Card Making 2013 Goal Week 1

I am following in the steps of Patrice over at The Old Back Porch.  She started in 2012 making a card per week.  I want to do that for 2013, but I also want to put a spin on it.  I want to make two cards at the same time with a similar layout, but some variation on the same theme.  I am hoping to build up some stock of pre-made cards.  Currently I make them and use them almost immediately.

Here are the cards for Week #1:

I didn't follow any sketch, but I did find a card posted on Pinterest that gave me my inspiration.

As for building up stock...I've already used these two cards.  Oh, well.  The goal is to just keep going.

Wish me luck.
