax and is my form or "therapy".
