Notice today’s date??? It is the SAME forwards and backwards! That is known as a palindrome. Soooo …. I decided to use that as a theme for today’s creations.
First, make sure that your sentiment either is a stand-alone palinedrome (like my sample – “MOM”) or at least has ONE palindrome in it (like Connie’s sample – “EYE”). A few of the "easy" examples would include "mom", "dad", "pop", "sis", "wow", "did" ...
Second, if you decide to use patterned paper of any kind, make sure that the pattern is a palindrome – you MUST be able to draw a vertical line down the middle of it and have it look like a mirror image of itself.
Third … well, here is where you can take some liberties. You can use punches, which are palindromes since they are symmetrical from side to side. I used a Cuttlebug folder in my background that was also symmetrical from side to side. So if you decide to use something to emboss, just make sure you got a mirror image. Get it??? GREAT! Now go make something fabulous!!
By the way, here is a link to a website that has a list of palindromes that may inspire you (be careful, some are a little naughty!!)!
Uploading: Remember the keyword is without spaces. Use a comma between keywords with a space after each comma.
If you are new to the challenges, please feel free to do this one or ANY of the challenges at any time. There is no time limit. They are not races to see who can do one first, nor are they contests of any sort. All the challenges are simply to provide inspiration and to get us stamping!

I like early posts that I have time to think about at work, so I am ready to start when I get home. And this is going to require some thinking. But I love palindromes and word games, so it sounds like fun.
Ummm - Wendy, with the way we write our dates over here, its 21 01 2001. Does that let me out of all those limitations, LOL.
Thank you for the Challenge ! I am not sure What I will be able to do with this ( Unless I hang on to it till Halloween and add to it ! ) But here is mine ! TFL Palindrome Card by allansmommy at Splitcoaststampers
This was so much fun ... hope you like my kayak ! It has palindrome clouds and palindrome spots and a palindrome punchie cut in half ... What a fun challenge!
Palindromic Thanks
Took a quick peek at the list this morning and was all set to print my own EWE sentiment, then remembered this set...
The paper I could have sworn would work actually didn't - but this one does, I promise.
Thanks, Wendy, for refreshing my memory on what a palindrome was! :-) Here's MY DAD CARD.

A fun challenge Wendy. I just completed this design last night and it fits the challenge, with the exception of a sentiment. Hope it counts. The outer frame, as well as the center panel, both fit within the palindrome requirements.

This is the first time I have created something for the LS Challenge. I don't think I did it correctly. I didn't think about the fact that this was a LIMITED SUPPLY challenge until I started typing this post. Oh well here is my card anyway.
