In Honor of Lisa Lynne...

Hello stamping friends!

Today is a day some have set aside to honor a dear stamping sister.

I was shocked to learn a few days ago that one of my fellow Heartfelt Creations Design Team Alumni sisters passed away suddenly.  It was a total shock.  I remembered reading her blog and seeing her beautiful HC card posted the day before.  I spent time this week just trying to make sense of it all and trying hard to believe that it was actually for real.  As a fellow stamper, I'm sure you know the heartache when you learn of the loss of a fellow stamping friend.  It's quite difficult to share the significance of a loss of a friend you have never met in person.  The people in my "real world" often have no idea how people I've met online through a shared passion of stamping and praise have made an impression on me and have helped make me the person I am today.

I never had the opportunity to meet Lisa Lynne in person, but I was enamoured by her cheerful spirit and her smile when we shared comments and posts on Splitcoast.  Check out her gallery on Splitcoast here:  llwright.   After meeting her on Splitcoast, I discovered that I was so lucky to have been able to call her a DT sister on the Heartfelt Creations design team.  Lisa Lynne's style always envoked sunshine, happiness and...a ribbon of love to tie it all together, it seemed.  I felt a personal connection with her designs and they felt almost like I had been right there beside her creating and chatting...I sure wish I had the chance to get to meet her in person.

Please hop along with her stamping family as we honor her contributions to the world of stamping, the friendships that were made, her loving spirit, and her cheerful smile.  I pray she is at peace and is watching over those she loved the most.  Good Bye, friend...

    Kerry, you put into words what lots of us are feeling since hearing this sad news. It is hard to explain the bonds we form in our crafting community to non crafters. Thanks for arranging this Memory Chain, giving us the chance to say our goodbye to a special lady.
    Your card is beautiful.

    Thank you so much for hosting the blog hop. I didn't know Lisa Lynne but her work was inspiring. Yes, the crafing world has lost a good crafter. I know that her family is feeling her loss much more. My sympathy and prayers go out to her husband and to her family. May God give you peace and comfort as your memories of Lisa Lynne fill your hearts and your mind.

    A beautiful person shares herself so that others will have more beauty in their lives. Sounds like Lisa shared her beauty with many. Thank you for caring. Asking God to hold the hearts of the many hurting with the passing of Lisa. God has a plan, that is all I need to accept. Amen
