CT Member Spotlight Laura Lee

Sorry I am a day late on my post and I haven't had a chance to do the sketch yet because of a family emergency.

A few of my favorite things:

My family, teaching, scrapbooking, the smell of honeysuckle on a summer night and the purr of a kitty when I am trying to sleep, and of course chocolate!

How I started scrapping: With a mail order kit by Leisure Arts called Memories in the Making in 1997. It came with a book, some stencils, a pigment marker and lots of really ugly paper! I tried my best with the monthly kits, but it wasn't until a friend showed me the Scrapbook aisle at Michael's did I really get into scrapping in 2001.

Products and embellishments I can't live without: PAPER, brads, buttons, flowers, and anything fun!

My favorite scrappy tool is: My Die cut machines and my Making Memories Trimmer, I love it!

What I do for inspiration: Use the picutres to come up with a title and then I look around my room. I have sooooooooooooo much stuff. If that doesn't do it, then I hit galleries and my many magazines and idea books!

My three favorite layouts:

Ok, so this one isn't my most favorite, but it does have young pictures of my kids on it that I truly love! :)

This is one of my most favorite layouts that I have ever done and you know when a layout clicks when it takes less than an hour to do. :) Black and White layouts are usually very hard for me, but this one was just fun!

This one is a Becky Fleck Page Map, love the design and the picture of Zoe...she is just a little doll! The Basic Grey was just so perfect for this.
