Beautiful custom greeting cards

Scout got a deal from Shutterfly for a free 100 prints.  I could not resist buying some of them from him to make my own unique greeting cards.
I bought these craft paper cards and envelopes at Michael's with a 40% off coupon.  I think the color is great as a background for the vivid prints.
Then I gathered a ruler, utility knife, glue stick, and a cutting board.
I spread the photos out before me.  Some of them will be lengthwise, some crosswise.  The cards are smaller than the prints, so they must be trimmed up a smidge.




When I was done trimming and pasting I had quite a pile of scraps.  I hate that they had to be trimmed, but the next size card was huge.  These are just the right size for birthday cards, thank you's, etc.
 
 
On the back of each of them I wrote the name he uses for his photography:
