There are so many interpretations for this week's cue. (Be sure to check out Ardyth's post for a clever way to play along, especially if you are stumped by this one!)
I went on a search for quotes using the word "word" and quickly came to realize the many ways words influence our lives. They can make us happy. They can bring us joy. They can be hurtful. They can sting. They can bring us together. They can tear people apart. They can make us laugh. They can bring us comfort.
Pause here...I have to share two very funny "word" quotes I came across by the hilariously dry-witted comedian Stephen Wright:
"What's another word for Thesaurus?" (Ha ha.)
"If a word in the dictionary was misspelled, how would we know?" (Yes, I do have a dry sense of humor.)
Anyway, I also realized that sometimes fewer words are better than more. I came across this quote and I made it into my card using some patterned papers and a Papertrey Ink word die:
In this case, my "white space" is light green.
I added a strip of patterned paper on the inside of the card to match the die cut word.
