Active regions on the surfaces of the chromospherically active stars GSC 08923-01147 and GSC 08933-01802 are found by reconstructing the surface-temperature inhomogeneities using the V light curves, obtained from observations performed during the ASAS-3 project. Up to one-third of the total observed area of the stellar surfaces was covered by spots. In GSC 08923-01147, the spotted fraction decreased from 0.31 to 0.05 during the observation period, while it varied within 0.2-0.3 during four years in GSC 08933-01802. The detected phases of active longitudes tend to concentrate near two positions separated by about half a period. The active regions in GSC 08933-01147 became closer or further apart on a time scale of 4.8 years. The maximum separations of the longitudes Δ φ long were maximum when the amplitude of the brightness variability reached a minimum. During the transition of the star from a minimum-brightness to an enhanced-brightness state, the longitude of the more active region switched. The brightness variability of GSC 08933-01802 was more substantial (Δ V }~ 0.55 m -0.06 m ). For some time, only one extended active region was present on the stellar surface, while two regions were usually present. No switch of the active longitudes was detected. The more active region monotonically moved over the surface of the star, causing the longitudes of the active regions to drift together. This monotonic change in the position of the more active longitude ceased at the minimum of the brightness-variation amplitude.
