Hello, friend ...

Hi friends!  

I hope it's a beautiful day wherever you are in the world ♥

One of the fondest memories I have of childhood
 is receiving a card or letter ...  in the mail!

The snail mail, tiny piece of paper goodness in the mailbox

still brings me great joy to see a card arrive :)

Naturally, when I came across a card chain 

challenge/exchange group, I joined right in.

The card group is hosted, Deborah, and

how it works: You take the name on the list above yours, 

create/send a card using the given challenges

 or you can just send one of your own design, it's up to you!

We post our cards when the month is up so the recipient 

has the joy of surprise in the mailbox, 

just like in the days before cellphones and laptops and ipads ♥

And did I mention there are over 30 different countries that

are represented in the card chain?!

Cards from all over - so unique and wonderful.

This month, there was also a few different challenges and I chose 2 of them:

the Color Challenge and the card layout.  

 This color combination is super scrumptious - cobalt, ivory and olive!

 

Soooo different for me!  
Gone are the layers, buttons, 3d dimension!

My card stayed in the USA and traveled over to Taunya in Utah 
and I needed it to be mostly flat for happy travels.

I went really old school with this one and inked up my old
CTMH stamp set, Friendship Flowers.

I'll enter this into CAS on Sunday - Polka Dots
