Lauri's Stampin' Corner

This has been a hard page for me to scrapbook. When we decided to move to be closer to grandchildren, I didn't realize how hard it would be on me to say good-bye to my dear, dear friends back in SD. We shared lots of tears, and this picture was taken after we had been crying, so you will notice our red eyes and noses from our tears. Oh what dear friends and how I miss them! I guess you could call this page therapy for me! Thank you Ellie and Susan for all the years you've just loved me for me, for all the years of praying me through the struggles of everyday life, and for all the years of being my best friends! I love you dearly and cherish our friendship. I know that even though miles separate us now, that we will be Forever Friends! Here's a couple of close ups for the details on the page. I added a hidden journal piece that slides out of the side of the picture. I just had too much to say about our friendship to fit it into just a couple of sentences! I wrote out my

Faith loves the snow so much! When it was snowing last week, she stood at the window and said, "Snow harder! I want to go sledding!" The scrapbook page I made yesterday is with pictures that were taken in Feb of this year of her playing in the snow, so no, it hasn't snowed that much here yet! Sledding will have to wait for another day! Did you figure out that the tall snowman on the end with the snowflake and dot of paper is my exclamation point? Now that I've told you, I hope you can see it! Here's a close up of it. When I cut the letters with my Big Shot, I also cut them out of a piece of the cardboard that comes in the back of the DSP papers. I always save those to recycle them. It adds a little lift to the letters and to the backs of my snowmen. Here's the ingredients list for you. Ingredients: Stamp Set: Snow Much Fun Paper: Whisper White, Bashful Blue 12 x 12 cardstock, Brights Designer Series Paper Pack, Pacific Point, Melon Mambo Ink: Basic Black, Bas

What a fun weekend we had! We made cards on Saturday for an awesome Christmas workshop! We made three different cards and I had a fourth one ready to go, but we just plain ran out of time.  A couple of the ladies hadn't stamped before, so I had so much fun starting from the beginning and showing them how easy and fun stamping can be! They loved it!! I know they will be joining us again for the next one. What even makes it better, is that I put the order together last night and it's already heading our direction! WOW! That's a new record I think! FAST! Better yet, since I've moved to Elko, there's only one day that we have to wait for it!! YIPPEE!! I love it when UPS shows up to the door...especially if it's with a Stampin' Up! order. Here's another beautiful Christmas card: Ingredients: Stamp Set Pines and Poinsettias, Season of Joy Paper: Very Vanilla, Crumb Cake, Cherry Cobbler Ink: Crumb Cake Accessories: Chocolate Chip marker, Always Artichoke mar
