Oh what a beautiful board you have~~~ pens, Audrie. I could spend hours reading about each one and days creating cards. I didn't have to search long for the spark of my inspiration. I adore Tiffany Blue. And I couldn't resist playing in the Featured Stampers Gallery of the week, where I found this fun card The Sweet Life.
I used a similar layout, changed my quote and colors, added a bit of chenille trim. The dp was dry embossed with on of Tim's '50's style folders. The beautiful quill pen was stamped twice and fussy cut and popped onto the hand.
Hope you remember [U] are an original, unique, special, loved, 1 of a kind. And I am grateful to have you share my life! Thanks so much for stopping by, be blessed

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE that sentiment, Susan. That could be said of all of your cards....and probably you too! : ) Perfect "pen in hand" image for your collage style card.

I love, love, love that sentiment! I love your eclectic mix of elements here.....the wonderful hand with feather pen and the ink and the circles, and the yarn bow!

That quill pen stamp is wonderful for this challenge! The sentiment is a bit of wisdom we all would do well to keep in mind. (but mostly the younger generation of course) :-) Love your card and its many details. TFS
