Ocean tribute for Joanne



Hi everyone ♥

Today I'm participating in a special 'In Memoriam' blog hop for a design team sister
that sadly passed away.
We are joining together to celebrate the life of a beautiful soul
and sharing cards inspired by the things she loved in life!


If you are hopping along, you would have come from Rebecca's blog.

As many of you may have already heard by now,
 our friend and fellow Design Team member passed away suddenly on the 25th May 2019.
Joanne had been battling a few health issues recently 
so she hadn't played along with the challenges for a few months,
 but she was looking forward to getting back into her stamp cave to play again.
Joanne was very much loved in the stamping community and was very active on Splitcoaststampers going by the name of Jojot
 Joanne had two blogs The Inky Ocean Gazer and The Inky Ocean Gazer 2.

 Today we have asked the members of the two challenge Design Teams 
she was in ~ the CCEE Stampers and Crazy 4 Challenges
and a few special stamping friend to join us
 in this special tribute blog hop to our stamping friend by either.

It's humbling to offer a card in her honor today and I went with a sunset at the ocean. I've used 2 Unity stamps to create my card today ~
Not be perfect and the sentiment from A Chance Every Day
as I thought they went lovely together.
I masked the image and created the sky/sand with distress oxide inks.

Here is the entire hop list if you'd like to stop by and see what was made for Joanne!


If you'd like to create a card, on the CCEE Stampers blog
there is a linky spot where you can create a card in her honor.
 From here, you'll head to the talented Karen's blog.

Rest In Peace, Joanne ♥

Thanks for stopping by ...
Big hugs, bigger blessings♥
