Remembering Penny Odell...

Hello there stamping friends,

I'm joining my fellow Heartfelt Creations Design Team members in our Monthly Blog Hop and this month, it's a difficult one...We're blogging and hopping in memory of a fellow HC designer and friend...

Penny Odell

Penny passed away December 13 and we're so saddened by her sudden passing.  She was a treasured member of the Heartfelt Creations Design Team and although I we didn't design on the same team/term, our Hearfelt DT family is touched deeply.

I'm sending prayers and blessings to Penny's family and closest friends as they mourn her loss.  

In planning my card specifically for Penny, I spent some time "visiting" with her through her beautiful creations on her blog...Her spirit spoke to me as I viewed her beautiful creations and noticed some of her favorite things...Although I never met her in person, I know that our love of stamping, cardmaking and inspiring others will continue to inspire and resonate to so many...

I selected some pink flowers...Yes, she loved working with Heartfelt Creations flowers, just as much as I do.  Purple...I don't often work in purple...but deep, rich plums are some favorites...I discovered this was also one of Penny's favorite colors.

Layers...Yes, like Penny, I share a love for lots of beautiful layers...

The sentiment/scripture spoke to me...No fear....She's HOME...  RIP Penny, you will be missed, your memory, treasured.
