Card Chain Challenge for March

For Deborah's Card Chain Challenge for the month of March, Joy Ott (dustypenny) was my recipient and here's the card that I sent her. I used tomboy Audrey again, along with the kid's quote stamps from Inkadinkado, and the color combo that Deborah suggested.

And here's what I received in the mail from Heather Doran (heathermaria)--all the way from Ireland! I received some bonus goodies from her, too. An ATC with so much detail on it, some stamped images, and some paper punched butterflies in sweet, springy colors!

Thank you Heather! I love Deborah's CCCs. It's always fun to see where your card will be coming from.

Visit her blog on the first of each month to view the chain and sign up by the end of the month for the following CCC.

And you have one more day to leave a comment here to be eligible in a random drawing of my giveaway prize of some sticky back canvas together with the Hero Arts Dot background cling stamp! Good luck!

February Card Chain Challenge

I participated in February's Card Chain Challenges hosted by Deborah. When you first sign up, you don't know who'll be your recipient or who you'll be sending a card to and it's always fun when you find out.

Here's my card that went to Yvette, all the way to Belgium!

All stamps by Hero Arts

I was thrilled when I found out I would be Kelly's recipient and she didn't disappoint me with this adorable card.

Anyone who receives a card from Kelly is so lucky!

Her coloring and attention to detail is amazing...

I'm equally excited because in a couple of weeks, I'm going to meet Kelly and her hubby in Las Vegas! She'll be passing through on her way to Arizona for her birthday and we'll finally get to meet in person...I just can't wait!

Go here to see the other fabulous cards that were sent worldwide and join the fun in an upcoming CCC.

My first CCC

I've been lurking Deborah's Card Chain Challenge for several months and finally decided to play along. After signing up, you create a card and send it to an assigned participant, and your "link" is doing the same. You have the choice of a card sketch, color palette, or a theme.

Dawn Turley of New Zealand, sent me a parcel full of goodies. Not only did she send a card, but she included a bookmark, tags, and some backgrounds made with alcohol inks. And she used some Pure Innocence images, too! Thanks so much, Dawn.... it felt like Christmas!

I decided to go with colors and sent this card off to Susan McRae in Canada. I used the Pure Innocence garden girl together with the new sentiment set from Hero Arts. Love that font! And you can't go wrong with Cosmo Cricket papers....

Check out Deborah's blog to see all of the "chains" in her January CCC. It's fun to see where a card came from and where it went. Thanks, Deborah! I'm looking forward to the next CCC!
