As you can see, I am posting a bit early tonight. The reason I�m doing this is that the challenge I�m about to give you might take you just a wee bit longer than our usual fare. I hope you all don�t throw things at me for this one .
~ The Same, But Different ~
As you know, many times when making a card you have a bunch of leftovers from the project you are working on and that stuff has to be put away (well, in theory� I usually only clean my desk once a week!). So for today�s challenge, you�re going to make TWO cards. They must use the same focal point, the same colors/papers, the same embellishments, punches, etc.�. Everything the same, except they need to be different (i.e. a different layout or a 3D item to coordinate�etc.). The only thing you can do differently is change the sentiment (IF the sentiment is not your focal point!). Remember, if you didn�t use it on one card, then you can�t use it on the other!
I'm going back to work tomorrow after a week's vacation, so I figured I better do this tonight -- because I barely have time to do one card before leaving for work in the morning! Thanks for the early post. Here are my cards --
Your challenge was a "goodie" today, Holly. Certainly made me stop and think. I'm one of those that cleans my work space after every card since it is a small space and I would never find anything if it wasn't in its assigned place....just what works for me.
What a fun challenge. I'm enjoying seeing what everyone's come up with in the gallery. Very creative!
Thanks for the challenge. I hope I get to it soon.

Just wanted to say, this is a great idea, Holly. ...and just in case you have any snippets leftover like I did, put them inside. It doesn't take much to take the inside of your card up a notch!
I am SO impressed! This is a terrific challenge, and the cards in the gallery are beautiful. Everyone is doing such a great job of making different cards from the same "stuff." I'm going to try this because once I make a card, it is easier for me to make a similar one, altho I've never done that using all the same materials before. Hopefully, I'll post here later. Thanks for the challenge!
What a fabulous idea. I haven't posted in the challenge for a while but couldn't resist this one. Here's mine but I goofed and used a different border punch when I was supposed to use the same one. That's what I get for not reading the instructions before I made the cards.

I'm a little late to the party, I intended to have this posted much earlier. Thanks for the very challenging challenge, Holly -- same but different is hard when no new products are allowed!
So FUN! I loved playing along today. It was amazingly difficult to design but I made - not one supply appears in one that is not in the other. Thanks for the challenge - it's great! My Twin Owls
