Butterfly cards
















I don't consider this repeating a design, instead I call it playing with a theme.   We can quibble over semantics :)  

I really enjoy making these ribbon butterflies.   They're super easy.  What I didn't like is the stitching.  It might be hard to tell, but that's not faux stitching.   I did it all by hand, and it was slow.   But the cards look great!

Thank You cards




Here are a few Thank You cards I made.   They were fast and simple.   I had 10 to make in one night.   So I made 5 designs twice, which is about my threshold for repeating designs.    

I used to keep a small book of designs that I could flip through and make quickly, and came to the realization that I like the creative process alot.   I haven't consciously repeated a design in quite a few months.
