Just a simple hand-lettered CAS card today. I went with "YOU" for Toni's challenge today. This will go to my friend, Christine's husband. I don't really know him, but with two kids and his wife in her 10th week in the ICU, he needs all the strength and encouragement he can get. I send her a lot of cards, but I can't forget that he needs support too.
I found this quote on Pinterest and I used my ExactlyWrite address guide to draw out lines for the saying. My spacing ended up a little crazy, but I like how it came out anyway.

Beautiful lettering, Jen! Not only is this sentiment perfect for the number of times the word "you" is used, but very uplifting for your friend as well!

Definitely a great card for your friend's husband and he is sure to appreciate it. Such a trial he is enduring. Wishing the best for your friend.

Perfect in it's simplicity - and a very caring out reach to your friend's husband. We often forget the the spouse & family are on the same rollercoaster ride as the person who is hospitalized!

I remember your wonderful lettering in the hand-writing challenge. This is beautiful - it reminds me of the box I bought to keep some of my pencils in, which also has inspirational words. Yes - carers need care too and I am sure this will be much appreciated.
