A Sweet Sentiment from Laurel Beard!


Hi bloggers, and happy Friday to you! :)  I had such a great time meeting new people in CHA this year and also seeing remembered faces, as well as seeing some fabulous new product! But, as the poet John Howard Payne so simply and beautifully stated, there's no place like home sweet home!  So with this in mind, I was especially touched by this sweet card by Laurel Beard.  It was such a pleasure to finally meet her in person at the show!  What a sweetheart! :)

If you'd like to make one of these adorable cards too, be sure to pick up the adorable Sentiment Sampler from Paper Smooches, Penny Black's Victorian Home stamp, and Copic Markers to start!


The picture above is from left to right, (our amazing design team lead of the Simon Says Stamp Challenge) Lorraine Aquilina, (the super talented and sweet) Laurel Beard, & myself.  We are at the Lawn Fawn booth, inside the life sized 'Say Cheese' frame.. such adorable innovation! Love it!  Speaking of... I can't wait to share with you all of the gorgeous Lawn Fawn Stamp releases! They're all fabulous!

Supply List for the top card:
