a card a day?

I saw some cards posted in the 2Peas gallery today that were for a "Card-a-Day Challenge." This got me thinking... I know there's a book A Card A Day , but as I'm still new to the whole community aspect of papercrafting, I come across a lot on message boards, galleries, and blogs that I don't understand. Is there a blog out there that has a daily card challenge? That would be fun! Or was it a short-term challenge on a site or blog? I shall have to do some more googling, but I'm definitely thinking it could even be fun to just challenge myself to make one card per day, no matter whether I feel like it or not. That would be a challenge in several respects, but mostly because I usually only craft a few times a week and I often make 2 or 3 cards in one sitting. Hmm... I wonder what the rules of this card-a-day might be...

OK, I'll come back to that sometime after I've done more research and more thinking. Here are the two cards I made this afternoon...

This card has been in my head for ages and I finally got it made! I actually want to try a second one too, with different papers, but I'm not sure I have enough a's to spell out aloha again! My first project with Cosmo Cricket's DeLovely collection, which I LOVE, but am finding difficult to use.

This one is another card using Pink Paislee's Starlight collection. It is approximately lifted from Erin Terrell Clarkson's beautiful creation, but my version is simpler and more streamlined, partially because I just don't have all those gorgeous do-dads like she used! I had a hard time getting the penants to fit, and consequently the blue button isn't centered, which I sort of can't stand but otherwise I'm pleased with this card!


Thanks for stopping by! Enjoy your weekend!
