World Card Making Day - Odd Bird Planet style.

Yay! It's here. Have you made a card yet? Here's something that might help you get inspired.

Some of the Odd Bird Planet DT members will be holding a challenge/blog hop. You will have 24 hours to complete any or all of challenges and post your take on the challenge(s) on your blog, then post the link on the blog of the person who posted that challenge.

You can also share chatter and your completed projects at Odd Bird Planeteer's Flickr Group.

So, what do you get for completing a challenge, other than the satisfaction of creating a great new project?

Each completed challenge will earn you an entry to win an A La Tarte Halloween kit, which contains cardstock, patterned paper, embellishments, a chipboard book, and the OBP Bat Gate stamp.

International people who complete challenges can win a $50 Gift Certificate to the OBP Store. Not bad eh?

Here's the list of blogs to visit to find out about challenges:

My challenge is POLKA DOT PINK. Here's my card:



I love pink and I love polka dots, so I'd love to see what you can come up with combining the two. You don't necessarily need to have pink polka dots, just something pink and something dotty on your card. Once you've made your card, post it to your blog, leave me a comment here at this post linking to your card. You have until 6am Sunday 4th October (PDT) to complete any or all of the challenges. Then stay tuned to find out who the winner is.


I used Lady with Handkerchief and Ooh la la images from Odd Bird Planet. I can't wait to see your creations!

World Card Making Day

Yay! It's almost here! Click on the logo below to learn more about this wonderful international celebration:
This Saturday is the day that card makers from all over the world will be celebrating the joy of creating and giving handmade cards. Here's one of the cards I made for this event:



I love the colours on these papers by Cosmo Cricket!

If you make a card, you can upload it to the WCMD gallery to share in the worldwide celebration. You'll be eligible to win a prize on both the Paper Crafts Connection blog and the Moxie Fab World blog.

You can even enter the WCMD contest in which you have a chance to be published in the March/April 2010 issue of Paper Crafts magazine.

If you're lacking inspiration to make your own card, I'd like to point you in the direction of the WCMD Blog Tour in which you can not only see 25 more cards made specifically for WCMD, but you can also get a coupon code for 25% off your entire purchase on the online store.

Tune in to the Moxie Fab World blog each day of this week to see more cards from different regions of the world and to have an opportunity to comment-to-win a different prize each day. Comments will close at midnight on Sunday, October 4 at midnight (no matter where you live.) Prize-winners will be announced on Tuesday, October 6. The prizes will be shipped directly from the manufacturers. All international comments will be honored. The prizes that will be offered each day can be seen on the Moxie Fab World blog.

So, leave me a comment here on my blog, then go to the Moxie Fab World blog and leave a comment there as well. You will have an opportunity to see one of my projects, as well as links to the blogs of the other participants, which will give you even more chances to be inspired (and to win!).

Above all, have a wonderful World Card Making Day!
