Click to enlarge-WARNING: I look so tired and awful! LOL!
This is me, and Julia Aston. She decided to take a photo of her and I, in the class at the END of the day! LOL! So Im looking haggard and exhausted. She emailed me this photo yesterday! I did bring my camera but was SO busy I didn’t get a single photo :C
Well, as you can see I survived my classes at The Paper Tree!! I had SO much fun with the women there. I hope they had as much fun as I did.
I know many of you wanted to know how it went-more on that below. I really think HOW it went is up to the people who attended! LOL! But they seemed to enjoy the projects. That is the BEST part! Making people happy.
I am already booked for my next 2 classes! Keep in mind ALL my projects are new, not ever posted here on my blog-or any other online venue.
People wanted to make cards with me so………………….
Friday June 13th 7pm- It don’t mean a thing, if it aint got that BLING!
Its all about the bling these days. In this class we will make 5 cards that are sure to sparkle and shine. Each one will feature a different way to add sparkle to your creations. You will use new products and a few fun techniques! You really don’t want to miss this one.
Sunday June 29th 10am-Clearly Creative Cards
This class shows you a few more ways to use those window sheets! I love creating with acetate, and you will be hooked after this class.We will make 5 cards in that class that are “clearly” creative, fun and fresh ideas for your creations.
Here comes the ASK and you shall receive part: Michelle has received so many emails, on top of the one’s I have as well, about my Class Kits for my classes (WOW! Thanks everyone!!) and we are doing 2 class kits this month!I hope to get more in the works, but I do have design deadline’s to meet first and I have to complete my class samples for my classes!
CLASS KIT DETAILS!
We are offering these kits, which Michelle is starting to put together. They are going to be available in LIMITED quantities. FIRST COME FIRST SERVE. Supplies are limited. You can go to the Paper Tree website www.thepapertree.net for kit details on Friday June 6th for specific kit details, and prices, then contact Michelle to order.
Also if you get your kit and have questions, you can email me directly 😀 That info will be provided with the kit instructions.Now below I will share the 2 kit projects.All Tied Up:
This boxed set uses a paper collection by SEI Chocolat. This paper is gorgeous. It glitters, and shimmers. The butterflies are embossed! Truly gorgeous collection to give away (or as many stated KEEP for themselves)
It also used the Flourish set by Inkadinkadoo-also included in the kit!!!
Note: we used Papilon paper for the outside of the box for the class, and the top is decorated. I had not completed the top for the photo, and we had to improvise on the paper due to availability. Michelle will include NEW! photos of this box, completed on her site Friday.
Box tied up
Top off box
Box united-4 cards in one side, 4 stamped envelopes, memo cube, and stamp holder. Space for you to add a note book or birthday calendar-whatever you choose.
The collection of cards you will make with your kit.
Next up we have the Make it Monogrammed class
Well we all know just how popular those Just Rite monogram stampers have become. I am sure we can ALL thank the lovely and talented Miss Debbie Olson for that!! Well we did a class using them, and they are fun! I have the C-30 which fits your SU! 1 1/4 circle punch!!! I love that.
You can see that set-HERE!
It also uses the GORGEOUS Le Jardin , which is the sister set to Jolies Fleurs.
Now this class you will make 8 monogrammed cards and envy’s with a GORGEOUS exclusive box I designed, that is really unique in the way it looks, and is put together!!! Everyone LOVED this box.
You will too!! Think Teacher gifts!!!
Now I will share my Favor It class-that will NOT be part of a kit.
We made 5 great, party favor’s for any occassion.
If you didn’t want to buy the Nestabilities after this class, then there is NO hope for you! LOL! I was surprised at how many people had NEVER see or heard of them! Lauren to the rescue! LOL! I even sold some Cuttlebug’s for AC Moore down the road after everyone got to try everything out! LOL!
Now this was my personal favorite project.
We uses the Large Circle Scallop Nestabilties for this!!! Just snipped in between the scallops and layered! The center is a chocolate circle, that we used our embossing stylus to create a flower center!! FUN!!
Leaves are by Prima
Door knob hanger and Fold-n-go origami party pouch
The sentiment is Lizzie Anne-Sketched Sentiments
Party Chick is A Muse
Butterfly punch is EK Success.
Next up-
Dinosaur egg holder, and Rodeo Round-Up stick holder (lollipop holder)
You can’t see by the photo but the Cat’s Pajama’s is a lollipop holder! There are 4 holes in the top for the sticks to go! WAY CUTE!!
