February 2010 Card Chain Challenge Results

February's Card Chain Challenge was... a real treat for me. I can't believe the art that was generated this month - I mean, I think you're going to be very, very impressed with what everybody created. Not only was the art fabulous, it was plentiful! We had a total of 31 participants this time, and at least one of them couldn't hop off the Creation Train and ended up sending her recipient six cards!

The countries represented this time include: Australia, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Great Britain, Ireland, Mauritius, New Zealand, Norway, Switzerland, and the United States! Past participants have hailed from Croatia and Japan. (I would really like to get E, F & G represented next time around - I'm shooting for collecting the whole alphabet by the end of the year!)

(If you're new to the Card Chain Challenge ("CCC") this is an event where everybody wins. Basically, you make a card for the person above you on the chain and you receive a card from the person below you on the chain. It's a personalized swap, sort of, and it's a ton of fun! Go here for past Chains and to learn more.)

February had the following challenge options (you could use as many of the following options as you wanted, but you were only required to use one of them):

Color Palette:

 

Template:

 

Theme:

St. Patrick's Day

OR

Sympathy*

OR

Friendship

*About a week after I posted this CCC, I suddenly woke up and realized that asking somebody to send a sympathy card was a liiiiiittle silly. Okay, okay - it was just plain daft! We all know it, so I'm just going to come out and say it. (You know you're all thinking it - or ought to be!)

I got an email from Pia today asking me if she could use that set of cards at her booth at an event she is organising. So there is a ripple on effect from your challenges.
