I have two cards to choose from, for one person. As you may already know, I make cards for all of my co-worker/team members at work. Since I've been doing this for a long time now, most of them know my cards well. This year I have been asking what they want to see on their cards, along with a bit of a questionnaire with the following questions:
1. fav. color/color combo
2. Hobbies?
3. Funny/punny or serious?
4. Pets/kids?
5. Do you collect anything?
6. Fav. sports and/or sports teams?
7. Fav. food?
The answers to these questions usually give me enough to go on. Well, for the last several years one of my co-workers have pretty much received the same type of card. I know she likes riding bikes (both city and mountain). This time, with these questions, I have had more ideas. In her answers I've learned her favorite colors are blues, maroon and some orange. She likes running, mt. biking, bird watching, photography, violin and gardening. She enjoys funny cards. She likes just about every food across the globe. But...she also said she likes simplicity. Hmmm... Well, I made two cards. With what you just learned, what one would you choose for her?
To give some card info... The first card was made using all CTMH Paper. The bike and sentiment are from a sticker pack that came from one of the CTMH paper packs. I colored the bike using Shimmer Pens from, you guessed it, CTMH! lol
The second card was made using an image from All Dressed Up. I created the sentiment using my Cricut. I used an embossing folder on the black paper and ran a gold stamp pad over it. I added gems, flowers, ribbon and gold leaves.
I'd love to hear what one you'd pick for her!!
Thanks for looking!

Hmmm Difficult choice! Both cards are beautiful and very different. Your flowers on the second card look real. Very pretty! Thank you for sharing your beautiful creation at AAA Birthday. Stay safe and keep crafting!! xx
Love your musical theme you used on the All Dressed Up card-lots of work on this what with the coloring, embossing, embellies-great accents! Thanks for playing with us and come back soon!

Both cards are a great, but I would give her the musical card if she's already received a bunch of bike ones in the past. Thanks for sharing with us at Use Your Stuff

Both your cards are gorgeous, Karen! I love the bicycle and the pretty papers on the first one, but I also love the dramatic design of the second one! I'm sure that, whichever you choose, your friend will love it! Thanks for joining in at Dream Valley!

Great questions.. Cute cards. I like the designs. So glad you shared over at Make My Monday.
Lovely birthday card, Karen. Cute image and beautifully coloured. Thank you for joining us at As You Like It. xx Wilma
I would say, it's always fun to receive more than one birthday card.. so why not both?! It's so refreshing to see your take on what kind of cards you want to give to the people you work with. It's especially sweet when you make not one, but two cards!
Thank you for joining in our challenge and best of luck.
