Inspired By All The Little Things #52
It's April showers time (oh, did we have a downpour today!) so I've picked a very apropo photo as the inspiration for Inspired By All the Little Things this week. I am the hostess for this week's challenge, and I have invited my Ai Design teammate Renee Matarese to be my Guest Designer! Renee does such amazing, unique cards, always thinking outside the box, and she has a real flair for masculine cards, too! Here is this week's photo that we worked from:

I knew that I had this great taxi-printed paper, and decided to do something a little more fun & lighthearted. Plus, my son graduated from University this week and has headed off to Europe to travel, and I felt like making more of a motivational card. So here's what I came up with:

Fabulous take on the inspiration photo!
I LOVE this inspiration photo!! Cute card and very fitting for the graduate :)
Karen, your card is so cute! I absolutely love that paper!
That paper is so fun and perfect for this inspiration! Great job!
Love that you thought outside the box and took the taxi as your inspiration! What a fun design!
I've made the mad-dash through Midtown NY in the rain a few times myself, Karen! Never looking as chic as this marvelous girl! LOve your taxis, and the sentiment is perfect for your boy! xx

Oh, this is fabulous! That taxicab paper is genius for the inspiration.
