My Heart's Devotion Mid-Challenge Post

Hi, everyone! Sybrina here with a mid-challenge post. Thanks to everyone who has already linked up a card/project. It's wonderful to see so many great entries. And, welcome to our newest followers: Asha, Carol, Marsha, Donna, and Carrie.


Our words for this month come from American author and humorist Mark Twain.

I can promise all my heart's devotion; 
A smile to chase away your tears of sorrow;
A love that's true and ever growing;
A hand to hold in yours through each tomorrow.
 
And, here's a card that was inspired by the third line of this Twain quote. I wanted to make a vintage-feel card that could be used to send a special message for a romantic occasion or a thank you to a dear friend.
 
 
 
 
The current challenge is open until March 2nd. While making cards is the first love of our designers, we are equal-opportunity crafters. Any type of project inspired by this month's words are welcome.
 
Like last month, we will be randomly awarding gift certificates to one challenge participant and one blog follower. In addition, one entry will be chosen as our challenge winner. The winning crafter will receive our winner's badge and an invitation to join us as a Guest I-Teamer for a future challenge.  :)
 
Hope you'll play along with our Heart's Devotion Challenge. Scroll down or click here for the original post.

My Heart's Devotion

Bobbi here with our February Words 2 Craft By challenge. This month's words come to us from beloved American author and humorist Mark Twain.


I can promise all my heart's devotion; 
A smile to chase away your tears of sorrow;
A love that's true and ever growing;
A hand to hold in yours through each tomorrow.

This quote reminded me of good friends -- those special people who make my life even more worthwhile. This month's words were a perfect inspiration to make a special card for one of these special people.  

Other members of our Inspiration Team came away with a more romantic interpretation of Twain's quote. Let's take a look at what our I-Teamers, including Guest I-Teamer Jen, created for this month's W2CB Challenge.
