My inspiration came to me as I was looking through my stamps. I knew I had this Invoke Arts set that had several inspiring words but then I noticed one of my PTI sets had a lot of little phrases that would work in concert with the larger words. So I stamped my own word collage using the two sets (7 different stamps, 7 chances to screw up). Lucky for me I was able to get them all lined up and stamped without smudges, etc..you know how it goes when you're almost done and you screw up on the last stamp. Today will be a good day

Yes, I know the last minute smudging well! Hooray it didn't happen here! This is a great card! Love the word collage you made and also the great patterns in the background!

You did a fabulous job on the word art and love that set! Pink houndstooth- Awesome against the word art. Love that splash of orange with this. What a great card for the challenge!

Polly, what a fantastic job you did of creating your focal panel. I thought it was dsp and then I read that you actually stamped all of the words, arranging them just so. You chose lots of positive phrases and used the pop of orange against the houndstooth to great effect. I really love this.

Glad you got all those wonderful words and sentiments stamped without messing up, Polly, LOL! I do SO know how that goes : )
I love your created subway art and that gorgeous shade of pink.

You did an amazing job on this! I can't believe you did that yourself! If you give me an opportunity to mess-up...have no fear, I will. Love the paper you've used, too!
