Card Of The Week – A Beautiful Life
Happy WOYWW to you, dear friends! This week, I was saddened and shocked to learn that our dear Aussie friend Eliza of Queenartoypia is no longer with us. Through the magic of the Internet, and the fellowship of WOYWW, Eliza blessed and enriched so many of our lives.
My heart always brightened whenever I visited her and Yoda the Cat or found a comment from her on my blog. I’m happy that Eliza spent her last moments with her friend DeDe of Dizzartology, doing things that brought her joy.
This week’s card – A Beautiful Life – celebrates the beauty of a life well lived and is bursting with the vibrancy of the bright summertime colors of pinks, fuchsias and purples and the flowers that Eliza so loved.
The quote – stamped from Unity Stamp Company’s awesome All About Hope stamp set – reads:
Beauty Comes From A LIFE Well Lived.
As we remember Eliza and celebrate her life, may we also remember that the times we spend with one another are precious.
I intend to spend each moment that I can with the people I love, doing what truly matters.
I hope that you will too.
Now it’s your turn to share your creations with us! What have you created or acquired this week? Whether you’re showing off your desk, sharing your latest acquisitions, or spotlighting your latest creation – be sure to share it with our creative community at our weekly parties as well!

What a wonderful tribute to Eliza and a perfect reminder to all of us. I loved the card just based on its looks, but it took on a whole new level of beauty after I’d read your post. I really like how you focused on the positive side of life and how the card is bursting with happy colors and optimism. I didn’t know Eliza, but your words made me think of those who are dear to my heart and made me want to hug them a little tighter! Thank you for such a touching post and for sharing this tender creation with us here at the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog.
