Guest Designer: Laurel Seabrook + giveaway!

We would like to thank Laurel Seabrook for jumping in to share her ideas with us without a whole lot of notice. You might have seen her posting her cute ideas to our Facebook page (we love that). And she's agreed to come back and share more of her creative projects with us after the holidays. So we'd love to introduce you Laurel in today's post.

HI! I LOVE Doodlebug products, they just keep getting better and better.  My favorite products to work with are the fun, happy colorful items and Doodlebug products certainly are in keeping with that style! I am an active card maker, scrapbooker and altered art crafter!



I am married with 2 girls.  I teach grade 1 full time and my hobbies are paper crafting (especially card making and scrapping), photography, blogging and painting.  My passion right now is anything using paper.  My girls are the inspiration for my scrapping and I am into card making as I love how quick, easy and satisfying they are... not to mention I am addicted to Challenges and participate in as many as I can.  I have also dabbled a bit in altered projects and mini albums and am slowly becoming addicted to them too!  Although the job and family life keep me busy I try to make time for myself daily by going for a run and of course playing in my craft room.


Please stop by my blog and say HI! 


GIVEAWAY: To celebrate Laurel joining us today, we're going to giveaway a box of her favorite collection to a lucky winner. Simply check out Laurel's blog and leave a comment about something you saw that inspired you. We'll announce the winner on our Blog on Monday!!

  4. I like how she makes attractive cards with just a few products. It's simple, but not too simple, if that makes sense!

  30. The awesome vintage Santa advent banner has inspired me to create my own with photos of my daughter on each of the 12 days leading up to Christmas. At the end of each day I will place a photo on the banner to symbolize that we are one day closer. I also loved the snowflake card and will be making those in different sizes and patterns to use as windo decorations. Thanks for the inspiration!
