I am so happy that there is one more left, for Alexis. WOW, that is so fantastic. I think of her and your family often. I hope you know I never get tired of hearing how she is. That is the one thing that I love about your blog, is your family, and wonderful thoughts!

Hey Girl ~ Sorry I haven’t been by to comment lately. I love this fairy bella and the way you colored it! I adored your tribute to your mom…what a sweet daughter. Speaking of which…I am going to have a grandson for my first grandbaby!!! We were quite shocked, because we knew it was a girl…He surprised us! Here’s hoping you and yours stay healthy and well

Lauren, you are becoming such a **Rock Star** in the world of stamping and paper crafts, and you certainly deserve it.

When I saw all the work you put into the Papertrey launch post with all their new sets, it just totall BLEW me away with all your adorable cards and altered items.

Then just to add another layer of icing on the cake, when I saw your beautiful tribute to your Mom and all the Bella images you used, telling the story, it teared me up and just really left me in AWE of how miraculous your designs and ideas have grown Maybe it’s because you have open access to your other **Obcession**~~ your specific brand of coffee, Dunken Donuts Coffee ~ maybe that has opened the flow of blood to the front lobe of your brain where all your creativity comes from. Geee if I drink that brand of coffee, same number of cups as you do in a day, will my creative juices start flowing and blowing everyone out of this world with my stuff??? haaaaa I could only wish and dream.

Congrats Laruen on a truely wonderful job and how you constantly are moving forward and conquer each creation and technique with such ease and grace.

You are my Hero :0)

Hi Lauren,

I too look forward to your blog every day and just love all of your cards. I absolutely love this one, especially since you used two of my favorite colors together - pink & green. I actually have the same question that Elyse asked…how did you do the circle on top and get the image half on the bottom? Inquiring minds want to know!! LOL!

Thanks,
Sue

Hi Lauren,

Just wanted to say I LOVED the bella card yesterday!!! It really touched me!!!!! Having lost my mother 2 years ago, I cannot make one for her and I just wanted to remind your readers to cherish your mothers!!!!!! You never know when they will be taken from you!!!

Glad Alexa is down to one!!! I don’t think anyone minds you when you keep counting down. In fact we are counting down with you!! I wish her the best!!!

I read your blog everyday and enjoy it so much!!!! Jason must be one sweetheart of a guy!!!! You know you much own more bellas than that! LOL!!!! ;0)

Oh, Lauren, this card is just precious. I love both of your mom’s cards. May just have to get this stamp too someday. Like Laura said, who the heck cares if you get sappy, or constantly talk about Alexa’s last chemo. One, it’s your blog, two, you’ve been through one heck of a rough ride the last couple of years and so deserve to get it out. So what kind of a party are we throwing?

Oh Lauren, I have really tried to hold off on getting hooked with another line of stamps, but this did for me! Thanks so much for sharing from your heart, and giving us a glimpse of your Mom. She must be sooo proud of you. God Bless.

First off - I LOVE all your cards - you do an amazing job!!

Second - I just had to tell you that because of YOU I just put in my first order with PTI. I got the Pond Life (is that what it’s called?? Now I’m blanking on it…) stamps and the sentiments that go with it, plus my first set of Nestabilities…the large scallop circles (and the mat you need with them).

So it’s YOUR fault that now I actually have to WAIT to get my new goodies!! Thanks for being an inspiration!!

Before I start my ranting about your beautiful cards, NEVER mind talking about Alexa’s chemo. Us mothers know how stressful it is to be the mother of a sick child. Very hard-but with the love of ones you know and those of us you “don’t” it is okay.

Now…your card…that fairy just sings to ya. Very pretty.
And you are a brave,brave girl for telling how many Bellas you have-knowing your hubby reads this. And I am super-duper jealous again. 50 Bellas….I just wish I was one of your kids so I could play with them.
Saving the super-Bella card for Mother’s Day is even a better idea.

Keep giving-and we will keep enjoying!
