If you're new to the Card Chain Challenge ("CCC") this is an
event where everybody wins. Basically, you make a card for the person above you
on the chain and you receive a card from the person below you on the chain.
It's a personalized swap, sort of, and it's a ton of fun! Go here for
past Chains.
I agree this is one beauty of a reveal! Happy June every one!
