Welcome to Cupcake Inspirations Challenge--
a challenge where crafting is inspired by
yummy, scrumptious cupcakes!
Each challenge, we serve up a cupcake image to inspire you
to create a card or other craft project following either a theme or colors.
Laurie is a self-taught artist that comes from a creative family. Her parents always seemed to have some sort of craft or art project in the works. Her favorite thing as a child was a new box of 128 crayons and a stack of clean white paper. She loved to draw and create from an early age. Her favorite mediums now are watercolor, color pencils and her Ipad. She has taken a variety of art classes at the local college and loves to learn new ways create her art.
She loves bright, whimsical design and this is reflected in much of her artwork. Her tag line is “Art that will make you smile” and tries, each day, to bring a little smile to the people around her.
She has designed for the arts and craft industry for almost 30 years. She was also the art director and designer for a giftware manufacture before that. She is now a freelance artist. Her artwork has been licensed as greeting cards, garden flags, holiday décor and more by several major manufactures and can be found in retailers around the country. She has I recently branched out to include digital stamps to the line up…hope you all have fun creating with her digi stamps!
