In memory of Linda Palmer

It is with sadness that I post this card,  I belatedly learned of the death of a long time SplitCoastStamper  friend, Linda Palmer.  We exchanged images and comments over a long period of time.  Then the talented Linda became a designer for blog challenges, and her name was often on the list of winners.  I think my best memory of Linda is seeing all of the cards she created for grand and great grand children.  (If you know of a challenge for which she was a designer, could you please mention it?)
The image is SU's Garden Collage, and the sentiment DRS.  I used bits of lace, some DCWV DP, and punched flowers with gems.  I embossed the mat of Spellbinders' labels die.
