Leftovers anyone?

For those of you who know me you know I HATE to make the same card more than once.  It actually take less time for me to create a brand new design than to re-make a card I already made!  So weird.  So I have a bunch of left overs from my last all occasions class and thought I would just play around and use the pieces for different cards--I do this a lot.  Here is the original card that I was using the pieces from....






And here are the three cards I made from stuff sitting around me on my table and the pieces from this card...The second card uses the sketch from Create with Connie and Mary.



Now this I find fun!  Not just re-making them over and over!  Which do you like best?  I am not sure myself--keep changing my mind. 

Happy Friday!

    Hey MJ, all your cards are great. I love the BLUE with all those other colors! I think my favorite is the "Happy Birthday" leaves card. But I'd take any one of them, the first two are definitely manly man cards of which I have few. Excellent work!

    Fantastic cards Mary Jo and to think they all came from leftovers. You are very creative.

    These are all fantastic! I love playing around with various layouts too. Really happy that the sketch at CCMC helped with your playing around this week (and thank you for sharing the lovely card!).

    I call my leftovers "card guts". You did a great job using them all! Love all the cards. Thanks for being a part of Create with Connie & Mary this week!

    I do this all the time! I really like the last one, with the leaves, but they're all nice....

    Although they are all beautiful, I might be just a little biased (!) in liking the Connie & Mary card the best! Love the colors and how you stamped the sentiment repeatedly for the background--clever! Thanks for playing along with us at CCMC this week!
