World Card Making Day

Today is World Card Making Day which is celebrated around the world on the first Saturday of October. It is a holiday especially for card makers around the world to celebrate the creativity of handmade cards and the personal connection that they create between friends and family, and to kick off (and get a head start on) the holiday card-making season.

2 Sketches 4 You is teaming up with Scrapbook News & Review on this day. Kazan and Laura have created two special sketches for them which they are using for World Card Making Day. Go check out the 2 Sketches 4 You blog to find about how to participate. There are some great prizes to win.

The 2 Sketches 4 You DT as well as the Scrapbook News & Review designers made cards following either Kazan or Laura's sketch. I had the pleasure to work with Kazan's sketch.

Here's Kazan's sketch.....
