why are rules hard to follow?

a love card

a thank you my friend made using her son's foot and hand

a manly card

my newest hobby front and back

So I've been trying to follow my up line's guide to making cards for an upcoming card party, however I am having trouble only using 2 colors plus white....it usually is not hard for me, but when there are rules...I have a hard time following. I put on my newest hobby making jewelry and scrapbooking combined :) and I love it. I made these little charms out of scrapbook paper, jewels, and some words...I totally love this new hobby!!! I am sorry I was such a downer before but don't we all get that way at some point? My husband fell off of a truck on his back this week and he hasn't been up to his usual, which I'm sad to say is beginning to be way more than me :( I realize how lost I'd be without him, I should probably tell him that, or maybe I'll keep it a secret awhile longer....well I better clean up while my pictures are down loading, thanks for stopping by...buzz
