It’s a gorgeous day here – blue skies, sunshine – and it’s a day to celebrate the happiness that a handmade card can bring to someone’s day. For me, I get as much enjoyment from making cards to give to others as I do receiving cards. The old saying “it’s the thought that counts” really seems to ring true when you keep a certain person in mind and make a card especially for him or her.

This is starting to ramble and not make much sense, and if by now my sister has read this far on her Facebook news feed, her eyes are probably rolling at the thought of World Cardmaking Day (she’s not a papercrafter). So I think I’d better go ahead and get to the card for today. I made it the other night to give my husband, since tomorrow is our 18th wedding anniversary. After all these years he still makes me smile.
