World Card Making Day 2012 Winner Blog Hop!

Hi everyone!

Welcome to the World Card Making Day 2012 Winner Blog Hop!


The winners of last year's Paper Crafts World Card Making Contest are hopping along to celebrate World Card Making Day (one day early). ;) We're all making cards in the categories in which we won. I won in the LOVE category. :) When I found out which of my cards won I was shocked. It was my least favorite of all the cards I sent in, was a previous Paper Crafts call reject, and I almost didn't include it in my package! When I asked Susan R. Opel why they chose it she said that it was trendy (washi tape and subway art), used non-traditional colors, and would make a good masculine card. All that to say don't be afraid to send in cards you don't think are good enough or that you think might be too outside the box. :)

Here's my card for today:
