Happy Labor Day, America (and a good ol' regular Monday to all the rest of ya)!
Because this year the holiday falls on the first of this month, I've decided to post the August Card Chain Challenge Reveal tomorrow and the Sign Up today.
(If you're unfamiliar with this card exchange challenge, I've got a brief explanation near the bottom of this post or you can check out the Rules and FAQ's.)
If this is your first time here, I hope you'll sign up and join in the fun... like our latest player Becca did. Becca is our first North Dakotan! Give it up for Becca and the great state of North Dakota! (South Dakota, where are you?!) Our participants now include cardmakers from 34 of the 50 United States and 25 countries.
Is that cool or what?

About this challenge. This is an international card exchange - you send a handmade card to the person above you on the list, and you receive one from the person below you on the list. If that's not enough of a win-win, I also randomly draw a prize winner each month. I do a reveal of all the cards with links to the challenge participants' blogs or online photo galleries - which is a great way for you to get new visitors. Please read the Rules and FAQ's if you want to play along. :~D
See example. If you want to see a past CCC reveal, go here.
Total cards exchanged as of August 1, 2014: 1,403.
Missed signing up last month, so I'm first for Sept! Thanks for keeping this going, Deborah--so much fun to know happy mail will be coming!
