Today's card is to honor Charlene Merrick (LilLuvsstampin' on SCS), who lost her battle with cancer at the beginning of this year. Charlene was a talented crafter and an inspiration to all that knew her. I was lucky to have met her during our time together on the SCS CAS design team, back in 2011.
Yesterday would have been Charlene's birthday, so her fellow DT members at CCEE arranged a tribute to Charlene on their blog. I have had this beautiful Christmas card by Charlene in my favorites folder for a couple of years, so thought it would be good to CASE it for the tribute.

What a lovely tribute! Love the 2 sided focal panel and fun die cuts. And I swear that those PP sentiments are the perfect font for any CAS card. I'm sure Charlene is looking down, pain and disease free and smiling.

Gorgeous tribute to our sweet friend Charlene. She would have loved your card and left you the nicest comment. TFS Loll. One of my fondest memories on SCS is our time together with Charlene on the CAS Challenge DT :-) I hope to play soon. Hugs, Nancy

How lucky you were to have met Charlene in person - I was only ever able to correspond with her from a distance. You've made such a gorgeous card to honour her memory.
