My First Easel Card

I have seen so many easel cards on blogs and the Cricut Message Board, I thought I would like to make one.  The card was easy enough to put together but my A type personality kicked in when trying to decide how to decorate it.  I can spend a huge amount of time trying to decide what paper, embellishments, etc.  Any suggestions on how to cure this malady?  LOL
I decided to use Create a Critter since I have never used it.  I love butterflies so I chose the butterfly(page 64) and the flowers(page 47) to add cheer to my card.  They are adorable.  The paper is DCWV Citrus.  I added some small butterflies punched with an EK Success punch. 

I wasn't sure about decorating the panel behind the easel but I chose to add "Wish you a"  and a few embellishments to lead into my inside message of "perfect day."
Thank you for letting me ramble about this card today.  Create a Critter is a very cute cartridge.  Thanks for visiting.  God bless you!! Peggy

  1. Peggy,
    That is a super cute card. Don't worry, I am the same way as far as papers & stuff. I will have an idea in my head for a week, but take even longer to put it together cuz I can't decide how I want to decorate it...lol
    Create A Critter has been on my must have list since it first came out.
    ((thinking I need to give my list to hubby))
