I assumed that most of you knew I was a sign language interpreter. I guess I was wrong:) I have been an interpreter in the school system for about 15 years. The last 3 years I have been interpreting for a girl who is now in 6th grade. She is a great kid and endless inspiration, from the patterns on her clothes to the color combinations she puts together. This card is inspired by the pattern on her backpack. I loved the colors on her bag too and have used the same ones on my card!
Since she inspired the design I decided to use a sentiment to inspire her.
Thanks for stopping by!

What a stunning background!!
The colors are gorgeous...

You have no idea how much I admire you for what you do every day.
Having a special needs child myself...
I don't know what we would do without her incredible teachers and aides...
but I do know that the rewards are not measured in dollars...
but in steps.
Steps taken and achieved...
obstacles overcome...
and the smile that lights up their face when they reach a goal!
What a beautiful background Kara, I love the colours you chose and the whimsical feel of it. Love your flower too.
This card is absolutely gorgeous. I love the background stamping you did, and really appreciated learning a little bit more about how you spend your days.
What a fabulous stamped background-- I love it!
Fantastic background! I really love the colors you used.
Love this inspired background! I knew, and remembered because I have an aunt my age who does the same thing as you, In Wisconsin.
Kara!!! Oh my goodness this is amazing. Okay, I just put in a really big order last night..and now I want this set! I guess there is always next month :)
What a wonderful career you have. I didn't realize that you were an interpreter. I love your inspiring card! Adore the beautiful colors and design--reminds me of how long it has been since I have gotten Garden of Life out! There are so many older sets that sometimes get forgotten.
What a lovely story and card! You created an amazing backround.
I love this card, and I love the story behind it!
Great reto look to your background! The colors and flowers look like a fabric from the 50's! Super!
Amazing stamping! LOVE your card!
Have a wonderful week-end, hugs Karin
What a gorgeous background Kara and I love your little felt flower.
