Hi Alli,
I definitely plan to make cards on WCMD! I did it last year and had soooo much fun!
I made a card recently for a lady on a bulletin board that I frequent. I hope she likes it! :)
I was definitely planning on participating, it looks like fun.
The last card I made was for a little boy that turned 3. It was totally cute.
Thanks for the opportunity to win this AWESOME blog candy!!!
Ooooh, I am definitely participating! I am making a card for my best friend whose mother is ill and I want her to know I'm thinking of her. Thank you!

Thanks for the chance to win ... I am certainly planning to make some cards WCMD ... I recently created a card for my Gran.
I always plan to start my Hallowe'en cards on Oct. 1st so I'm sure that I'll be "in the groove" by the weekend.
I'm going to participate and make some cards for WCMD, sounds like fun.
The last card I made was a thank you note for a friend who treated me to dinner.
Hi, the last card I made for someone was for my 4 month old niece for her baptism. Since she can't read a made a 1 layer card. LOL.
I definitely will make cards on WCMD. I mean it's a day that ends in Y right?
I'll be participating on WCMD ... don't want to miss all the fun! The last card I made for someone was a sympthy card for a co-worker who had recently lost her mother.
I recently created a card for a friend who suffered a stroke and he was only 68. I will be celebrating WCD but not on the day. I will be traveling to my daughters on that day to help her out with her new stamping business and we have plans to make at least 50 cards the week I am there, so that is our celebration!! Do you think I will get tired? I have wanted Wise Owls ever since you introduced it Ally and I would love to win it. Thank you for the chance.

I made a card for someone who had a baby boy recently... and plan to make some November birthday cards on WCMD!
Yes I plan to participate on WCMD! Can't wait for all the fun next week. The last card I maid was for my son's babysitter.
The last card I made was a thank you card for a wonderfully generous couple. They took my husband and I out on their boat with them and then had us over for a spectacular dinner. AND the wife is teaching me how to sew!!! I would like to get some Christmas cards started on WCMD! The owls would be SUCH a neat way to win! I LOVe that set!
i'm currently making thank you cards to send to contributors to my Susan G. Komen fundraising... i made 12 today! i probably won't participate in any formal CMD events; it's hunting season so i'll be in the woods - but i often bring crafts with me to do during our siesta time ;)
Yes, I'd like to participate in WCMD! The last card I made was for a friend's birthday and for her wedding.
I plan to make cards all day on WCMD!
The last card I made was a thnk you to a dear friend who listened and then listened some more when I was in a bad place. She really is a wise owl
I recently made a card for a lovely new friend of mine, and hope to post it soon! :)
I do hope to join WCMD! :) Thanks!
Well, WOW!! Thanks Alli! I wanted to get together with friends and do a ShoeBox Swap, but it's our town's Homecoming Weekend! And big doings! :( So no WCMD, however my friend and I just got crafty today. I mass produced cards for stamp club. I think tho, the last person I made a card for was her for her birthday!
Yep, I plan on participating.
I've made a few cards lately. Several birthdays, a thinking of you, several thank you's and a couple Autumn ones!
Thanks for the chance... I've been drooling over the owls !
I just made a birthday card for my SIL and mailed it yesterday. I will not be able to participate in WCMD this year, but it is because I will be walking 39 miles in the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer. Have fun and I'll catch up with the events on Monday, the 6th, and have my own Card Making Day!
I made a card for my mother, who is a breast cancer survivor, using the Causabella image I received in a recent card kit swap. I have never participated in WCMD before as I am new to the craft, but I look forward to learning more about it.
Today I made a card for my daughter's 1st Birthday. :]
I'm participating in WCMD! You gotta be crazy not to, haha!
I am going in to have my second child [yes, my kids will be a year apart..] on October 3rd so if I win, it'll be a few days before I can get you my information.. Thanks for the chance to win!
I'm going to be making some cards with friends on that day, and we'll be learning some new techniques. The last card I made was for my sister's birthday. Thanks.
I definitely plan on participating in WCMD! I am going to set aside a couple that day to pull out some of my uninked stamps and show them some love.
