First off, you must go visit Barb's blog - Inking Into Retirement. Once you spend - oh, say 30 seconds - on her blog, you'll see what a huge undertaking and difficult task it is to find inspiration! Why? Because EVERYTHING is AMAZING!!!!! I don't think Barb has ever made anything that looks bad EVER! To pick out one card was an impossible task for me. So I gave up. I must confess that I did get it narrowed down to 2 cards...but I could never decide which to use so I tossed up my hands and put up the white flag in defeat.
I decided to make a card based on Barb. There are so many directions I could have gone because there are so many wonderful things about Barb...here's a few things I was thinking:
- Barb is an avid gardener - and I even found out that she has a greenhouse! This impressed me because I can't even keep silk flowers looking good.
- Barb loves animals...she even recently attended a Fur-Ball (you'll have to ask her about that one...LOL!!!). I love animals too - guess that's why everything I make has at least 1 kitty hair on it.
- Barb loves the outdoors....I do too but while Barb would be hiking around, I would be sitting on my swing reading.
So Barb, my friend, this is how you've inspired me...which color and fun and a bit of silly and whimsy. I hope I did you justice.
Happy Barb-Day!
