So why do I keep doing it

Why do I keep doing something that I never like the outcome of? Am I just a glutton for punishment or what?
Even though I never seem to like how my cards come out I keep trying to make them.
Here's the latest.

These were done last week while I was on vacation. I suppose they're ok but they just seem to be lacking something. I keep saying I'm just not going to make any more but I know I'll try again.
The good news is it's Friday and my weekend will be underway just as soon as 2:30 rolls around.

    Well I think the cards are lovely Ann...and after all it's what the person receiving them thinks of the cards...I think it's lovely to have a personal touch to them!!

    That's the down side to being a crafter, nothing ever comes out as out heads tell us it will and we a always dissatisfied.
    Your cards look great to me but I know exactly what you mean, I'm the same

    Your cards are very nice, Ann. They are even primitive. You are doing so much better at this than I have been. I've done nothing yet, and you know that next August will roll around quickly. My sticks are still on my deck, I have gathered many acorns though. I need a week off just to jump start myself into crafting. Have a good weekend! BTW, I have a paper for you about Christmas in the Woods. I got two of them on Monday again. It's in the car for you.

    Your cards looks nice to me, Ann =) But I know what you mean, we are our worst critics. I am the same with my art sometimes...
    Enjoy your weekend

    Those are really cute! Just keep making them. We are all more critical of our work than anyone else. I always see the flaws in my work but no one else seems to see them. love the cards.

    and i don't understand why you don't like them. they look great to me. i think we are all more critical of our own work, no matter what it is, than we are of others. maybe it is because you can see a flaw we dont see. like on The Voice I hear a singer that sounds good to me, but he judges say she has pitch problems. since i am not a crafter what ever you do is amazing to me

    I think they are adorable. I don't know what's wrong with them at all. Perhaps you're being to hard on yourself. Just saying.

    Have a terrific day and weekend. My best to Duke. :)

    Always look nice to me. Have a card party and everyone brings their best idea and enough goodies for each to make one like it is fun.

    I love your cards...especially the sunflower cards. The red, yellow and green against the kraft paper color is perfect. I love the simplicity of them.

    I would buy these! I really like the one on the bottom. I like buying cards that leave space to personalize the cards and yours do. :) These are fabulous, just fabulous!

    They are sweet and simple! I tend to go kind of nuts with my card making because I never feel like they're "done."

    My favorite is the one with the heart. You may have a little perfectionism going on...that is why all your stuff looks so darn good.

    Cards are the hardest - at least for me. I've never been happy with mine either. Yours on the other hand? I love them! Wish you could see them through my eyes. xxo
