In remembrance of a wonderful woman



On Christmas day we lost one of our beloved members of Shopping our Stash.  Leslie passed unexpectedly and it caught us all by surprise...we are putting together a tribute to this fabulous, creative and witty lady we called the Crooked Stamper....we will miss you greatly Leslie.

At Shopping our Stash we are all picking our favorite project by Leslie and posting it. Before creating this post, I had picked the same card as Carla - only in green, as that was the first time I "met" Leslie...we often had the same snark and sense of humour and there was more than one occasion on this blog that I had to go back and "re-make" my project of the week as we often came up with the same idea - even using the same stamp sets...I guess we were kind of kindred spirits that way, without even meeting in real life. It is hard to write this as her Christmas card arrived at my house this morning...may still change that to my favorite card as I posess it in real life, but that makes it just a little to real for me....we will miss you dearly Leslie...I hope you passed knowing that you were loved here in blogging and crafting world, and from the wonderful and caring words that your family has given us, it is beyond obvious that they loved you dearly as well.  Until we craft again my dear friend....

#65 - let it snow

This week's challenge at Shopping our Stash is called let it snow - use a snowman or snowflake on your project...I did both with this cased project off of pinterest...I loved the layout of this card and the ink on the one side so I had to copy it off of the internet...not sure where I saw it to give credit but I changed it a bit for my own preferences anyway...play along will you?

#64 - star light star bright

This week's challenge at the Opus Gluei is Star light, Star bright...use a star on your project...I am all done my Christmas cards, but need some upcoming birthday cards, so I directed my project that way...play along with us, will you?

#63 - ufo

This week's challenge at Shopping our Stash is to use something that is unfinished on your work station...these frames and birds were cut out for a card class that I was teaching this time last year at our local scrapbook store....I flapped them altogether and finished up a quick Christmas card...play along will you?
