May, '15, Card Chain Challenge Sign-Up

Welcome to the Card Chain Challenge - a nice little card exchange where you send a card to the person above you on the list and receive a card from the person below you! (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 players Patti and Toni did. (Give it up for the Newbies - woot, woot!)

I also want to give a shout-out to Monika as it's been awhile since we've seen her - welcome back, Mo! (BTW, Monika is giving away a $25 GC that is good for a variety of stores - including Simon Says Stamp - at her blog this month, so check it out!)

 

This Month's Sponsor

Well, I was too busy to reach out and get any sponsors the last two challenges, and this one is no different - lol! I've accepted the fact that until this crazy-busy term is finished, I will have to be my own sponsor. I did Stampendous, then Stamping Bella, and now, how about a little... Echo Park?

 

 

 

This is the Simple Life clear stamp set - made in the USA. If your card arrives by May 31, you'll be eligible to win this month's prize (selected by random draw)!

Make a card using at least one of the following four options. (You can actually use two, three, or all four options, but you are only required to use one of them.)

These colors are your guideline - exact matching is not necessary.

You can orient this sketch in any direction and/or flip it.

*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 increase exposure to your blog or photo gallery!. Please read the Rules and FAQ's if you want to play along. :~D

See a past CCC reveal.
