Resume/Publication List
Thank you for taking the time to review my Resume/Publication list.
IÂ keep this list updated with my most current design team positions, publications and other creative work. Some items for publication may not be listed, as they are pending dates/pages.
I have been a paper crafter since April 2004. It has become my one true passion.
I am also a wife, and stay at home mother to 3 amazing children. This allows me the best of both worlds. To be home with my children, and explore my creative venture’s during my free time.
 Prior to being a stay at home mother, I was a nurse for several years, working in a wide range of areas, such as Sub-Acute, Hospice, Alzheimer’s/Dementia, Long Term care, Assisted Living and Home care. This helped me develope great organizational skills, and time management, amongst many other useful life related skills.
I am a perfectionst, very motivated and passionate about pursuing my goals. I am always open to new idea’s, and challenge’s. I am versatile, and am able to execute any task put before me.
My style continue’s to evolve, as time, and trends do. I offer a fresh approach to design, and have my own flair for viewing things in a new way.
 My projects are clean, detailed, and always professional.
Please contact me with any questions.
I am always open to new ideas, products, and design work.

Pink Cat -also feature’s a few on her website
I “NEED” your autograph!!! Seriously!! before you get “TOO” famous!!
You should be soo proud of yourself!! (Not that I am surprised you’ve been published soo much)
I stumbled upon your blog from somewhere-what a happy find! I luv your work! I also love your story about Alexa-you have amazing strength, but just looking at her beautiful smile pretty much sums it up!
My other reason for commenting is I picked up a Stamping Magazine-it’s at home and I’m not so the name escapes me-and I spotted your cards! WoW is what I keep saying! There were other familiar SCS’rs as well, but I only have your blog “hiding” at work!! I am trying to encourage my upline/BFF #2 to submit but she is unsure. I love seeing your work everywhere-thanks for the inspiration!!
Great stuff.

hmmmm..I seem to have gotten stuck in your site…lol…:-)
Lauren,
Thank you for responding, I’ve been looking at all your links and I had a few questions, if you don’t have time maybe you could refer me to were to look…I’ve been a stampin up demonstrater for 1 year this Feb so i’m still learning. Everytime I see your designs I think wow you’ve got to have a huge scrapbook room!!!! I would also like to say congrads!!! to all your winnings….I thought for sure you’d being doing this for years!!! Anyways here are my questions, my 2 year old is sleeping, EASton so now it’s time to make some creations of my own. You made some cards with flocking and on your ice cream card you used something to make the ice cream look real, where is this and how do you use them? Thank you for your time and I’m now addicted to your site…thanks
Hi Lauren,
I am totally inspired by you and your work! I just can’t get over how beautifully it is done. I visit your site almost daily to see what is new. I would love to know where you find your inspiration and would also like to know if someone is interested in being a part of a design team how they go about it. Where did you begin? Thank you for sharing!
Hi Lauren
I am totally inspired by your work. I have been stamping/scrapbooking for about 5 years and I wish I had more time to be creative, but with 2 small boys, it is tough.
Thank you for the wonderful ideas and kudos to you and your family.
