Thank you Corrie for inviting me back for today’s Design Spotlight. I chose one of my recent designs so sales are yet to be seen, but I do love this card.
For me, inspiration can come from the moment I set eyes on an image and it speaks to me or from something I read, or even hear. In fact I carry around a digital voice recorder so that I can capture those ideas that jump into my mind for only a split second when I see a billboard or hear something funny on the radio. My mind is full 24/7 with ideas of creations yet to be made … LOL!
Something that tends to run through all of my card designs is matching imagery and verse. I love to play off the image, tying the visual aspects of the card to the verse and category. If the words to play off the image don’t come to me, then I put the card aside and it may be months before I have that light-bulb moment to finish the card.
In addition to visiting my cards at Salon of Art Greetings
You can find me on Facebook and on my Salon of Art website.

Doreen,
So nice to see you in the spotlight! I know what you mean by ‘My mind is full 24/7 with ideas of creations yet to be made’ there are more ideas than time. If you find a cure, let me know. 🙂
LOL … Glad to know someone of your talent has the same affliction 🙂
Oh my goodness Doreen, I don’t know what to say, thank you for your kind compliment. It means a lot. 🙂
That is a wonderful card Doreen. Very timely too, since my foster dog gave birth this morning to 4 healthy puppies. Maybe I should send the mama one of these cards, since she will be retired from making babies after they are weaned!
All kidding aside, it is a fabulous card!
Oh, bless her heart! She certainly deserves a retirement celebration! Thank you Trish!
Correction, she had 7!!! I can’t imagine how she could even carry that many!! No wonder she waddled so badly.
Nice to see the Spotlight on your Doreen! What a great card and great approach to card making. Congrats! xo
“You”- always good to proof read! lol!
