ideal:
1. existing as a mental image or in fancy or imagination only; lacking practicality
2. conforming exactly to an ideal, law, or standard; perfect
3. existing as an archetypal idea (prototype)
4. of or relating to philosophical idealism
5. a standard of perfection, beauty, or excellence
6. one regarded as exemplifying an ideal and often taken as a model for imitation
7. an ultimate object or aim of endeavor; goal
So here is why I put this card as my example of IDEAL.
This sketch was IDEAL for showcasing small images like the pumpkins.
The IDEAL image for a fall card is a pumpkin.
The IDEAL embellishment for a card made for Kelly's challenges would be a gingham ribbon.
The pumpkins were IDEAL for the MMMY3 teaparty yesterday in the pumpkin patch.
It got me thinking about other ideals. My favorite ideal, that uses the first definition, would be my ideal vacation. My ideal vacation would be one that went to California so I could meet Cathy, aka Mutnik; Colorado so I could meet Cindy (Mothermark), Connie (Connie Jo), New York Kelly, North Carolina, Anne Ryan, Dawn(Flowergal36), Grace (Scrappigramma).... the list could go on and on. It would be ideal to meet all my Splitcoast friends.
