Welcome to the May 2021 Candy Hearts Blog Hop! Today we are honoring Linda Krueger, a member of my Candy Hearts team who passed away unexpectedly twelve days ago, by CASEing some of her projects from her blog, The Stamp Coach. Linda was a talented card maker, a wonderful teacher, and a bright light in the world. She was fluent in multiple languages. And she always had a positive outlook and a terrific laugh. She was a dear friend and I miss her very much.

Here is Linda’s namesake:
Linda Ruth
My husband and I had just adopted 3 kittens when Linda died. We had been thinking of naming the female Ruth, but then we decided on Linda Ruth. It isn’t the same as naming a child after her, I know, but it’s the closest I can get.
