As always, I found a quote I knew I could illustrate artwise.
The quote was also one I found quite appealing, since I am a big fan of Carl Sagan, who is in my opinion, one of the greatest astronomer's of all time.I'm sure you can read the quote:
I ran the used file folder through my printer after I chose the Rubber Stamp font in my word processing program.Imagination will often carry us to worlds that never were. But without it we go nowhere.
--Carl Sagan
One of the "worlds" got the challenge number.A final look before I link this to the Craft Barn challenge. Materials used include a used file folder I misted with my handmade shimmering spray mists, circles cut from sand paper, and red circles left over from another project.Thanks to all who visited last fortnight. I was able to visit everyone, but as always cannot leave comments to those on Facebook, Flickr, or Fiona Spain.

Carl Sagan was such an inspiring educator. An imagination brings a lot to life. I know people live perfectly fine lives with little imagination, but for me it lets me go places and be things that aren't possible in real life. Thanks for show-casing that quote :)
Love the circles! The quote is wonderful as well. I stink at remembering to use quotes. Likely because my computer is not near mu art zone. :)
Great interpretation of a great quote, which I also came across before settling on my original idea.
A fab interpretation of this great quote! I love all things with circles... circles and all round things are beutiful to me!
Have a good beginning of the new week Elizabeth... hugs to Bleubeard!
Fabulous page, love the background and the colours. The circles are so perfect for the quote. :)
Very awesome choice of quote and I am totally with you in the Carl Sagan fanclub. I love the background you created and all the little 'worlds' are perfect for this quote of course.
Looking forward to the new challenge ((Hugs))
Have always loved that quote and you have done it justice with your page.
This is a great quote, and love the page. Those red dots (they look kind of fuscia from my computer) really make everything pop. When you say the sandpaper and dats are cut out, do you mean with scissors, or a punch? They are so perfect that if they are cut with scissors I am in complete awe of your precision snipping skills!
Oh I totally get it Elizabeth...the quote is marvellous, and the way you've illustrated it makes perfect sese to me when one knows who's quote it is! Also, back to being myself .... love the colours!
Oh I meant to say.. I wonder how many others have managed a 'nowhere' page..when I read your title I almost recoiled!
I have this quote saved in my folder of digital quotes I use at the end of my blog posts. It is one of my favourites too. Love the planetary design
A great depiction of a great quote! Lovely colours too!
Great quote and you illustrated it really well. I think you are getting more abstract in you pages. Looking good

Hello stranger, not visited for a while (oh how I have missed your inky mess) then I couldn't believe it when your blog popped up on my pinterest feed because someone pinned one of your lovely journal blogs!
Reminded me what a small world this is :-)

That certainly IS a wonderful quote E and you've illustrated it beautifully too...you use file folders in such great ways!
I keep hoping to get back on the horse and join in the Q&L challenge again. Better do more than "hope" I guess ;-)
Happy new art week to you.

I love the idea of using sandpaper.
Still struggling to find my quote, but I thought I better comment before I get way behind again!
DH is a big Carl Sagan fan, too. The "world" are perfect for this quote!
Oooh I love the colours on this - your planets are beautiful.
I really like how you illustrated this fabulous quote. The circles are striking and I love the spritzed background.
Perfect illustration for a great quote. Loving all those worlds!
Fun way to illustrate the quote - a good one by the way!
A great quote and your altered cover fits it perfectly. love the spray effect background and the sandpaper worlds
A fabulous page and a great quote. Just wonderful.
Stunning background which is perfect for a Carl Sagan quote about the Universe, wonderful entry for the challenge Elizabeth :-) xxx
A lovely interpretation of of an excellent quote.
