In loving memory of Christy Riopel – here is a page Christy created that we never got around to publishing and we no longer have the supply list for.

Tell your story. All the details. It is what you leave behind and your friends and family will cherish them like gold.

Here is a blog post from Christy from a few years ago for you to enjoy. Written in Christy’s words.

On Sunday August 21 our beloved colleague, Christy Riopel, passed away. Christy was a contributing editor, designer and writer for Creative Scrapbooker Magazine for the past 6 years.
