Good morning everyone! Danielle and I, as well as Rene, Cathylynn, Sandy and Kathy,
welcome you to a special Inventory Challenge today. Our theme this week is "trees". Since trees are a symbol of longevity, energy and strength, we are dedicating this week to my dear friend Jacque, one of the strongest,kindest and most generous women I have ever had the pleasure to meet. Jacque is the "tree", facing many adversities with such grace and dignity and bouncing back stronger than ever. Love you, Sweetie!!!!
Today, I am featuring a Stampscapes image, "Autumn Bank". I stamped the image with StazOn on glossy paper and colored it with Marvy inks. The gorgeous papers were designed by Kristine Moldenhauer Biseth for Inkido. I also used a Magnolia lace die.
Now, I would love to invite you to visit my other friends and teammates and view their tributes to Jacque.

Thank you so much for visiting my humble blog and leaving a comment.
Next week's theme will be "Among my favorite things..."
OMG!!! Christina, your card is MAGICAL, so full of beauty. I just adore this stampscape, the colors are colors of fall, my favourite season. I love how you showcased the image, on that cute tag with strings, your cluster is simply gorgeous, your layout and papers are just beautiful, I love love love. I must add something: GRACE, yessss, Jacque is graceful in her strenght, absolutely true, and look how graceful this row of trees is, in shapes, colors and just sinuous enough not to be straight, but determined to go on... quite a symbol there.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful day my friend.
I shall dance in the rain today in Montreal!
I have been up since 4 o'clock PST and I was wondering if you missed the Friday challenge.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful tranquil scene of the trees by the lakeshore. I love the colors you used. What a warm autumn feeling.
Your comments about Jacque are so wonderful. What an amazing lady. It was really nice to read on her blog that everything is going great. What fantastic news.
How many ways can you say OMG! The trees are gorgeous and the colors are out of this world. These colors are wonderful and I am so ready for Autumn. Wonderful design work. You move your colors around better than anyone I have ever seen Christina. Your scene is wonderful but I must tell you, I am always wowed by your design talent. Being with you guys is so much fun and I run to meet your challenges!!

Good Morning Christina and WOW waht a beautiful card that previews what is ahead of us in just a few weeks. Beautiful Autumn!!!! This stamp is gorgeous and your coloring is stunning. I agree with all your comments about our dear friend Jacque. And.... I see I have missed some of your other remarkable works of art while I was busy remodeling. All as gorgeous as ever.
