I toyed with several different ideas for the "hang in there" HYCCT challenge before finally deciding to take a cue from Tami Mayberry's "The Sky's the Limit" card. The little charm has the word "laugh" engraved on it; I received it years ago in a swap and am glad to finally have found a use for it. I sponged some ink on the sentiment to highlight the word "laugh". I decided to distress the edges of the white panel to add a little extra visual interest.
Thank you for the inspiration, Tami!
Comments are welcome. Thanks for looking at my card!

So - do you have a suitable stamp to go with a similar charm that says Cherish. I'd love to send it to you ;-), as I've probably had it for longer than you had your laugh one!!

I love how you just let the sentiment be the focal point and how my eye just kind of lingered over it soaking it in. The little laugh charm is just perfect and your color choice couldn't be a more perfect compliment to the sentiment as well.
