What will you be doing tomorrow to celebrate OUR day?
I'll be making cards of course! I'm having a few ladies over for a class (and hopefully some sales, but I wont use that to take advantage of it of course!) and then after they're gone, I'll be working with LV (my 11 yr. old DD)...that's if she doesn't blow me off for Ryan's football game (her "boyfriend"). I'm kind of on the fence about that one, make cards or go to Ryan's football game...lol. I think cardmaking outweighs the football game, but his mom is very sweet. Hopefully we can all sit together (at least in spirit with each other) and make cards!
A bit about the Cardmaking day and a Thank You from Stampin' Up!

So with that said, go and have yourself a fun cardmaking day!
This card I made first with te ladies that came for a stamping class. We were first gonna work on some Halloween cards, but when they saw a previous card I made, the instantly fell in love with this card. They waited patiently to make their card because I only have one set...lol. It was nice to see them share. When one finished the first stamped image, she passed on the stamp and pad to the next. They were really happy with their cards and wished that Stampin' Up hadn't retired it. I know what they mean! I probably would have more sells with this set. This is also a card I'm gonna be sending to the Dunn family. Inside I'm gonna type up a verse from the bible before I send it off. I'll be reading thru my bible tonight to see what fits. I'm sending it off Monday, so I hope I can find something fitting.
This card I made second. It's for the Dunn twins from the post below. I made it with lots of love and care. I used Priceless as seeing their little faces on their parents site and being so brave is priceless. You can read about it at the links I've provided below. Please take some time out to send this courageous family a card filled with well wishes for the girls and just a hello to let them know we are behind them and praying not only for the girls, but for them in general.
I made this card last since it's for a swap that doesn't close yet. It was a challenge to use only black & white with NO accent color! I went to the old reliable....Baroque Motifs! I know, I'm gonna wear this set out to the wood! I may have to hide it well so I can leave it alone for a bit...lol.

I'm all about making cards for a cause, so this is one I couldn't pass up. Tomorrow as you're making cards on National Cardmaking Day, think about this: "There is something about sending a card, especially a handmade card, that brings something special and warm to the recepients heart". So please go to the following link to read about a very special cause ~
