Cards for Ally - Instagram Hop

 

Ally Santaclara was a beloved friend of many in the papercrafting community.  Her sudden passing in December left many of us with broken hearts.  One day we were chatting online and the next... she was gone.  But not forgotten.

 

Her posts and messages were always popping with personality and friendship.  Her design creations reflected that warmth.  Andy, her cat (a female cat named after a tv personality, Anderson Cooper - I'm sure there's more to the story lol), often made appearances and I looked forward to those posts too.  I'm sorry that I didn't get to know her even more or meet in real life.

 

But this is a celebration of her life.  We've banded together to share our cards and creations in memory of Ally.   And... as Ally's FB and Instagram pages were titled "Can't Wait for Friday", we thought posting on a Friday was a fitting tribute to our sweet friend.


Ally and I shared a love of colouring, Copic Markers and furbabies 💖.  I picked an image of a girl crafting (or trying lol) with her beloved cat and coloured it up with my Copics.  I tried to give the cat a tabby look like her Andy.

 

So here's my card -
