And A Few Random Occasions Cards!

One Mother's Day card from last year, I think.  I love the bold print and colors of the flowered paper but find it tough to actually integrate into most cards.  This attempt worked okay but I still think there is something babyish about it.  Maybe if I'd lost that additional flower?  I do like the paper tearing effect, though.

This was very simple for a bridal shower. 

One attempt at making a wedding card using the often-seen mismatch of papers, textures, and colors that many card makers use.  However, my creations don't seem to ever turn out as functional and put-together as theirs! 

Another mash-up of colors and textures.  I'm a big fan of purple and grey's together so I think I like this card a but more than the previous one.

I can't remember what this was for, but I think the window effect is very nice if done right.  Not sure this card works but the colors are lively and cheery!

I buy way too many Valentine's stamp sets and paper and really only have one person to give these cards to.  So, in general, Bryan usually gets 3-4 but I only managed one for him this year.  It's okay, a little babyish again, I think. Next year I will do better (and will begin in January).

This was for Bryan for our anniversary. Working off a template for a young boy's birthday card and with minimal stamp sets to choose from, this ended up looking like another boy's card, so I'll keep the template and change the sentiment!

Again, I buy these stamp sets (in this case a Thanksgiving one) and never use them.  So, I decided to make Thanksgiving cards for both my parents and Bryan's Mom this year and this was the card (they both get the same one).  I think it turned out relatively well.
