CAS on Friday 124 and Case this Sketch 255

Hi there,

It's Monday and here in my home that is Laundry day and a perfect time to make a few cards. 

CAS on Friday's challenge 124 is Love/Valentine's Day Card

After making my first card I made a second using the same stamp set, 

and followed the sketch from Case this Sketch 255.

Both cards are clean and simple so both will play at CAS on Friday, 

and the second card goes to Case this sketch as well.

 I love these colors, they take me back to my wedding day.

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by.

A New Challenge

Hey There!

I am back from my visit to my Dad's; and I am so excited to play in a brand new challenge brought to blog-land by the witty and engaging Darnell of djkardkreations.   If you have never visited her blog please head over, it will bring a smile to your day.

The new challenge blog is called Twofer Card Challenge.  The challenge premise involves two cards as the name implies...but here is the twist ... both cards must used the same main image based on the challenge prompt.  The cards need to be for two different occasions.   How's that for making us all stretch our stamp inventories? I personally think this is a brilliant challenge and I was so hoping to play from California...but I didn't have anything with me that satisfied the prompt.

Now that I am home, I have 1 single set to use to play.  So on to the challenge!

 

Here are my two cards, as per the rules they must appear together in one photograph.

I have one set of feather dies. For the encouragement card, I made it square-- die cut several of the feathers and glued them to the card front.  I created the sentiment on my computer (see this post for instructions) and added a few black dots.  My second card - a manly birthday card - has gray leaves on a woodgrain embossed card base. Very simple and clean.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