As for who I have made a crd for lately, I am currently in the process of making a folder full of cards for my aunt's 50th birthday. I really hope she will love it as much as I have enjoyed making it!
I will probably make a card on WCMD. The last card I made was for GSS October over at PTI. I make cards almost everyday.
The last cards I made were birthday cards for the staff at the store that I work at. I will try to participate in WCMD but I work that day. So we'll see if I can fit in some cardmakimg.
I will be participating in WCMD. The most recent card I made was the one for Cammie's contest (MyBlog). The cards were made to thank a caregiver that is caring for a person with Alzheimer's disease.
The last card i made or shall I say cards is for My daughters first birthday invites. I love it all pink and girl but somewhat asian inspired. I love it.
I do plan on doing something for WCD
Although my son's birthday party is that day (what was I thinking?!) I do plan on participating around it - probably mainly over at SCS. The last card I made was an anniversary card for a friend. Thanks for the chance to win!
I've been creating Halloween cards that I think are turning out pretty cute.
I'm investigating WCMD and trying to decide.
Thanks for the opportunity

I'm so excited about this years WCMD! I plan on doing pretty much nothing all day except making cards! I recently made a card for Cammie's challenge for Alzheimers and I will be making one today (hopefully) for a friend/coworker who lost her mother in law.
I am so excited every year as I plan to make cards on WCMD. My hubby just rolls his eyes because really isn't every day WCMD around here. *lol* Anyway the most recent cards that went out (friday) were for encouragement. 2 for caregivers, 2 for friends with cancer, 1 for a little boy in the hospital and 1 for his momma. (The little boy and his mom I've never met but have been sending them cards for the past few months during his difficult illness.) Oh I just love this calling ... to make cards and send them with love and prayers. It's a blessing to me and to others as well. I draw inspiration from your blog and a few others ... I am so thankful to my fellow cardmakers! Thanks too for a chance to win such a great package. *bouncin with excitement chanting pick me - pick me*
Yes, I do plan on participating! The last card I made was a birthday card for one of my first grade students.
Yes, I do plan to participate in WCMD. This is my first time hearing about this so I am really excited!
The last card I made was for my mom as a way to say thank you for all she has done.
I have been making thank you cards recently, as I had a baby a couple weeks ago and received several gifts. I do plan on participating in WCMD. I participated last year and even won a couple giveaways!
I'm teaching a cardmaking class for WCMD and have been making card samples for that class. It's gonna be so much fun!
Wow!!! This sounds like a lot of fun. I certainly hope to be able to participate.
I just made a few cards the one card that was made for a purpose other than just using my stamps was for the Alzheimer's day. The candy Cammie was giving away. I sent it to the staff of the home her grandmother was at.
Hi Alli,
I definitely plan to participate in WCMD although I'll be creating by myself at home! The last card I sent out was a sympathy card to a friend who lost her mother-in-law. I love you wise owl set, so cute!
Melissa
hi Alli, last card I made was a Christmas card for an order I have for Christmas, and I hope to take part in WCMD, hopefully, if im in that day I certainly will try my best :) x
I hope to make a card or two on this day. The last 5 cards I made were last night -- my 2 kids had 4 birhtday parties and one thank you card to make. My oldest son would like me just to buy cards like veryone else, but this time when I asked him if the cards were ok he said that they were fine and that everyone just knows his mom does that -- he has given in to his fate of never having a store bought cards to take to a bday :-)
sarahjane
I want to participate but will be traveling to VA to visit family. I hope to bring my stamping stuff along with me!
The last cards I made were a few halloween cards. I didn't want to let the holiday come upon me without making some, even though I don't know how many I will actually send out. I will most likely do treats instead.
I do plan on participating this year! I recently made a card for my twin sister!!
I just made a card today for my BF's son who turned 2. I would LOVE to participate in WCMD however I am in another friends wedding so sadly my WCMD adventures will have to be postponed until sunday instead!
WCMD rocks!! I am having a craft weekend away with some girl friends and we are going to participate from there. I am an owl nut right now so no better one for me to participate in! Thanks for the opportunity!
