Just Because

I love making cards! I'm not nearly as creative as my friend Carin, but I love making them. And I admit....I hate buying them. In the amount of time I would spend picking one out I could have made one. Plus they are about $5 now! And what a great way to use up my kits.

Here are a few quick and simple cards that I created using bits and pieces leftover from a graduation project. Having three boys myself, I really love that the birthday card has more of a masculine feel to it. Perfect!

Create a card this weekend! You'll be so happy you did it and you'll have a lot of fun too!

I love your cards, Ruth! The buttons on the bottom one are a great touch; love your lollipop flowers too.

Sometimes I think I like making cards even more than layouts!

Ruth, your cards are gorgeous! I love all of the little details you put into them, especially the little flower and the button border! Creative Imaginations has a card sketch contest every month. You should go for it!

Yep.. it's about time I sit down and make some birthday cards. My oldest DD was going through my stash of pre-made cards and there were like two birthday cards to choose from. Not good considering the amount of PP I have on my hands... lol

LOVE your cards, especially the masculine one.. way to rock it Ruth!

I wish I would just sit down for a day and make cards. I think that would be fun. (especially with friends!)

such cute cards! I won't buy them either, but I don't enjoy making them! I'd rather be scrapping a layout!
