One seed can start a garden, one candle can light a room, one step can begin a journey, one conversation can start a friendship, one smile from a handmade card can lift one's SPIRIT!

Twofer Challenge #1 a redeeming post

I am redeeming myself friends!
I was in such a hurry to get a card made for The TWOFER CHALLENGE that I totally focused on two cards for different occasions, not really thinking about two different DESIGNS!!
SO after a three day weekend in the gym...and LOOOONG days at that (one granddaughter played at 8 am- 1 pm, the other played at 3 - 9:30 pm!!) I was ready to get back into the studio and come up with new designs.  I was asked for a couple of thank you cards, so I set to work using the same feather from PTI's Happy trails and using totally different designs for the cards.  Here is what I came up with, and I so apologize for not reading the directions and following them, Darnell!!  And by the way...I think this is terrific and challenging (obviously for me!  *wink) and I appreciate the rules of this challenge!!

Using feathers was perfect because my cards are going to a man thanking him for his service at church.  I like to have several options for the person so choose from, so I loved using the same stamp but with different designs.  I also LOVE this sentiment and think it is so appropriate!
One more thank you card that has nothing to do with the twofer challenge, just wanted to throw in one more card choice for my friend who is sending it.
Okay my friends, I totally feel better about entering these two cards in this challenge, I hope you will go and do the same.  And don't forget to read the rules and follow them!
Heart Hugs, friends!

Welcome to another Seize the Birthday Challenge!
If you would like to join us in a topping option,
it is "white on white".  If you are not a topping
kind of person, then you are welcome to make a birthday card of your choosing!
 


I used some Wendy Vecchi white embossing paste for the chevrons,
then adhered it to a white card base.
