I must begin this post by saying thank you. Thank you to every one of you who stopped by my blog to leave a kind message of encouragement. you are loved more than you can know! consider yourself hugged BIG! :)
When I first came upon this wonderful sentiment over at Word Art Wednesday, it really touched a special place in my heart. oh how easy it is to just give in, to give in to 'whatever'. we each have that 'whatever' that plagues us....it tempts us.... it tries to tackle us to the ground and make us cry Uncle. but we can't let that 'whatever' rule us or keep us from finding the beauty and joy EVERY single day brings with the sunrise.
So dear friend, grab your Brave Boots. you know you have a pair, they just might be hiding in the closet somewhere. put those boots on and hold your head high! You can do this! Because I am right there, wearing my boots, too, right along beside you, holding your hand, as we take those steps into this beautiful world. Never give up! We can do this! :)

Incredible card Jennifer! I love the fact that it has so many bits and pieces as does our lives! Hold onto the Lord Jesus, he never fails!
Your card has lots of delightful elements. Thanks for joint our challenge at Jackson's Digital Expressions.
Now that is just an awesome saying, and an equally awesome card to go with it! I love your style!
I love your card design, and the Churchill quote complements the theme perfectly. Blessings!
I am following your blog for some time now - most often I'm lazy to write comments, but now I just want to mention that you should start a new career - become self esteem or motivation couch! I read your blog whenever I feel a bit blue or I'm simply looking for some beauty of mind. You are a truly amazing person and it is so lovely to hear that you are feeling a bit better after your chemo. Take care of yourself!
Hugs,
Liva ❤

So many fun things to your card - the image is perfect and that clip with seam binding - great pairing!
such a fun card for a guy !
This is great. The background speaks to me like all the trying in life. Trying this and that. But every time when we fall, we get up and try something new.
Love it!
Thanks so much for sharing your art with us on WAW.
