This weekend we began to hear the news that we lost a very special member of our scrapbooking community.\u00a0 Here at The Shoppe<\/a>, it has been difficult to both accept that Amber Shaw<\/a> will no longer be able to encourage us with her kindness and positive attitude and inspire us with her designs, and also to know how to honor and remember her in a way that shows how much she is cherished here.\u00a0 Although it is hard, we know she would want us to remember her in the way she lived: as a bright light to many and with a willingness to be bold and take the next opportunity.<\/p>\n

And so today on the blog, we begin to celebrate her as a person and as a designer.<\/p>\n

One of the ways we would like to do this is to share with you some words from her creative team, as well as a favorite layout they made with her kits.\u00a0 Some of these ladies have worked with her for years, some are newer, but the common thread in all that has been said is that Amber was encouraging and kind to work with.\u00a0 From her team…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Amber was such a bright light to all who knew her, worked with her, called her friend. She was an amazing talent and will be missed greatly by all of us in the digi-scrap world.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>One of my favorite kits of Amber’s is the Make Rainbows Collection.\u00a0 I find myself going back to this collection over and over to use in bright, fun layouts, just like Amber was.<\/div>\n

Working with Amber has been one of the greatest pleasures I have experienced. As well as being amazingly talented, she was so caring, generous and always there for you. I am still heartbroken and trying to come to terms over this tragic loss.<\/div>\n

I’ve loved being on Amber’s team, writing kit descriptions, newsletters, and blog posts, for more than eight years (since she was Ruby Lane!). She created such beautiful designs and they kept getting better and better! She was a wonderful artist, a sincere believer, and a dear friend. Amber will be greatly missed.<\/p>\n

Amber was such a sweet person. She was kind and she would take time to get to know the members of her creative team. I am really going to miss her.<\/p>\n

Joining Amber’s\u00a0CT\u00a0was the beginning of a deep and wonderful friendship.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 She was encouraging, funny, creative, positive, kind, genuine, humble and the fastest typer I know.\u00a0\u00a0I am forever grateful for having the opportunity to know this beautiful woman.<\/p>\n

Amber had this way of making you feel like you were more than just a page on her creative team. I will greatly miss her beautiful soul and her gorgeous designs.<\/div>\n

Working with Amber was a dream come true. She was just the sweetest and made me feel welcome and part of her CT family immediately and her designs are so gorgeous which made it really easy to work with all of her kits. I will miss her dearly.<\/p>\n

Amber’s design aesthetic was what drew me in, but once I got to know her, I discovered that in addition to being incredibly talented in SO many ways, she was a warm, compassionate, funny, sweet, and supportive lady (Not to mention she was gorgeous and had amazing taste in music!). Amber’s passing leaves an indescribable void in the digi-scrap community, but I’m just so thankful to have gotten the privilege to know and work with her for the short time that I did.<\/p>\n

Amber always treated us as family. She talked and shared with us, many things beyond scrapbooking. I never met Amber in person but I feel that I knew her personally.<\/p>\n

I was fairly new to Amber\u2019s team, but she was so sweet and warmly welcomed me to her team. She was a dream to work with and her designs are as beautiful and easy to work with as she was, we have all lost an amazing gem!<\/p>\n

Back in 2012 I met Amber online and I’ve always admired her strongfast committment and protection of her family. That year, Amber made this kit called Just Devan with inspiration from her daughter, who helped pick and add lots of pink and sparkles. It’s a wonderful mother daughter time of bonding to be able to share a creative outlet together.<\/p>\n
