I suppose when I am making cards I could leave the insides blank. That certainly would be easier but then the cards seem unfinished to me. In the post about Overlays I showed the example of tags I had put in with the sentiment stamped on them. There is always room for people to add their own messages too, but sometimes I think it takes the "pressure" off of having to think of something to say. Know what I mean?
I am a collector of quotes and am always on the lookout for stamps and other things with good quotes on them. One of my sources is the desk top calendars with a different quote on each page. I have quite a few of those.
They definitely come in handy and I can usually cut around the quote and fit it into the card or mini-album.

I also love to use stamps. Some have just words on them that you can mix and match to make your own quotes and some have the whole sentiment.
This one is a good one because it has a lot of different occasions on it.
I've used this one quite a few times on Thank You cards.
This is one of my favorites though. It has quotes from little kids. "Getting married means sharing your toys." That makes perfect sense to me! Also, "You make me smile all over my face." Ever felt like that?
Would you rather have a card that is blank inside so you can write whatever you want or do you like ones with appropriate sentiments already? Do you have favorite quotes that would be good to use? Share!
I hope you are getting a chance to visit some of the other 10th Anniversary A to Z Challenge bloggers out there. I know that some are new and would appreciate the love. Tomorrow is Saturday so see you here for some R and R!
