August 2026 Card Chain Challenge Reveal

 Today's the day all of the cards exchanged for the August Card Chain Challenge are revealed!  For August, I sent a card to Linda in MN and received a card from Pia in Norway!

26 cards were exchanged in August.

We are always given options for creating our design -  you only need to use one of the options or you can use several of them!   This month - I used the colors (pretty much accept for the pink), the theme of Elephants (could you guess that??!) and friendship.

I die cut a 2nd base shape for the elephant to be the back of the card  - scored it along the top (about a half inch down) and adhered it to the back side of the front piece.

Have you been thinking you'd like to participate in a Card Chain Challenge?  It's really easy - you sign up on Mr. Linky - you send a card to the person signed up before you and you receive a card from the person signed up after you!  Gail sends everyone the list at the beginning of the month with peoples email addresses so you can request their snail mail addresses.   You'll find all the details for the Sept Card Chain over at The Card Chain Challenge here.
