June 2025 Card Chain Challenge Reveal

 Today's the day all of the cards sent around the world in June are revealed over at the Card Chain Challenge.  I've missed the past two months because of my shoulder surgery - but I'm back and crafting to participate in the June Challenge.

This month I received a card from Dagmara in Poland and I sent this card to Linda in Michigan!

I used the suggested themes of Gingham and Friendship on my card.

    You used the gingham option - thank goodness, I thought I was being so clever picking that as an option but so few entrants have used it. LOVE the sheep! Your card is a total delight and I do hope you're in less pain with your shoulder now. Thanks for being a link in our chain again, Jo x

    Bwahaha, that is laugh-out-loud funny, sis! It reminds me of an old wooden stamp I had (maybe still do) that says, "I hope my ship comes in before my dock rots." Such clever folks out there and some very clever card artists like you! I'm sure you made Linda's day! Thank you for inspiring everyone to use their NBUS! Hugs, Darnell
