Hi everyone
It has been hard work keeping up with everything this week. My (what seems like a) mammoth wedding stationery order is taking on even bigger proportions! Two steps forward and one step back and the wedding is on Saturday! I keep telling myself that this time next week, everything will be done and dusted and I can get some semblance of normality back into my life. As if!
However, my post today (which will also be taking part in Caroline's UK Handmade Thursday blog hop) is about the World Card-Making Day competition I am running via my blog. I have been lucky enough to get a sponsor for the competition and they have kindly donated three prizes. A big thank you to Katherine Jewitt, the Editor of new magazine Make and Craft - the first edition of this magazine is due out very soon. I have subscribed to a digital version of the magazine because I felt that it would be good to have online access to it always as I spend an incredible amount of time super-glued to my computer. Plus, so much easier for me to store than a paper version. However, both are available and the subscriptions rates are great value - have a look here for the details and you can even try three copies for £1 of the digital version to see if you like the magazine. I promise you, you will.
The theme for the World Card-Making Day competition is floral - absolutely anything to do with flowers. It could be something made of flowers, flowers you have photographed, painted or decoupaged or perhaps like one beautiful card I have already received photographs of, a quilled design. It is beautiful and I really wish I could create something like that. The photograph(s) of your card need to be with me no later than Wednesday, 3 October please and once the judging has taken place, contact details will be passed to Katherine and she will arrange for the prizes to be mailed to the winners. All cards will be posted on my blog on Saturday, 6 October and I will be asking for everyone to vote for their favourite three. Prizes will go to the top three.
Some of my guest bloggers have created beautiful cards and I am hoping they will take part in the competition. In the UK we send more cards than any other country in Europe - so let's keep it going by designing beautiful and original handmade cards.

I read your last post and thought I must get my hands on the Make and Craft mag. It's not out yet, that's why I couldn't get a copy today, silly me! I'm tempted to have a go at you card comp, I've never made one but can make flowers. Glad to hear by Saturday you may have some breathing space, although I do think that wedding will bring more orders :) Enjoy the rest of your week.
