Before we get to our CCEE challenge for this week, we have something very sad to let you know. Our dear team member, Joanne Grzelak, passed away unexpectedly on Saturday morning. Joanne had been on a leave of absence for a number of months due to health issues, but had intended to come back and play with us, shortly. Joanne was always so very supportive and was much loved in the stamping community. We will miss her so much. Farewell, dear friend. Your beautiful work delighted and inspired us week after week.
May is apparently Barbecue Month and the 28th of May is Hamburger Day so our hostess, Frances Bryne, has asked the CCEE Stampers to think BBQ's and/or Hamburgers when creating our cards this week …
I went ahead and included both with this adorable set from Newton's Nook Designs called Winston's BBQ which was a gift to me from CCEE DT member, Kelly McKown-Santi. Thank you, Kelly!

I had read about Joanne last month. So sad that another SCS friend has passed. She is one of the few ladies I have gotten to meet IRL. It was surely a pleasure. The first thing that caught my eye was the bold sketch and red matting. It really makes it pop. Winston is one of my favorite bears as well.
