I have saved enough inspiration photos for a lifetime of own "studies". I am rethinking my "inspiration" process to recognize what I like about the examples, and plan to group them that way so its not 3,000 individual sources but more like a dozen themes like rainbow colors or backgrounds from small stamps. I also need to act on that inspiration, instead of spending all day online collecting it by seeing what others are making rather than making some myself ;-) That is a topic for another day though!Karen @ Misplaced Mojohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15835307943794476787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799276623638360369.post-71137836941029744292019-02-18T13:05:52.910-05:002019-02-18T13:05:52.910-05:00this is beautiful!this is beautiful!Bevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09770970018027269564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799276623638360369.post-30440798601760183772019-02-15T00:26:15.647-05:002019-02-15T00:26:15.647-05:00Joan, this series of studying/learning and sharing...Joan, this series of studying/learning and sharing is spot on! While I've always loved your original painted cards best, the 'inspired by' cards are remarkable and your writing always makes me grin 😄 So sorry about missing out on the trial, your efforts to get in were great.

What an inspiration you are to all of us. I'm sorry about the clinical trial.

I may have done a rainbow daisy once, but never did I ever think to use this set - but I will now! Thank you for sharing your inspired journey - hey, even Norman Rockwell painted from a photograph! so why can't we all try on a few of our favorite designer's styles for size, right? I may try a little J.B. today, if you don't mind! <br />=]I Card Everyonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14200280765111026506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799276623638360369.post-86342106977982507242019-02-14T08:33:10.895-05:002019-02-14T08:33:10.895-05:00Well, I LOVE this card!

Perhaps the most helpful thing I've learned from your process (and obviously mine as well) is that I am not the designer. I need other inspiration to enjoy my craft. While my cards are often a more direct interpretation of the inspiration card, I am ready to take a new approach to card-making that receives the inspiration for what it really is and use my own creativity to bring it new life in paper and glue. You are an excellent mentor for me. thank you!Suzanne Russellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17410436139537791496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799276623638360369.post-74648509168655430952019-02-14T05:38:41.302-05:002019-02-14T05:38:41.302-05:00Such a pretty card, Joan.

Inspired, but certainly not copied. You've hit on something, Joan. LOVE it! I'm sorry you were so disappointed about the clinical trial. They're pretty strict about those. Sometimes I think I'd like to stamp all day and I love it when I have the chance, but I have to get out and about, too. I hope your volunteer opportunity works out.Leslie Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12242569371751832426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799276623638360369.post-31725889260191366882019-02-13T22:54:00.012-05:002019-02-13T22:54:00.012-05:00Gorgeous, who would have thought a rainbow hued hy...Gorgeous, who would have thought a rainbow hued hydrangea would look so fabulous.

I dislike copying enormously because being creative is my reason to stamp. But I also don't feel very original or unique, and when I try to be original, everything comes out looking boring. Your results here are STUNNING! Beautiful inspiration card, and beautiful inspired card!<br /><br />I'm sorry you didn't get picked up for the trial.
