Club Scrap Hopes Blog Hop: Memorial to Gosia

Hi,

I am sure you have seen some beautiful artwork

 at Tricia's

The Efficient Crafter Blog.

Now it is my turn to share my projects for you

with this months Club Scrap Hopes papers.

My blog post is a special one this time.

It is a memorial to my friend and 

colleague Gosia Orszulik,

who died a brutal and unnecessary death 

and with these projects I want 

to pay tribute to her life.

First I have made some scrap pages

with the few pictures I have of her. 

Usually you don't make pictures of

colleagues at work, but when you

play P365 (making a picture every day)

you sometimes do. Now I am glad I have these pictures.

Here the two pages together.

I choose to make ALSB pages 11 & 12

It seems like this kit is just perfect for her

and the sentiments are so appropriate.

I tore of some of the paper to symbolize the 

sudden way she died. She was only 32 and had

so much going for her.

This is the card I made for her parents. All the co-workers

have written inside. It is a folded 8,5 x 11 inch piece

of paper folded in half. 

The flowers are punched out and the candle is made out

of  a woodsie, painted to go with the papers.

This is a poem I typed with the computer and printed out.

As I also always have something with a technique for

you, I made two card with a technique Junkie

technique for you. The technique is called: 

Pressed Stains and you find it in the June/July 2013

newsletter if you are a Technique Junkie member.

You need an embossing folder

distress stains

and a water spritzer.

You ink the embossing folder with two

or three colors of your choice,

spritz a little water on top and 

add your paper.

Run the folder through the machine.

You get some beautiful background papers

this way. I added some vintage photo all around

the paper with a blending tool.

For the cards I used 1 taupe 8,5 x 11 inch cut in half

and some panels made out of my pops 

(pound of paper that I always have as an extra)

I also used it to stamp  the sentiments.

The sentiments are so true and appropriate in this case.

Here the finished cards.

I have been doodleing a little

on the sentiment.

Now for more inspiration hop over to

and see what she has come up with for you

this time.