Cathy Dafoe
The last card I made was for a friend who is finally pregnant after a year and a half of trying. Unfortunately, I will not be able to participate in WCMD this year, because I am in a wedding Saturday. My in-laws have planned a card-making day for the 18th, however.
Hey ALi!
I love your simple elegant cards and Scrap-booking.
I will be at a Scrap-retreat on World Card making day! I am so excited to scrap. I will be making a card as part of our workshop. I am sure the ladies will have a fun time.
OH! the Last card I made was for my Brother we have the same Birthday. Can't wait to give it to him on Oct 2.
wall-to-wallkids@mail.com
I just made a card for my neice's birthday. I'll be at CKC Hartford so what better place to celebrate WCMD!
Yes, i plan on spending at least part of the day stampin inbetween running to the arena for hockey. The last card i made was a sympathy card for a fellow hockey family whose mom/wife passed away suddenly.
I am planning on making cards that day, I need to get started on my Christmas cards. The last card I made and sent out was for my husband's niece. It was her 18th birthday.
I will be working at my LSS teaching classes and doing make-n-takes that day. Should be fun!
The last card I made was for my in-laws wedding anniversary-she is a stamper and appreciates handmade ones! :)
The last card I made was for a co-worker's baby shower this coming Wednesday. I do plan to participate in WCMD by inviting my fellow-card maker friend Karen over to make some Christmas cards as we haven't started yet and it will be here before you know it!
The last card I made was last night at a stamp party that I led. I plan on giving it to a friend who is having a birthday this month. And yes, I will be participating in WCMD. I will be at a Stampin' Up! Half Day Regional meeting here in Winnipeg. I am really looking forward to stamping that afternoon! By the way, I absolutely LOVE the Wise Owl sets you designed.
My lastest card was for my mother, who is retiring today! And of course I will be observing WCMD ;)
I will definitely be celebrating with everybody - as I finally have a free weekend! The last card, a wedding card, I made was for my friend who just go married this past weekend.
My latest card is for my friend that is taking her massage license exam. I hope I can make a card on WCMD, but we have family in town, so I may have to delay it one day! :)
I most recently made a card for my good friend whose little baby boy is going through chemo - he is only 6 months old! I try to send her "I'm thinking of you cards" every couple of weeks for some support across the miles. Unfortunately I am unable to participate this year, but will next year! Love all your work, thanks for the inspiration!
My most recent card was a thank you for a 3-Day Walk donation. Now that I've completed the 60 mile walk for 2008 I have lots more thank you cards to make and will be using this Saturday as the perfect day to get them done.
Teresa
Definitely participating in WCMD, our local Scrapbook store is raising money and I want to contibute! My most recent cards I made are all for Christmas, I vowed to give handmade cards this year! Wish me luck!
I plan on participating in WCMD! Nothing better than spending the day creating!
The last card I made was a Halloween card for my mom - all black and spooky..mostly Cuttlebugged but it turned out so cute!
WCMD? Awesome! This is the first I've heard of it, Thanks for the exciting info. I will spend a few hours between planned events Saturday participating in WCMD. The last card I made was actually a bunch of Thankyous for a teacher friend of mine to give out to people who help her class.
Thanks for a chance to win and Happy WCMD!
Catherine M.
my most recent card was for a birthday party on Sunday. my wcmd event is actually a club for the big shot.
I definitely plan on participating in world card making day and I have made several cards recently that I actually gave away!! I love it when I actually do that. My boss's birthday was at the end of August, my friend's birthday was mid-September and I did a card for Cammie's challenge for World Alzheimer's day!
Thanks for the constant inspiration - I love your blog and visit often!!
I have no plans for WCMD yet, so sad!!! :-( I hope something comes up! :-)
I am participating in WCMD; this is my first year to do so. I am making a card for a blogger whose mother is ill plus I plan on making many more for the assisted living center down the block.
I am sooo HOPING to participate!
I recently made 3 congratulations
on your pregnancy cards for 3 girls at work. Thanks for the chance to win a copy of this mag!!!

Hi Alli!
