Card Making Fun

I am so far behind on scrapbooking, over two years worth of pictures waiting to be put into albums.  So I'm feeling guilty that the only crafts I feel like doing lately are cards.  But crafting is supposed to be fun, right? And this lately is fun.  The best part is that it requires less planning to put together a card.  I can start with any color scheme or product and go.  With layouts I have to try to tie it all into the pictures.  With cards I decide the title/event after I have the papers and embellishments chosen. Anyway, I think these turned out pretty cute.  Made one similar to the top one for my DD#1's 14th birthday (I love you!).  I thought it turned out cute so I made another.  The second one I just saw the paper and started improvising.  I really love my little butterfly die cut. I think I paid less than $5 for it and I've used it for quite a few cards already.  Plus I got to use lots of Stickles on this card! My fav, next to anything BasicGrey that is!
