The Card Chain Challenge participants have exchanged 3000 cards since it began a little over ten years ago. Jo and Gail have asked those of us who have ever joined in to post the first card we sent. I remember I started my Flickr photostream precisely so I could join in this challenge. I'm not sure if this is the first card I sent but it's the oldest one I have in my photostream.
In September 2010, I sent this card to Lin Brandyberry. Don't know what the particular theme was but I knew Lin was a quilter so made a patchwork background with paper actually stitched. Those were real leaves that I preserved by coating them with glossy accents.
Gail and Jo have also asked us to post some of our favorite cards that we've sent over the years. Here are a few of mine:
If you want to join in a fun challenge where all you have to do is send a card and as a bonus meet new friends from all over the world, go to the Card Chain Challenge and sign up for July.
Thanks for stopping by.
A wonderful set of cards and I am very proud to have been in receipt of one of them xx
ReplyDeleteFabulous array of cards Betty.
ReplyDeleteYou make such fabulous cards, Betty--starting in the beginning! The pink C&9 card might be my favorite of these--love it! Pinning it so maybe I'll finally use that stamp set! When I looked back at ones I'd sent, I had trouble finding one I really liked even though I thought they were OK at the time.
ReplyDeleteA lovely selections of cards Betty - I see you like florals too and am very happy to have received one of your favs... great CCC fun this month, hugs and stay safe Robyn
