Night Life
Tonight is the MFT release! I am watching American Idol, and will then pop into the forums. So this is a quick post, just for eye candy. I vote for David Cook! I think he’s the most original and consistent. Then I like David A. Share your fave here if you like! I normally don’t get into TV reality chatter, but this is what Im thinking right now.
My favorite image from Goin Places is the city (and of course the plane and banner).
My first thought was a night sky.
Silver ink, on black cardstock, and you have a perfectly easy night sky. I really could not decide on a sentiment, so I will wait. Who says you HAVE to stamp a sentiment on every creation you make, right away? Not me.
The paper is Scarlett Letter by Basic Grey.
I keep my MFT stuff a little on the simpler side cause that is me, and I think the images can be really dressed up and kept simple. So whatever your style, I think they can work for you (wink).
Celebrate the journey
LOVE that sentiment! This can be any type of journey! A literal trip, or life venture.
SIMPLE SIMPLE
OK I gotta run. Sorry!
Enjoy the night of the release!
See you back here tomorrow! Gotta get those photos done.

My favorite is Jason Castro. And his song choice were my songs.. But I like the by the original artist. I can’t believe he forgot the words. Well I think the 15 yr. old should win. The way he sang elvis. Made me wish he was my age. I still can’t believe how deep it was. It was beautiful. Love the cards you made can’t wait to see the new ones.

Ooooh, this looks like a great new set; I’ll have to check it out! David A is my fav but I think David Cook may win it; I love them both and know they’ll both be sucessful; there’s nothing sweeter than David A’s version of The Long & Winding Road, the video of which I downloaded for my I-pod! Yumm-o!
David Cook!!! Hes got the Whole Package “Goodlooking, Great Vocals, Charisma!!!” Go David!!! When his CD comes out I am buyin it!!! And hope to see him on tour….yeah I got it bad…I like Jason too he was different and had a great humble way about him I think one of the most humble contestants I have ever seen on the show….I’ll miss him he always made me smile!
Definitley David Cook! Your cards are super cute! Love them both! The night life card is very dramatic. Love the silver skyline and the moon! TFS, Lauren!

Oh wow! The first card is so elegant.
And then the next is so sweet. I guess I say that, because in 12 days I will be celebrating my 19th anniversary! And what a journey it has been. 😉
This set is a must have, your cards make it so!!! TFS.
Very cool cards! LOVE the city!
We love David Cook! I am not sure he will win because David A has the teenage votes, but Cook has my vote. Brandon (my 10yo son loves him)!
Your cards are fab as usual! I want to see you use the mini set with the dog and the boy. You could rock that set. It will be in my collection for sure!
I haven’t seen an episode of anything TV for how long I can’t say.
A quick pop in to check up on you and I’m off to make a giant poster card for TAW! Only 2 days left! I’m tired! but the teachers are having an awesome week and they deserve it! Cute card…love the skyline…reminds of my trip with my mom and sisters to the big city last fall! May have to purchase… 🙂
Hi Lauren: love your city cards. I just love the way you put things together in your cards. I also think David Cook and David A. are really the best singers on American Idol. Those two have been really original in their interpretation of the songs they pick. Except this week David A. was a little better than David Cook. Sorry to go on about this, I watch every week.
I am also a Daivd Cook fan…love the silver on black, I use this for wedding cards, simple yet fancy..
Love these cards! The night skyline is so elegant! Now, my pick, and I think will be the winner this year is David Cook. He is extremely talented, great performer, and a total hottie! I think everyone was fantastic, but we’re looking for an American idol…has to be the whole package!
Beautiful cards! I missed the release party…I’ll have to go check out the new stuff!!
I’m an AI addict! I like David Cook but I *love* David Archuleta!! He is so genuine and humble. I hope he wins…but even if he doesn’t he has an awesome future ahead of him and I will buy whatever he comes out with!!
Love this skyscape stamp – wonderful samples Lauren!
Great cards Lauren! I love how one stamp can get so many “looks”.
I hardly ever watch television so I have no idea what’s going on. One of these days, I’ll have to check out all this buzz 😉
Hope you’re having a wonderful day!
I love the cards (as always).
I like David C. I wish Syesha would have gone home last night. I wanted to see Jason for one more week. Oh well. I’m sure it will come down to the two Davids.
Totally LoVe David Cook too! He is definitely by a million miles the best one on the show. He will probably be the only one to sell any records too, just the sad reality for the rest of them. I am sure the AI producers want him to win just for this fact. David A. is a good singer but too young and looks like he belongs in a disney show. Thank goodness Jason got kicked off as he just didn’t seem to really care and wasn’t that entertaining (imo) to watch. Okay, I guess you can tell that AI is about the only TV I watch anymore:)!
I’m a David Cook fan too. The two David’s are really the only ones with “talent” in my opinion. I’m a reality junkie so I love to put in my thoughts. Love your cards too. The second is my favorite!!! Great job!
I’m a newbie.. I’ve been reading your blog daily for the past few weeks, getting ideas and such and I have to say, you are an absolutely AMAZING woman – the strength that you have in dealing with Alexa’s illness is phenomenal! I hope that when my time comes to start a family (i’m only 22!) I’ll be half the mother that you are! 🙂 Congrats on all of your achievements in life, as well as the ones you’ve made in stamping.. You rock!
Also, can any of you tell me how she makes the little holes? the little square that she has around the buildings. This may be silly… and I’ve been scrapping/making cards for a few years, and I just don’t know how to do that. Thanks in advance! 🙂
david cook has been my fav from the get go too! Go David Cook!
Too cool! Really love that 1st one.
David Cook all the way! I actually liked tatoo girl, and thought she got kicked off way too soon. Haven’t enjoyed AI as much this year. Was better last year. And what about BO BICE!! He was my fav last year. Now HE is a hottie! LOL He did a great job last night. And Oh…your cards are always awesome! But I end up spending too much money after seeing them because I have to buy everything you use!!LOL
Lauren, your cards are lovely. I like the skyscape stamp. Where did you purchase this from? I am your new subscriber and love all your cards.
Beautiful Lauren. Love the black and silver..
David Archaleta is my fave…..for 17 he has a voice that won’t quit and can sing anything. I like the way he changes the songs to make them his own. Next would be David Cook. I was sad to see Carlie gone as she is so much better than Syisha (sp). Jason should have been gone about three weeks ago. He sounds the same every week. Can’t wait to see which of the Davids wins.
I like David A. first and then David C. I really liked Jason, but he has struggled the last couple of weeks. He is a laid back kind of guy and I thing the pressure got to him. He actually looked so relieved to be going home. He has the most beautiful eyes – they really sparkle in the camera.
Love these cards!!! I’m a big idol fan, I think David Cook is amazing because he picks all my favorite songs and makes them even more amazing. If he and Michael Johns combined, they’d be the perfect man!!
Oh I so love the nightlife card!! It’s very different and simply beautiful!♥ 🙂
These came out so nice! I haven’t been following Idol this time around.
Any card of any theme or color you design is a winner!!!!my choice is David A, but I’m beginning to like David C..they both are talented guys..

Beautiful cards, Lauren. Gotta go with our hometown boy: David A! It was so exciting here to have him come home, back to his high school, and hearing him sing in person is incredible.
thank you so much
