Lauri's Stampin' Corner

It's so fun to get out the cards I swapped for at convention and check them all out again! Here's more of the sample cards that I received: This one is really purple in real life and has lots of sparkle to it...my photos aren't the best today. The Ronald McDonald set! We got this stamp set FREE at the end of convention! How cool is that?!! For every set that is sold $3.00 is donated to the Ronald McDonald house! I love the split in this one! I didn't really think I liked this set until I saw this card! It's hard to see in the photo, but the middle cake is sparkling! Love a little bling! Love the colors in this one! My photo doesn't do this one justice...the pink is much more vivid and the shoe stands out better with the emboss resist technique. The new camping set! I can see lots of scrapbook pages using this one! One more sample for you today with a card that I made. Again, another sample that I saw on Pinterest that I lo...

I was able to attend convention the end of July, thanks to my girls, Jamie and Katie. They paid for my registration fee, and for our room while in Salt Lake! I am one blessed Mom!! I learned so much, took tons of photos, toured the Stampin' Up! facilities for the first time, walked miles and miles, swapped cards and scrapbook pages, and all in all had a BLAST!! We got lots of FREE stamp sets, classes for stamping with them, and classes for the business end of things. My friend Loretta and I hung out together most of the time during the day, and Larry went fishing, then I was able to spend some much needed time with my husband in the evenings. What fun! Thank you so much Jamie and Katie!! Love you bunches!! The theme for the year was I am....and you filled in the blank. I am so thrilled that I was able to attend!!! I signed up ahead of time for a couple of organized swaps, one for scrapbooking and one for cards. This is the swap that I made for the card group...  I u...

I know it's been a while, but it has been more than crazy around here!! I just don't know where the time goes! I really appreciate the time it takes to devote to the writing and photographing for blogs! They really can eat up a lot of time...time that I just haven't had.  My grandkids, that we moved here to be near, have moved to Tucson, AZ (oh, how I miss them) and we have had to find a new place to live.  What a job that has been! We have moved in with some friends for now, and Loretta loves to stamp too! We've been working on her new crafting space and finding just the right place for everything!  I have been making and crafting and scrapbooking and designing projects for my clubs, but have just not had the time to photograph all of them and post them here. I will try to do some catch up! This first project is one that I made with the Stampin' Up! fabric. I found a picture of these on Pinterest and the demonstrator that made them was kind enough ...