Stamp is Its a Western Thing
SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO……………………….that is that.
I think it went well. The first one was a little hectic, and the ink on one of the projects wasn’t inking, and we had a lot of improvising! LOL! BUT, in the end it was great and I think everyone enjoyed it.
I really felt like I bombed my first class, but my gineau pigs were nice about it. I was much more on the ball the next 2 classes. 6 people had signed up to stayed for all 3! How sweet!!
Julia Aston wrote about her expieriecne HERE! AND, you have to see her blog because she has a photo of the most adorable tote bag she made for me out of cardstock!! What a nice thing for her to do!! I LOVED that bag. Its looks real! LOL!
She was funny because she got home and uploaded her photos and wrote all about it, then emailed. I wasn’t even unpacked fully! LOL!
Thank you again Julia for the super sweet tote/notecards gift and your super kind words of encouragement.
I didn’t realize how LITERAL people are when they stamp. I just sort of eyeball things. Someone asked how far up and in to punch holes for a particular project and I said “I don’t just eyeball it. It’s about 2 inches up and 1/2 and inch in” Well, everyone got out their rulers! LOL! It was hysterical to me!!
So basically it was a fun time, and the day FLEW by! I am still recovering! My feet are killing me-next time its SNEAKERS for me! LOL!
OK Im off to rest.

“You Go Girl”!!
*Have a Fantastic day!!
*Great picture…You look Wonderful!!
I am so incredibly jealous of those who got to attend your classes! These projects are AWESOME! And, as always, you look beautiful. 🙂
Lauren, your projects are phenomenal!!!!! You should have your own business you totally out rock some of the “named people” out there making money. I believe in Karma and someday I think a monitary windfall will happen for you and your family. If I lived in the area I would be taking all of your classes, even repeat ones. Keep on creating–I love visiting your blog everyday.
Lorri
Thank you! The classes were awesome! You are too hard on yourself. You did great! And thank you for coming up with my solution of using the nesties for my “teacher photo flowers”! You are such an inspiration! Thank you for sharing your amazing talent with us! I cannot wait to take the next classes! I will be calling Michelle shortly to sign up!
OH MY GOSH – as I scrolled down it was one after the other fantastic project. I wish I could come to your classes…BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL! Thank you for sharing!
As always, you never cease to amaze me! The projects were beyond beautiful. I’m upset you don’t live close so I can attend your classes.
Oh Lauren, you may look a little tired in that picture, but you look so happy and confident and proud. And you should be! I am just stunned and so jealous that I can’t take these classes! What a great deal though that your classes will be available to us in these kits! Yea!
Sounds like it went amazing!!! Congrats to you! I love the projects and that sunflower basket is to die for!!! I will have to try that!
I was wondering if you will do any tutorials on these items. I live to far away to come. And I enjoyed the sunflower basket, and box tied up. I think they would make a great gift for a baby or wedding shower. You come up with so many great and inspiring ideas. Well can’t wait to see what your up to tomorrow.
Amy S.
Lauren ~ You are too much! Love all of these projects…what fun everyone must have had…I wish I could go to your classes…but alas…I’m too far away…
Lauren,
These are beautiful! Wish you could travel so we could all enjoy and learn from the best!
WOW – you did some awesome projects!!! I sure wish I was close enough to come to your classes. I’d be there in a heart beat!!! It sure sounds like you had a great time doing them. I’m anxious to see the kits!!!
Relax and have a peaceful day.
What awesome projects Lauren!! I do not think you could bomb at anything my friend, you just weren’t awake enough yet. 🙂 I am so jealous of all of these lucky ladies that get to take these classes with you.
All your projects are awesome! Can’t wait to order those kits! I wish I could come to your classes, you are so talented! Love your blog, thank you for sharing so much of yourself with all of us!

Lauren, I’m so glad you had a good time. I knew you’d rock. I love the projects. Now I’m totally pouting in SoCal and wondering how I can fanagle my way into one of your classes. Hmmm…
Lauren, you are so amazing! I so wish I lived close enough to attend your classes. I know they all will be awesome. You continue to come up with such phenomenal creations—you never cease to amaze me!! You have definitely found ‘your niche’. Just WOW…………..
Wow! Your projects are fabulous! I really wish I lived there, I’d be at every class! Love that flourishes set, it’s a perfect teacher’s gift. I’m really glad your classes went over well, but how could they not? Could you put a tutorial on your site for the dinosaur tube? That looks interesting! And that store is amazing.
These are so cute, I wish I could be there to take your classes, they look so fun!
Oh My! You look wonderful don’t even kid yourself:) And your projects… WOW! That’s all I can say because otherwise I’m speechless:)
The amount of talent that you have is astounding!! All of your projects are amazing!! Thanks for sharing!!
Yay Lauren sounds like you were a hit! I wish I still live in MA and I could travel to the class. I hope I am visiting when you have class and I can drive up! Congrats and LOVE all your projects! You are enabling me to finally buy the monogram stamp thingy! Have a great rest of your weekend! Jessie
You never cease to amaze me, Lauren! I about died when I saw how fantastic your projects are. I SO wish I lived on the other side of the country just so I could take your classes. You ROCK!
I wish I could come to your class! haha! Your projects are so phenomenal!! I love the sunflower out of nesties!! Too clever!!
OMG!!!!!!!!!!! Move to Columbus, Ohio so you can do classes here.
LOVe It!!!
Hi Lauren,
You silly woman! You don’t look tired in that pic, u do look great! The projectsu did were fantastic! Have a great rest of your weekend!
Angie
OMG, Lauren! These projects are BEYOND what I imagined!! Thanks for responding to my last inquiry about future kits. I’ll be waiting to get on-line to purchase the kits when they become available. I’ll be really bummed if they sell out before I get on-line (am in Calif. so I’ll have to keep in mind the time zone difference!). You’re amazing!
Congratulations on a successful Day! You know that we all had confidence in you that you would do an excellent job!
Sara
Thanks for a great day yesterday, Lauren. And, FYI – I don’t think you bombed the first class either. The projects were awesome, you were a wonderful instructor with the patience of a saint and the sense of humor to keep us all laughing. I’m so glad I was able to make it, and for sure – I’ll be seeing you again. Take care, enjoy the beautiful Sunday with your family, and thanks again.
I CANNOT BELIEVE ALL THE CUTE PROJECTS YOU DID!!! THOSE ARE AMAZING! AND YES, I AM YELLING!!! WHAT LUCKY LADIES TO HAVE BEEN AT YOUR CLASSES…WOW! I AM SO SAD THAT I LIVE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE USA!
THANKS FOR SHOWING US WHAT YOU DID…EVEN IF IT DOES MAKE US SUPER ENVIOUS OF THE ONES THAT GOT TO BE THERE! 😀
Hi Lauren, it was so great to meet you yesterday! My only regret is that I could only stay for the first class! You definitely did not bomb and I will be happy to be a guinea pig in one of your classes anytime! I love the project we did and bought the stamp set and more paper so I can make another one cause this baby ain’t going nowhere, LOL! I even made some notecards with the leftover scraps of DP! The Papertree, (hi Michelle!) is a great shop and I can’t wait to go back for more classes and shopping, especially if Julia, (Artystamper) is there too! The photo of the two of you is great; gotta remember to take one next time!
Kathy
I want to be in one of your classes SOOOO bad! Everyhthing is breath-taking!!!
Oh how I wish I lived closer so I could come to a class — taking any trips to the West coast of Canada in the near future. Have a great local scrapbooking store that I’m sure would host you 🙂 These projects are wonderful and I’m sure once word gets around you’ll be booked months in advance. GREAT job!!
Lauren, Your projects are beyond amazing! You are so creative! I LOVE the All Tied Up box. And the Sunflower basket! I wish you were teaching classes in Central Florida!
Oh my gosh, these projects are so amazing!I loved the box with the butterflies. Gorgeous!I wish I lived by you so I could go to your classes!!
Sure you don’t need a vacation on the sunny E. Central coast of Florida? Have an extra guest room, I’m a pretty good cook, you could lie by the pool, go to the beach….of course, that’s only after you’ve shown me how to do that awesome tied box and sunflower box. 🙂
Oh your projects are beautiful. I’m so jealous of the ladies that got to be part of your classes. I want to go to too!!! Great stuff. -Molly B
Awesome projects, I think my fav is the first box with the sides that tie, and all the matching cards and such, very cool!

I’m so glad you put nice pictures here of your projects – the combined photo I put on my blog obviously doesn’t show any of them well – I just love all of these things and the papers/stamps are all just lovely! My particular favorite is the flower basket – as I make things to sell at my church and this could be made for all kinds of occasions!
Lauren – you were a terrific teacher especially after you warmed up and your coffee kicked in and you started reprimanding us for not paying attention to what you were explaining to us!!! LOL!!! and I’m so pleased that you liked my thank you gift! Everyone really enjoyed your classes! can’t wait to sign up for more!
girl, you need to bottle up your energy and sell it to the general public! your projects are always so original and fun – super nice job!! that last western one was adorable.
Lauren! I just saw your Father’s day t-shirts in Lizzie Ann Designs newsletter! So cute!
Lauren,
You totally inspire me. Not just with your beautiful paper crafts but how you find the time to all that you do on top of taking care of your wonderful family. I only have one child and find it hard enough! Your projects are beautiful. Much nicer than any of the classes I have taken. Too bad you are a few states away! I am very excited about the kits by mail though. Yay! These projects are AWESOME (did I say that already :)). The sunflower with the nesties is my favorite. Darling! You deserve a vanilla bean chiller after all that work!
Looks like your class was a BIG hit! I love the explosion box with the sationary… too bad I live to far away to attend! Good luck on your next two classes!
Oh my goodness~ what amazing stuff….do you want to move to North Carolina??? 🙂 All of these projects are amazing. I can’t believe how much stuff you can come up with. I hope you know this is an unusual gift. To be able to visualize this stuff—WOW! Thanks so much for sharing all your class stuff with us. You are quite generous with your art!
You are so talented!!! I just love looking at your creations! Thanks for sharing!
Do you sleep? What a lucky class!!! Wonderful projects and I can’t wait to see what you come up with next.
Glad it went so well! All of these projects look so fabulous!
wow, that memo box and sunflower basket are amazing!!
Lauren, Congratulations on your success!! Amazing projects all! I am trying to plan a “business” trip to the Manchester area to coincide with one of your classes … anything planned for late July?? in the meantime, I look forward to more information about ordering kits. Great job (as always)! Marta
Your projects are absolutely AMAZING, what a treat to have you as a teacher! I am so happy for you that your class turned out great!
Glad to see the classes went great (I knew they would). I really wanted to go but I had a bridal shower cake I spent most of Saturday decorating so I knew I couldn’t be in two places in once.
All the projects looked awesome and I kept admiring the favor samples everytime I’ve been in the store lately. Michelle is a sweatheart and the store is my second home away from home right after Target 🙂
Take care
I’m glad you had such a good time! 🙂 Ypur projects are awesome (as always! ;-))
I especially love the stationery box! gorgeous!♥
These are awesome! I wish you were close by and I would love to take your classes!! I will watch for the kits Friday! Wonderful gift ideas!! YOU ROCK GIRL!!!
WOW, such stunning projects what an amazing class to attend I bet they all went home delighted with themselves! Congrats You Do Rock!!! That box is a masterpiece and the cards are beautiful too!
Lauren, what a nice surprise to be blog surfing and see your JustRite project pop onto the screen. That is a wonderful project and we are so happy your are sharing the JustRite news with all your blogging friends. Thanks, Denise
Oh my gosh! Those butterfly cards are GORGEOUS!!! I wish I lived near enough to catch one of your classes.
You are such a remarkable, talent Lauren!! No wonder everyone wants you on their DT! 😉 I love it all!!! Oh….and I wish I could look as “awful” as you.
Hi Lauren! Loved your class projects–wish I lived closer so I could come to one 🙁 I just had to make one of those totebags that one of your students made you–it was just too cute. If you get a chance check out my blog to see my version! Great work on all the new stamp releases too–makes me want them all-lol!

Lauren, I seriously don’t know how you do it. There are just so many beautiful projects here! You got a shout out over at Card of the Week.com. You can check out the post at http://www.cardoftheweek.com/2008/06/card-of-the-wee.html
Thanks for sharing your awesome work!
What beautiful work. I really loved the Tied Up Box and the cards that go with it. The Nestabilities sun flower basket is really cool. You definitely convinced me to buy the Nestabilities. I feel so inspired now. Thank you!!
These are beautiful! I loved all tied up so much I purchased it through paypal, I emailed but haven’t heard back or received it yet. Any ideas?
Gorgeous projects! I wish I lived closer because I think you’d do an amazing job. We’re always our own worst critics and I’m sure everyone loved your class!
I just love, love the amazing box kit “All Tied Up” I tried to get a kit at Paper Tree and they have sold out. Please help me out if you can, I would love to get one of the kits.
Thank you,
Shirl
