Lauri's Stampin' Corner

We had so much fun decorating Faith's money jar yesterday. Just the right craft to do with a 2 year old...simple! We had a jar and I used scraps from my scrap bin, then Faith added the stickers from a Simply Scrappin' kit that I got last year. They work wonderful for adding that simple, easy touch that even a 2 year old can do. Ingredients: Designer Series Paper Stack Subtles Collection, Timeless Type Junior Alphabet Dies, Simply Scrappin' Kit Flower Stickers, sticky strip tape A simple little project, but with lots of impact...especially if you're 2 years old!! Have fun stampin'! Lauri

My grandson, Michael Laurence (after Larry) was born on Monday at 9:42 AM. He's absolutely perfect! Katie and baby are doing great and came home from the hospital yesterday. Faith is having a little bit of a struggle adapting to having a baby brother around and taking some of Mommy and Daddy's attention, but for the most part she's been so, so good! She's so proud of him and gives him lots of kisses! This is a picture of a birthday card that I gave to Katie (wanted to keep it in the family since this is one of my favorite cards!) for her birthday on Saturday. We did this card at a stamp camp last summer. It's so bright and cheery and just right for Katie's 30th birthday!
