So yesterday I spent most of my day making cards. Here are a few of those I got done. 

Hope you like them!

This one has been on my mind to do for a while. I love how it turned out!

The next two are just different color variations on the same thing. When I finished these, I was very pleased to get the thumbs up from my hubby!

This last one is one that I made for my mother-in-law's birthday and loved so much I made a few more for OWH.
