I have to tell yself it's only paper and it's recyclable so there really isn't anything to loose.

I'm sure it has struck a chord in many readers : ) I certainly have been working on the whole "let it go" concept in regards to scrapping things and starting over. It's not always easy, especially if you're really excited about something and it's just not looking how you want. I agree with your pick ... #1 is my fav, but really like #3 too.

I usually find the cards that I really don't like and don't want to share are the ones every one else likes!!<br />Your cards are all lovely, and I like the way you have used this week's challenge colours.

And when I pointed one out once the buyer simply said, "Those little flaws are what make handmade cards beautiful." Not sure if I totally agree but I appreciate the thought!<br /><br />All three cards are fabulous but the first one is my favourite. The flowers are balanced perfectly and your masking is gorgeous!Jen W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11427755487464927638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8012693871232773715.post-58400216684783014242013-01-22T08:30:18.386+10:002013-01-22T08:30:18.386+10:00You're so cute. ;-) All three of them are lov...You're so cute. ;-) All three of them are lovely!

You DO use them, right? Good. 'Cause I haven't read the other comments, but I'm guessing everyone thinks you are WAAAAAAY too hard on yourself and that all your cards would have left us inspired, just as they are.<br /><br />It's a burden, perfectionism, and I've got a back hump to prove it. It comes more naturally as you get old, to let it go, but if you can start to get over it at your age, as you said, it will make life easier for you and everyone around you.<br /><br />LITS, Michelle, LITS!!!Darnellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10723876053535575880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8012693871232773715.post-34021050838093062872013-01-21T13:19:36.734+10:002013-01-21T13:19:36.734+10:00Stunning card Michelle!

You make it look easy mainly because I would just case your card instead of look at the sketch. It is hard not to want it to be perfect. but try to remember it is about the fun of the craft, it's SUPPOSED to calm my anxieties not make them worse. Even though, you want to present with your best on your blog...and you have.