I recently made a card for my Mom, but I can't find it anywhere! I finished it just before she got home, stashed it in my Stampin' Up! Catalog, then took it out of the catalog so she could look through the catalog, and I haven't seen it since! I have looked high and low... I know I'll find it eventualy, probably exactly when she could use an encouaraging card! I'll be participating as much as possible, but we are having my daughter's first birthday party so I'm not sure how much!
I recently made a card for my best friend who's expecting her first baby any time now. As she kept it a secret wether it's a boy or a girl, I made 2 cards.
I didn't plan anything on Saturday, so I hope to make a lot of cards on WCMD.
Thanks for a chance to win! Greetings from Belgium, Annelies
My most recent card was for a very good friend on his 34th birthday!
Thanks for the chance to win! (I love wise owl and the bellies!)
Allison
I would love to win some goodies! The last card I created was for a 3rd birthday boy. I have a 1st birthday coming, so the magazine would be fun use for sample ideas. Thanks Alli!
I made some "Thank You" cards to give as a gift to my friend. I'm hoping to participate in WCMD, but the crew around here (I have 7 kids) may not be cooperative. I'm sure I can steal some time, though.

The last card I made was a 'hello' card for a friend. And I am spending WCMD stamping up a storm with friends.
I am definitely going to try and participate in as many WCMD events as I can, but we have a wedding to go to that day, so I'll have to squeeze everything in! Today I made a card for their wedding and also a Christmas card for my stash.
The last card that I made was a thank you card for the innkeepers of a wonderful Scrapbooking Bed and Breakfast where I recently stayed. I am going to make Thank You cards for my daughter for WCMD. She is getting married in November.
This is the first year I've heard of WCMD, but Oct 4th is my bf and his twin sister's b-day, and my niece's b-day as well so I have plenty of cards to make that day. Thanks for the chance to win! :-)
I am definately participating in WCMD- my LSS has some fun stuff going on so I will definately be checking that out. My most recent card I gave away was to Jewels for her birthday
I won't be able to participate much in WCMD because I have to work all day but hopefully I can participate a little. I made a birthday card last night for a friend. I would love to win the Papertrey owl sets. I don't have those yet.
the most recent card i made was for my twin sister who just had a baby!! And yes i plan on participating in WCMD! Thanks for a chance to win!
Not that we need a reason to stamp but isn't it great to know that stampers all over the world will be stamping at the same time on the same day. I love it and so look forward to tomorrow.
Debbie/Phx AZ
I made a card for a MB friend's birhday this last week. I love making cards for other card-makers because they love seeing the work and detail that we all put into them.
I plan on working on my Halloween cards on the 4th.
Love cardmaking- I have 5 to make this weekend. TFS this chance at a gift!
The last card I made was for a baby shower, and I finally got to use my Bitty Baby Blessings. I need to post this card in my gallery on PTI. Thanks for giving us an opportunity to win such a terrific magazine. Alice
I just made a 50th anniversary card for a friend's parents who are like family to me!
I will make a card, but am unsure I will have a chance to participate in any functions on Card Day!
Thanks for the chance to win & share.
Emily
I just made a card for our new neighbors who are getting married this weekend! I used the Cherish stamp from SU Illumination set and the polished stone paper I made a while back. Looks quite lovely. With regards to WCMD, I'll be stamping with friends tomorrow night! BTW, I'm a Vancouver Island gal too! Born and raised in Comox! Moved to New Brunswick last year, but will always be a BC girl! Thanks for the great blog and all the time you put into it...the inspiration is wonderful!
Love your work and stamps! Thanks for the chance to play. Just made a card and gave it to a friend today as a Thank You for helping me get our little one to school because our car has been in the shop.
I made a card tonight for some DT work. I'm going to a crop tomorrow so planning to make some card for the big Card holiday!
My mom and I will be making cards together for the first time tomorrow :)
The most recent card I made was for my dad's birthday coming up next Tuesday.
I'm definitely celebrating WCMD! I have tons of cards to make for my family and friends who were such gracious hosts/hostesses during our recent vacation. This is my first time to celebrate WCMD (I'm pretty new at cardmaking) and I'm so excited!
