Happy World Card Making Day!
Celebrated on the first Saturday of October each year, World Card Making Day encourages everyone to create greeting cards for any occasion! The best gifts come from the heart and what better way to show you care than creating your own handmade masterpiece?!
While you're making cards, why not add one to the SAS4Kids October challenge? You have until Friday, November 1, to upload any kiddie-appropriate card. All the details are under the challenge tabs.
We hope to see your handmade card there!

Summer is almost here!
Ah, sweet summertime! Time for gardening, cookouts, and fun times with family and friends.
If you find yourself stuck inside due to rain, cicadas, or hiding from the heat, consider joining our monthly challenges! They start on the first Saturday of the month. This May we are celebrating fathers, dads, pops, grandfathers, father-figures, and step- and foster-fathers. Next month focuses on cards for tweens and/or teens, and July features Holiday cards! Any child-friendly card can be shared, so grab your supplies, ink up your stamps, and join the fun! Guidelines and instructions to link your card are in the Challenge Rules Tab. Check out our other entries on the Challenge page. Hope to see your card there, too!
Have a safe and happy summer!
