SEIZE THE BIRTHDAY and COLOR HUES in honor of Lindsey Martin-Penny

Hello Crafters,
We are deeply saddened to share the news that we lost our treasured friend and teammate, Lindsey, last week, following her hard-fought battle with cancer. Lindsey was well-known for her amazing creativity, witty sense of humor, and immense capacity to support and encourage her design team members and challenge participants. The crafting community will miss her shining light.

Today The Seize the Birthday Team is playing along with their Sister Challenge-Color Hues where Lindsey was also a Design Team Member. This challenge was to be hosted by Lindsey, so the Design Team wants to honor and celebrate her beautiful, creative life by sharing "Lindsey Inspired" projects using her Blue and Purple combination, along with things she loved the most, as inspiration. We hope that you will join us as we pay tribute to our dear friend and teammate.
 
Here are a few of her favorite things:
humor, cats
gardening/flowers
love of reading
friendship
wine
tea
*If you are a regular at Color Hues and/or Seize the Birthday you might also know that Lindsey loved Clean and Simple cards too.
We would love for you to join us and you can find all the details along with inspiration from both of the Design Teams over at the Color Hues blog below.  
 



I can picture her in her garden cutting the flowers to bring into the house.
I used The Grettery: Pitcher-esque for the vase
Pinkfresh: Beautiful Blooms
the Greetery:  Sentiment Suite; thinking of you

Heart Hugs, friends!

Colleen I'm so sorry to take so long to come and visit, things have been crazy for me the past couple weeks. Your card is so delightful, I just love those vibrant flowers in the vase. Lindsey would have loved it too, such a lovely tribute to her! I am still missing her so much, I check my phone out of habit I may never stop. Have a good week! xo
