A quick and easy card.

Hi everyone,

Life is a beautiful thing even though we are enduring hot weather hurricanes and earthquakes!?! Not to mention raw hands from washing so often and the masks! Don’t let me get started on the masks!

With the trials and tribulations we have faced and are facing in the year, 2020, we need to keep reminding ourselves how wonderful life is. Are we having a rough go? Definitely! Not hugging is just about to kill me! But I just keep telling myself how blessed I am for family, friends, and good health. And when I am able to hug again–how sweet it will be!

Well, this week I am featuring a stamp set that might cool you off a wee bit and remind us just how beautiful our lives truly are. It’s called Life is Beautiful, (#154871, $17).

This stamp set was inspired by Million Sales Achiever LeeAnn Greff. It is also a distinktive stamp. Distinktive stamps are made with a patent pending process that creates photo realistic images. Special texture adds depth and dimension. In the past we have only been able to create this with 2 or 3 step stamping. I just love the tree! And if you are interested in seeing a demonstration on this stamp, please tune into my Facebook page on Thursday at 12 noon for Lunch with Laura. There you will learn a simple and fast technique to get those colored leaves on the tree! Here are some other ideas!

Last Thursday was the “debut” of my new Facebook Live series called “Lunch with Laura”. I took a stroll with you through the brand new Stampin’ Up! August-December 2020 Mini Catalog. I showed off the new stamp sets for Christmas, Fall, Halloween and Thanksgiving as well as a few returning “faves”. I also pointed out some things that you might not have noticed. If you missed it, go to my YouTube channel and watch. And while you are there, please subscribe. I will be doing Lunch with Laura every Thursday at 12 noon!!!
