Kidding, Im not famous, but I feel like I am.
Between all my PSF’s, and the AMAZING Design Teams I was asked to work for I feel truly blessed!
I feel like it’s MYTIME! LOL! By that I mean my time to SHINE. To work for what I want, and make it happen.
I’ve been getting acceptances for publication, left and right. Im really happy cause I have worked hard to get here, and put alot of myself in each design. To see my work in a magazine is just a dream come true. To create anything people actually want to look at is always rewarding. I made some stamping goals this New Year (as I always do) and have exceeded my OWN expectations. Only thing left is to make a COVER for one of my publications. Still got 6 months left.
Well this month I am SO close. I made it to an advertisement for a magazine. The photos change, so give it a few seconds, and you will see my dog card! Check this out ! I didn’t even know! My friend Lindsey emailed me with HER excitement! How cool is that?!
Now you can also see me everyweek! Read below-
Here is my biographyfor Green Grass Stamps . So, if you want to learn some “different” things about me, check it out. What is super cool about this blog is they are going to feature a blog exclusive design with their AWESOME stamps EACH DAY! So, check it out! FRESH, new layouts, and scrapbook pages (no scrap pages from me thank god) from so UBER talented ladies. For those of you who blog hop this is one to check since it will have a new idea each day. I of course, will have a feature there each week as well. You will have to go there for that though-
In the meantime Tammy gave me permission to show you my first, of many designs. I did for her.
I was in the mind set of Shoot For The Moon!
Now this is funky, and so cool! I was thinking of reaching for your dreams. There is a sentiment that reads, “You’ve reached for the stars, now go for the moon.” Now that was what I was thinking, and is totally my current view on my life right now-hence boring you with my excitement!!! Sorry- it is MY blog though so I have the power to just ramble uncontrollably! In my head I even tell my self to shut up, but my mouth (or in this case fingers) just keep on going……
YOU as a reader have the power to scan over my rambling and get to the part you want to actually read!
Back to the card-
I used the Holy Tomoli stamp set for the rocket, and Card Greetings for the congrats sentiment. That set is just AMAZING-. The cloud burst is actually a “rain cloud” turned up side down! The paper is by Bazzill in breathtaking, and the designer paper is Seeing Stars by 3 bugs in a Rug. LOVE their stuff.
Cuttlebug star was used in the corner. You cannot see that I outined the cloud puff, and the stars with my Sakura glitter pen. So its pretty cool IRL. The key tag punch, and horizontal punch were used for the tag. The colors on this are close to SU! Almost Amethyst, Certain Celery, Green Galore, Basic Black-
Remember SU! star brads-here they are. I wish they still sold them in JUST silver though- Gotta love the Crop-a-Dile for eyelets. I had quit using them all together till I got that baby.
Shockingly I learned its not for everyone! For instance if you are like my friend Debbi- a tiny little person (to me that is like under 5’5, as I am 5’11), your hands may be too small for grasping it. SHOCKING I KNOW!
Thanks for reading. I’m just waiting on Jason to edit the photos Debbi sent me from our visit to post them here for everyone.
WHY dont I have my own photo’s you ask? Well, my freakin camera died! RIGHT AT THE IMPORTANT PART!
So check in soon. I have another day of “work”, and yet more holiday stuff to accomplish, so I hope to update with some samples soon!
Love ya!

WAHOO! It IS your time Lauren, and you deserve it!! I LOVE the cards you have on the GreenGrass site!! Congrats honey! 🙂
Way to go Lauren!! Your creativity is wonderful. It is definitly your time to shine girl!! I love your card with the space ship. I don’t think I could have come up with that in a million years. Wish I could keep up with the PSF thread but life is just to hectic and I think it would cost me a fortune. I do always find a second to check out your blog to see what your up to and to check on how Alexa is doing. Keep the good stuff coming!!
Of course you’re famous! People recognize you in Michael’s for crying out loud. 🙂 I’m so happy that things are working out so well and “people” recognize your increditble talent. I honestly don’t know how you find the time to do it all! What do you mean you’re waiting for Jason to edit the pictures?? No editing necessary, just post ’em!
Congratulations, and I’m keeping everything you send me cuz mytime originals will be worth tons ‘o money some day soon!!

Congrats to you Lauren. It’s about time everything turned around for you. Love all your creations. Keep them coming.
Congratulations Girl!!! I am *so* happy for you… I knew way back when we started exchanging cards that you’d be “famous” someday! 🙂 Doin’ the happy dance for you!
Checked out the ad – how awesome is that! Way too cool! Loved the card, too – it’d make a great boys bday card if you change the greeting! I’m so excited for you!
