Hi Everyone
A special card and post today in honour of a lovely lady who sadly passed away recently .. .. Kath .. .. who was part of quite a few design teams and had a lovely blog called "Plain & Simple". Although Kath and her lovely creations were far from that!
Kath was a great blog friend who I never physically met. We only spoke to one another through our blogs and the emails we shared .. .. .. and yet we knew each other so well. I have lots of lovely memories of Kath and I hope she knew just how much I appreciated the years of friendship we shared.
As a very popular member of the Allsorts Challenge Blog design team, this week in Kath's memory, there is a special challenge. The theme is "Favourite Stamps" and was chosen by Kath months ago .. .. .. .. and there is also the option of "paper pieced flowers" which I know only too well was a technique that Kath really loved.
So here is my card .. .. .. especially for you Kath. Hope you approve of me going overboard with my paper-piecing. I fitted in as much as I could for you.
This used:
Image and Sentiment: Julie Hickey Designs "SKU JH1001" Friendship Blooms
Design Paper: Kaisercraft "Cherry Blossom" and First Edition Paper "Rose Garden"
Pearls and a Button
My Trusty Sewing Machine
and that is it Kath. Especially for you.
Thank you for our friendship, I miss you!

Hi Jules,
I am so pleased you have joined in our special tribute to Kath, she would have been so taken back by all the love that has been shared this week. Even more so by so many beautifully paper pieced creations people have made especially in her honour.
And I am certain she would have thoroughly approved of the card you have made here, it couldn't be more fitting.
I feel so lucky to have known her and even more so to have met her. In the last few weeks we chatted on the phone a few times and her sense of humour didn't leave her, one of the things I remember her saying during that time is "life can be rubbish at times" and it certainly was to take her so quickly.
Thank you so much for joining in with our Challenge for Kath and helping making it a special week.

Hi Jules
Sorry to hear of your team loss. Very sad losing a friend.
I am sure she will love your card, as it is beautiful.
I am doing a Craft Fair on Saturday and hoping this one will be better than the last two. Taking some Christmas bits as I have 2 x 6' tables, so have a mix of stash from the last 2 years.
Hope all is well with you and are you going to keep your wedding business?
Love and hugs,
Carol xxxxx

Hi Jules
I had a similar relationship with Kath & never met her physically. Really miss our email chats.

Very lovely card and great paper piecing - a fitting tribute to Kath. Always sad to lose friends even if they are ones we never actually meet in person.
Such a beautiful card and tribute to your friendship.

Fabulous card Jules, so happy you made a card for a memory of Kath.
Thank you for your entry over at at Allsorts;-))m
What a lovely tribute and card.
What a beautiful card, I love that paper piecing, it really enhances the look. I am now starting to realise that it is quite normal for you to use your sewing machine on your cards. I love it. I have been away for a few days so am a bit behind. I will catch up eventually xx
What a beautiful card Jules and a lovely tribute to Kath! I didn't know her, but almost feel like I did by all these lovely tribute cards to her. Yours is just stunning! Hugs, Brenda
