Inspirational Collage Picture – create your own piece of art

We all have days when we are feeling blue and need some motivation, encouragement to be happier, stronger and find our inner warrior.

I have found out that reading positive quotes and mottos can make your day brighter, braver, inspire you and give you more energy. Therefore I have started saving these from the TV, internet or books and after a few months I ended up with a nice collection of my favourite quotes. But, if you keep these in a folder of your PC you will hardly look at them again (the same as we do with our pictures).

I have therefore created a little piece of art – my very own inspirational collage picture! Every time I pass our hallway and need a small boost of energy I stop by and read some quotes that make me smile. Believe me – it works!

Basic MDF frames can cost from £6 for A4 up to £20 for A1 size. I used an old, unused picture frame I found in the loft. You can often pick up original, modern, vintage looking frames in auctions or charity shops for a few pounds.
