Happy World Card Making Day!



It's World Card Making Day......I'm sure all around the World, cutters are cutting, embossers are embossing, glue is gluing and crafters are smiling!  I know in my world that's what is happening.  And I know that in the  Poppystamps world there is much celebrating and this card is what I made.

The theme of the Poppystamps blog hop is friendship....now what does this card say about friendship?  I'll tell you....The Charming Stars die, signifies the four directions on a compass.  Through my blog posts, I've met people from around the world.  Most I've met, through their posts.   Through our comments back and forth, I feel a bond of friendship.  Over the past years I've shared the births of children and grandchildren, marriages, sickness and even the sadness of death.  I've also learned about different cultures through the cards others made.  So today we celebrate with the talented people from around the world who put a little of themselves in each card they create.

My design team friends at Poppystamps are celebrating in a big way.  We are having a blog hop.  If you are following along on the blog hop, you should have found me by visiting Lezlye Lauterbach  If this is your first stop along this World Card Making Day hop, and you want to start from the beginning, hop over to the Poppystamps Blog page.  You can find out all about the hop and the prizes, you heard me p-r-i-z-e-s......we all like that word don't we!  I know I sure do!

This card was made from bits and pieces, well mostly.  The sparkly white pieces are what fell from the white sparkly frame I'd cut earlier.  and the red inside is a snippet...


Trust me, it wasn't originally meant to be a snippet, but when I was die cutting, I didn't have the paper lined up properly and the top was cut off.  So, I made lemonade from the oops moment.  I really think this was a happy accident. 

Before I say thanks for visiting my blog page and I say goodbye for today, I want to tell you the next stop on this World Card Making Day blog hop is Michele Henderson.  Hop on over to visit Michele and don't forget to comment on this post, who knows....maybe you'll win!

Happy Crafting.....and Hugs from my side of the world! And a MOST HAPPY WORLD CARD MAKING DAY!
