I was going for the colors but somehow I selected a dark orange for the ginger - not sure why....maybe close enough? Luckily, I also used the sketch and two themes - music and friendship. I tried the music running down the quartet of paper strips but they wanted to pull apart along the bottom of the music staffs when I cut them lengthwise, not good! So I used a piece cut in landscape mode. The golden "hello" came from a Spellbinders kit - love those word stickers they include sometimes! I gold embossed the "friend" on white card and tried to stamp a yellow shadow next to the embossing. Oops, smeared so I colored the whole strip yellow. A matching yellow flower found its way onto the scalloped label too!

My card came from the delightful Joy in Colorado who I've known for years through the Hero Arts group. I just love this black/white beauty with all the yummy patterns!! Thanks for the ribbon too, Joy! 

Thanks to Gail and Jo for their work on the Card Chain! You can still sign up for October - you make and send one card then receive a handmade card from the next person on the chain. Just go HERE by October 6th.

Thanks for stopping & happy crafting!
