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...
