A just because card

This is a card I made to send to Jaclyn as a just because card. I bought the glass stickers a year or so ago to make Cara a card because they reminded me of her style, but last night when I was going through a jar of embellishments and found them, they seemed more fitting to make a card for Jaclyn. I bought the paper last week at Roberts and out of all my paper this fit the best. It is kind of sad to cut up a 12x12 piece of paper just for two inch strips, but I figure I could use the scraps to make a couple of springtime cards. I bought the buttons the same time I bought the paper because they matched. I am trying to send just because and thinking of you cards more often.

Malorie's birthday card

I have been in a card making mood lately. This is the card I made for Malorie's upcoming birthday in March. I decided to use ribbon I already had and then I found this celebrate embellishment in my stash. I just bought the paper at Roberts, after going through all the paper I had I thought these two match the ribbon the best. I also just bought the buttons recently at Roberts. After I finish the card I thought it needed just a little bit more, so I added the buttons. Also on the inside I used a Happy Birthday Rub on I already had. I think it is cute, hopefully she will too. I need to run to Roberts to get another piece of matching paper to make the envelope, then I will be all the way done.
