Card swap

So, I am in a card swap with 10 others. We will each make 2 cards and then receive 20 back (including 2 of our own.) I said I would make "new baby" cards, so I decided to do one girl and one boy card. I was rushing somewhat to get them done, as my parents are visiting soon - YAY! I'm happy with the boy card, but messed up a little on the girl card. Forgot to heat emboss BEFORE using the versamark to make watermarks on the rest of the paper. Ooops, yellow embossing powder everywhere! So, I turned the card over and dry embossed with the Cuttlebug instead. I really needed some texture on that paper!
Anyway... here they are...
BTW, how do YOU photograph your creations? I am having a hard time lately making the photos look good... and, no it's not the new camera! :)