Woohoo! World Card Making Day is finally here. I will be participating in the challenges on the Splitcoast Stampers Website along with several others from manufacturers blogs.
The last card I made: Holiday card for sketch challenge. Plan to send it to our troops for Christmas.
Have a wonderful card making day!

Hi Alli,
I made a card for my dh's grandmother's birthday this week. Tonight I am hoping to play with some new stamps and get a few upcoming birthday cards out of the way. :) Have a great day! Love your cards. :)
Sara
I hope to make a start on my Christmas cards today but this blog hopping is taking a lot of time! The last card I made was for my Mums birthday - she always appreciates me cards!
Karen W
I am currently creating Halloween cards for my nephews and of course a cute one for my daughter. I plan on hopping around today and enjoying the inspiration.
I have been making Halloween, birthday and thank-you cards lately. I can't believe the number of birthday cards that I have needed lately! Unfortunately, I won't be able to participate in WCMD today, but stamped up a storm yesterday to make up for it!
The very last card I made was a Thinking of You card. I'm embarrassed to say that I made 53 of them for a nursing home. But wait! In honor of WCMD I cut a whole lotta card stock for the make and takes I'm giving away at my Open House (for beginner and experienced stampers) today. No, I'm not a demonstrator either, just celebrating WCMD.
The last card I made was a Thinking of You card for my cousin - she and her husband have had several friends die this summer and Wednesday they heard that a very very dear friend has cancer. She needed a long distance HUG. I will be making Birthday cards today, but probably won't submit the cards I make - I'll just gather inspiration.
I am a card angel...I heard about this program a long time ago from heartfelt greetings and signed right up. I am a chemo angel and a senior angel and I send them cards each week. I just sent off two creations this morning! Thanks so much! Lisa K in TX
Definitely creating cards today. I'm working on Halloween cards. The last card I made was a beach themed card for friends. We had spent a day playing at the beach together and I had to say thanks for the memories.
Happy WCMD!! My last card was for a baby shower, and the cards I'm making today are for another baby shower and a birthday! Would love to get the great nieces and nephews Halloween cards made today, also!
Love your cards with Kim's stamps!
betty.chet@gmail.com
I will definitely be creating cards today. Actually this comes at a great time for me because I am going to be late with a few cards if I don't get them done today.
The last card I created was for my parents' 55th wedding anniversary. Thanks for the chance to win some awesome blog candy.
I made a card for my sister as well as one for my sister in law, but today I will be making a card for Gina K, a card for Caroly King, and some other ones! Thanks so much!!!
Angie
The last card I made was for my parents Wedding Anniversay.
I definately am going to participate in WCMD. Right now I'm doing the blog hop & this afternoon & plan to spend creating cards.
Last card I made was for my grandma. Just a cute little "hello" card. Right before that was my son's birthday.
For WCMD I will soak up tons of inspriation, but my crafting time is often limited by my 10 month old and 3 year old.
I just made a card for my grandmother for her birthday. I'll be making cards later today!
I recently put together the card kit from CTMH that was available in August, and send one of the cards to a friend for her birthday. I'm hoping to make some cards today, if I can get away from the computer!
I am planning to finish my birthday cards for the month. I hope to get that done, because I also want to make some thank you cards to thank some ladies who've recently helped me out.
I have a handful of RAK's I want to finish up and get in the mail. My last one was for a mom at my son's preschool that just had a baby girl.
Happy World Card Making Day! :-)
Hugs, Renee
My last project was a stationary set for a friend as a gift, her birthday was on Sept 27.
Happy WCMD!!!

I made a bunch of cards for the troops and I also ran a World Card Making Day event on a small scrapbooking website....lots of fun!
My last card was a sketch for our first Sisterhood of the Blogging Stampers Group 22 & was really fun! I was unable to participate in WCMD today as we took lunch into a friend's house because he's unable to get out since surgery. It was a nice day & I'm hoping I can still do some of the fun stuff into tomorrow for WCMD!
I've got my eye on the Owls set for a future purchase! ;-)
The last card I made was for son~with a skull and crossbones stamped and then filled in with dimentional white Scribbles paint~it was fun!
Thanks for the great giveaway...very generous!
