We are heartbroken to share that we lost a beautiful member of our scrapbooking community last week. Josie Wagner was a long time member of our community and on a number of creative teams. She was very creative and made beautiful pages in a variety of styles. She suffered from a stroke over the Christmas holidays and passed away a few days later.

Her family has expressed how much Josie loved the scrapbooking community and have invited anyone who feels led to leave
messages for them or for Josie on Josie’s Facebook Profile.

 

“Josie joined our community in the fall of 2015, and she was friendly & kind every time I had the pleasure of speaking with her online. I  always looked forward to seeing her beautiful creations in the gallery, and also at many of Studio events over the years. Lovely people like Josie are exactly what makes the digital scrapbooking community so special for so many people, and we will miss having her as part of our online family.”

I have been blessed to have Josie in my life this last year. She was one of the first people to join my creative team, and she has always been willing to help me brainstorm new ideas or offer feedback when I was struggling. She was a beautiful artist, brilliantly creative, and most
of all, a compassionate friend. I will miss her very much!”

“I am so sad, Josie will leave a big void in our digiscrap world.
She was in my creative team and had a lot of talent. Her pages were very beautiful and often original.
She was a lovely and generous person.
I will miss you, Josie.”

“It’s still so hard to believe that Josie is gone. We’ve
known each other online for over 5 years and I will miss her very much – she was always friendly and generous, I will miss her humor and our
chats … and also her wonderful layouts. My Creative Team was the first she joined and her great talent and creativity have earned her many more CT spots in the past years. She was also an active member in our forum and our challenges, always ready with words of praise and encouragement for others. Her absence will leave a big hole in the
scrapbooking community.
Josie – I miss you and will remember you fondly. Rest in Peace, my friend.”

“I am still in shock that Josie is gone. Josie only joined my CT last spring, but I have always loved her layouts since I first saw her in our community. She was an incredibly creative and kind person. Someone you would want as a friend. Josie lived very close to where I was born, so having her around felt like home.
Dear Josie, I will miss you so much!”
