Tribute to Joanne

Welcome to my stop on the blog hop in tribute to Joanne Grzelak. While I never had the privilege to know Joanne, I am blessed to serve on a design team where she was a foundation member, and I've enjoyed roaming through her blog for wonderful inspiration for this post.

Here's what I created:

I chose to create something for the challenge with the ocean in it, and I was inspired by a card on her blog - here. I loved the lay-out of her card and I loved all of the dots she had in her sand.

The products I used for this card are from Elizabeth Craft Designs and are listed below. Be sure to head onto Liz Williams blog to continue the hop.
