Love your interpretation of Jenn's inspiration piece. Love all the white space to soften it up.

Beautiful card! I am inspired by colors in art work and abstract things generally. I love funky kind of stuff to look at. Like today's cake is not the "norm." I like those kinds of pics for inspiration. Your card is fantastic! I hope I like Kiwi as much as you do!! Wow! Beautiful card! I am inspired by colors in art work and abstract things generally.

This is unbelievably stunning!!! I couldn't believe it when I saw this challenge --- not at all my style and I still haven't figured out what I'm going to do -but whatever it is, it won't be this good!! I just totally love everything you do!!! I'm not a green girl either, and as for inspiration, I have a few blogs I visit every day, I get ideas from there, and I love to try challenges - I've only been making cards for 2yrs, Fan Club member for about 6mths, I need as much inspiration as I can get!! :) I think the thing that's helped the most is making cards for the church fundraiser, I always have to come up with something new - gets the grey matter working.

You are going to use up all those half pearls in not time :) Great job on the inspiration piece! You lucky girl to have two brains - just like my DD - I'm green with envy as I have a lot of the analytical side but not so much on the other side. What inspires me...well, you for one :) Love your layouts and perfectly balanced cards. I also get inspiration from nature - flowers in particular. They come in so many wonderful colours and combinations of colours. Also like looking at sales flyers - clothing colour combos and bed spread combos - the pros put them together so it must work together or people wouldn't but them.

Since everyone liked to buy flowers from the men of God, the rival florist across town thought the competition was unfair. He asked the good fathers to close down, but they would not. He went back and begged the friars to close. They ignored him. He asked his mother to go ask the friars to get out of business. They ignored her. So, the rival florist hired Hugh Mac Taggart, the roughest and most vicious thug in town to "persuade" them to close. Hugh beat up the friars and trashed their store, saying he'd be back if they didn't close shop. Terrified, the friars did so. The Moral of the Story: Wait for it. . . . . . . . Hugh, and only Hugh, can prevent florist friars !! Some friars were behind in their belfry payments, so they opened a small florist shop to raise the funds.
