I definitely create to relax. Sometimes I find myself puttering around my desk but not actually sitting down to create, and those times I nearly push myself to sit down & begin to work on something. Even if it's just folding blank cards or cutting out the little labels to go on the back of cards, or, heaven forbid, putting things away...listening to music and sitting at my desk calms me down & lets me relax. Speaking of music...currently the four CDs in rotation are Paolo Nutini, Sarah McLachlan, Carrie Underwood, and Amy Winehouse. For some reason, that combination gives me the giggles.
My favourite craft for relaxation is quilling, crochet being a close second. Both produce an intricate and lovely design, but take shape fast enough to satisfy my need for instant gratification :)

Both cards look wonderful. I just bought the Fancy Pants paper you used on your first card today at my LSS.
Hugs and smiles
