The name for this month's hop is Double Take....we had to use same stamps, papers, embellishments, etc...and make two different cards with those things. And let me tell ya...I really struggled with it for some unknown reason, lol! I was all whiny and figured I would have to just bow out....but I FINALLY got it done! LOL! Here are my creations...I like the first one, not crazy about the 2nd one though:
And the 2nd card:
Both insides have this:
At first I was thinking to do a CAS card and then one more loaded with stuff, but then it wouldnt have been using the same things...so that wouldnt have counted! Soooo, they are both very much alike, IMO, lol! And I believe we were to make two very different ones...oh well...ummm..oops? LOL!
Ok, next, head on over to the oh so talented Carolina Buchting's Blog and see what she has for you today!!
