W2CB #61: Mid-Challenge Reminder

Hi, everyone!

Hope you're somewhere toasty... maybe watching a little football. Thought I'd steal a few minutes away from the game to post a mid-challenge reminder. Our current challenge features a quote from Emily Dickinson.

Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul - 

and sings the tunes without the words - 

and never stops at all. 

The cards below send wishes to friends, one commemorating a birthday... and one beginning a new role at work.

You have until February 6 to play along. To kick off the new year in style, the winner gets a $20 gift certificate to the e-tailer of her/his choice.

Hope to see you in the W2CB Gallery!

W2CB #61: Hope

Hi, everyone! Happy New Year's from all of us here at Words 2 Craft By!

Sybrina here with our first words of 2019, which come to us from Emily Dickinson.

Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul - 

and sings the tunes without the words - 

and never stops at all. 

Let's see how our gals have interpreted these words, starting with Guest Designer Cath Wilson. Cath blogs over at Inky Fingers, and we are thrilled that she is joining us this month. Welcome, Cath!

How do you see Hope?

And the Winner Is...

Happy New Year! Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season.

Our December/January winner is... Mia who wowed us with her gorgeous angel-inspired Love and Peace card! Not only is this angelic girl so wonderfully colored, but those stars are stunning.

Congratulations, Mia! Please e-mail me at cards[dot]by[dot]sybrina[at]gmail[dot]com to make prize arrangements.

Thanks to all who played along. We'll be back Wednesday with our first challenge of the new year. See you then!

Merry Christmas!

All of us gals here at Words 2 Craft By send our wishes for the merriest of Christmases!

We hope you share a blessed holiday celebration with loved ones, enjoy a few delicious seasonal treats... and a find a few crafting goodies in your stocking.

Speaking of crafting, should you have a little time to create this holiday season, our current holiday-themed challenge is open through January 2.

Our challenge words come to us from Kid-Quote-kiddie Benjamin:
I'm an angel at Christmas time, but the rest of the year I'm the real me. 

My card for hubby was inspired by our "pup" that we adopted from a local  animal rescue non-profit last fall. Brody is half Russell Terrier and has definitely gotten into the holiday spirit -- starting with rolling in the tinsel when we were decorating the tree... while trying his best to not get into presents that aren't for him!


Be Joyful!

W2CB #60: An Angel? Me?

Hi, everyone! Sybrina here with our last W2CB Challenge of 2018.

In December, it seems all our thoughts -- and actions -- turn to the holidays. While we adults try to cram 30-hours of tasks into 24-hour days, little ones try their very best to be good. With that in mind, this month's words come to us from 11-year-old Kid-Quote-kiddo Benjamin.

I'm an angel at Christmas time, but the rest of the year I'm the real me.

Sound like anyone you know? Let's see what our gals have for us this month. You'll see there are a few angel-specific interpretations, a kitty who just can't be good, a pup trying soooo very hard to be good, and a bunny whose thrown in the trying-to-be-good towel altogether... and is throwing snowballs instead.
