Sad News About A Fellow Designer

Sandy Tice January 2008




Those of you who knew Sandi are aware that Sandi had survived breast cancer twice, suffered from severe nerve damage from reconstructive surgery and developed lung cancer in December a couple years ago. She fought hard and continued to live life to the fullest as much as she could.

Right after she was diagnosed with lung cancer and was going through chemo, she pulled herself out of bed to go serve water to the runners in the Breast cancer Marathon in her city. She told me she couldn't not do it because "they raced for me."

Even as the cancer metatisized through her body and brain, Sandi clung to life. She and Gary made a trip to see the oldest daughter summer before last and stopped by here to visit with me and my husband. We went out for a Chinese buffet and she had us all laughing.

She planned her youngest daughter's wedding while going through some kind of lazer knife treatment for lesions on her brain and on the day of the wedding, she dressed up, put a hat on her bald head and went to celebrate. In photos from the wedding, Sandi looked radiant, her inner beauty shining through. This past year as treatment options ran out, she did her best to stay positive, thankful for every minute with family and friends and even continued to work a little when she could.

Yesterday I received an e-mail from a friend of Sandi's (guess Gary was too broken up to think to let me know) and learned that Sandi returned home to God on 11/18. She was buried yesterday. You can read her obituary and send condolences to her family by going to this address:

The scrapping community is going to miss her. I know I sure will.

Fun with Glamouricious by Moo's Scrap World

What a fun kit this is! Very girly and glamourious as the name implies. I found this at Southern Comfort Scraps here:
http://southerncomfortscraps.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_182&products_id=614

Done up in pink, purple and black, you will find lots of fashion accessories and beauty items. I wanted to create the effect of s boutique window display with this layout:



I really liked the effect of the awning so used it again in this layout:



Don't yet have a good photo of my grand daugher for a Princess page but came across an old photo of me at about age 5:


saved the page as a Qp for adding Larkin's photo one day.

And finally I had to play with making a tag:

I saved it with the photo areas blank for my friend, Joni, who created the kit but added Posers by http://dicvicbarnes.com and a backing of one of Joni's papers to show you how it would look complete.

Although I didn't think I would, since I've never gone to a state fair, I really got into playing with this theme and created a little something for each of my lines, including the one I share with Echo. Close-up previews of my portions are below"
