~ A Card I Dislike ~ and one I do like, along with roses

I made a mad card. As in, really mad. Color-wise..........

 Pattern-wise....

Any-wise. (what do "antique bicycles" have to do with a "just because" card? Not sure that I know...)

Hummm. It doesn't look like me-style, but it will do.

Perhaps the wonky colors of the photo contributed to my irritation with this card. Sorry huh.....

Here's one not half so mad. I ~love~ those baby birds!

 And I love that sentiment too. Love sure does grow in my family's happy home! ;o)

Well, I am all tired out, so it's time to get ready for bed........ we had a long week taking care of a funeral, and I just didn't get much time to mess around with the craft stuff....

In the days ahead, I will be a busy girl, but I hope I will have time to pop in every few days to share something. I'll be back I promise.

  2. Love both your cards Vio - the yellow 'just because' one is cute. Very happy and sunshiney, but not so bright to be overwhelming for your style. I like it anyhoo.
    TFS, hugs, Ruth S

  9. You silly girl. This is "your style". Just becuase you used a color other than pink or blue doesn't mean it isn't your style. You can't create cards in two colors forever. That woudl be boring. LOL It still have all the Viola touches that makes it "your style". I love it personally. You have come a long way in the few months you have been blogging. Your style will change and so will you. Have you ever looked at the beginning of Melissa Phillips blog? Not the same as now. :)
    Hugs~
