bigga, how long does it take you to make yourself a custom on average. and where do you get the designs for these?

After I have the design finished It usally takes me about 45 minuets to make a card, that includes the photoshop work, printing, and cutting.
It takes me a long time to come up with a design usually months.
I will see something I think will look good on a card and then I will start a design with that idea.
I will just keep adding and changing things, something I think looks good on Monday I might not like on Tuesday so I will change it.
I have cuts I need to finish that I have been working on the designs for over 8 months.
I would say on average most designs take me over 15 hours of photoshop work until I come up with a design I am happy with.

Lol, I am not retired. The 15 hours is not in one setting. It usualy takes me months of working on them here or there to finlize a design. I work on them in my spare time at night usually while watching TV.

A new "cut" I have been working on. It is not the traditional cut as I did not cut the original card. I made the custom with a hole cut to slip in front of the original in the soft sleeve.
