Happy World Card Making Day!

How are you spending this fun day?
I am celebrating the day in a few different ways, first I shared a trend watch post over at the CLASSroom on pleats. There is some gorgeous blog candy on all the posts over there today, so go leave some love and maybe you will get lucky!! And right now Ellen has so many gorgeous products in the shop that it is easy to be inspired!!
Second, I am going to be spending a little time in my studio playing with the products that I ordered from Ellen last week, new Pink Paislee, 7 Gypsies and Graphic 45 that have been calling my name all week!
Third and lastly, I will be enjoying the evening with my card group! We thought how fun and appropriate it would be to schedule our get together on WCMD so we could enjoy the day together. The theme of tonight's swap is using text and the topic is Thank You cards. I just love the card I made for tonight, lots of layers and it is shimmery!! (gotta love that!) I will share more on how I put it together tomorrow, but thought it would be fun to sneak a peek of it for today  :o)
I just love the idea of this day, spending it creating memorable pieces of you that you will share with others is an amazing concept. It is all about the giving or yourself to others that you love and expressing your creativity while doing so, great stuff!

So my very best to all of you who are spending the day in a similar way, and sharing that connection with each other, it makes us all friends and helps the world become a more beautiful place one card at a time...
