Welcome back!
As you know, we take a break in December so people can focus on their families and the holiday season. This year I decided to take advantage of that break to adjust the posting schedule so everyone will have a better chance of getting her card to its destination before the end of each month. Download 2015 POSTING SCHEDULE
(If you're unfamiliar with this card exchange challenge, I've got a brief explanation near the bottom of this post, and you can also check out the Rules and FAQ's.)
February's Featured Stamp Company & Prize
If your recipient receives your card by March 1, your name will be entered in a drawing for the Birthday Collage (stamp set AC021) by Hero Arts!
I dearly love Hero Arts, and its Art of the Card series is one of my favorites!

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 to get new traffic. 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 December 1, 2014: 1,483.
