Toy's Haven

Hi friends,

I’m posting tonight’s Technique Lover’s Challenge early for two reasons.  For one, it may take participants a little longer to do and also because I’m exhausted!

We did a lot of yard work this weekend and we had company.   My planter boxes are all stenciled and planted.  They look super cute.   The guys pulled a nasty bush out of our backyard and hauled it away to the dump.   I figure a couple more weeks and we’ll have all the planting and clean up done.  I will be excited to share pictures!

This week’s TLC is rather unique, if I do say so myself!   The challenge is to make TWO cards.   The cards must use the same focal point, same papers/colors, same embellishments/punches.   Whatever you put on one, you must put on the other.   You can use different sentiments as long as that is not the focal point.  The kicker is, they have to be different!

Here is my first card:

This was a bit harder than I thought it would be.   I kept track of what I was using and actually laid both cards out before I began assembling so that I didn’t miss anything.

Here is the second card:

It was actually a very cool thing to do as it really didn’t take me much longer to make both than it would take to make just one.   All the supplies were already out!

Here they are together:
