I was so saddened to hear at the end of May of the passing of one of my stamping pals who inspired my creativity by her wonderful designs that she created on challenges on Splitcoaststamper, CCEEStampers, and Crazy for challenges. Today we are honoring this sweet and creative woman with this blog hop. Below I have posted one of Joanne's creations. I always loved the dynamic looks of her black and white cards, her fabulous collection of silhouettes, and her great talent in the paper piercing catagory. So I used black and white for my card, a silhouetted group of wild flowers, and because I never mastered the art of paper piercing, I did kind of a faux piercing by dotting with black dots rather than punching through the paper.

Your beautiful art is your legacy to us, Joanne, and we miss you dearly. Although you and I never met in person, we were kindred spirits with many of the same loves in life, and I am so blessed our paths crossed in this life and I look forward to seeing you face to face in the next life. Save me a space on stamping row in Glory Land.
The next card in the hop is
