I've been going through pictures of my old projects recently and found this card. I think it might be my favorite card I've ever made. I made it years ago. There's absolutely nothing unique or special about it, but it makes me happy. The colors are awesome and it is crisp and clean.
I started with a sympathy card. They are my least favorite type of card to make (and send), for obvious reasons. I do like how this turned out. It's simple yet elegant, and definitely somber enough to convey sympathy.

Next I made a birthday card. It's amazing how changing up just the colors and patterns can completely change the mood of a card. An interesting note about this card- there was a flaw on the upper left quadrant of the paper that I didn't notice until after I glued everything down. I brainstormed how to save the card and came up with the idea of punching a dot from the scraps and using it to cover the flaw. It worked like a charm, though I then had to spend the next 20 minutes punching and adhering enough dots to the rest of the card to make it look like that was the original plan. :)

For my final card, I used the rest of the Fancy Pants paper from the previous card and scraplifted my original design nearly exactly. I like the yellow card better, but this one is fine. The floral pattern is much more prominent in real life.

I have a feeling I'll be coming back to this design again and again!
