This challenge was to find inspiration within - blog, gallery, decor etc. I went straight to my gallery and I hate to sound full of myself, but I really like my cards.( But then, I just don't upload it if I don't like it) The temptation to whine is just too great. So I picked a card that I like the style of and changed it up a bit. This is what I picked
I needed a card for my 84 year old neighbor who just took up ballroom dancing (can you believe it) and is dancing on stage. So I changed up my choice using a vintage dictionary page with harlequin stamping, a treble clef and "dancin" shoe. She will love it. I hope you do too.

Carol, I like your cards too! Your ideas are awesome! She will LOVE this especially since you tailored it for her! Love the harlequin on newsprint and the use of my most favorite colors, neutrals!

Nice card, Carol! Like your print bkgrd and distresed Harlequin bkgrd. The dancing shoe and treble clef are perfect for your theme. The red rhinestones make it festive, too.

Way to go your neighbour taking up dancing at that age. This is so you, with the harlequin print, the text and the hint of music (which, you know, I love!).

Good for your neighbor!!! My hat's off to her!
My friend, I like your cards too and I'm with you... if I don't like it, I don't upload. I LOVE the changes you made to your pretty CAS card. This is wonderful.
