cruisin' with vinyl

I am so excited to give you some pretty amazing news when it comes to my vinyl!!!!!

Some of my vinyl is teaming up with product from two FABULOUS companies to create a Crop and Cruise layout kit!!!!!!! My sister, Jill Hildebrand, was asked to create a layout kit as a past Featured Instructor of the cruise event. And............she asked ME for some vinyl to complete the kit.

So........here's a sneak peek of the NEVER BEFORE SEEN layout (you're seeing it here FIRST!!!!!!! -- lucky you) that combines the fantastic products of myStampBOX, Nikki Sivils Scrapbooker & CUT YOUR WAY!!!!!!!! What a great team we make!!!!!

Weekend weather!!!

What a great weekend to be in the outdoors! My local drill team (and others) went on a trail ride thru the valley near Clearwater. It was AMAZING!! We had great weather, and wonderful views. Thanks again to Kristi for allowing us to ride thru your pastures, and for making sure I got in a few pictures!


This is just an updated picture of my kitchen. Yup, I broke down and finally painted my cupboards! What do you think? Blog Poll: should I also paint the uppers???

I'll keep you posted on the results of the poll, and future pictures if need be.

Have a great week - sun, keep shining!!!

MIA no more!

Yes, I'll admit I was M-I-A there for the summer, and I appologize. But.... I'm back!!

Here's a little peek at some of the EXTRA things I've done with vinyl over the summer.

I built this barn for Emma last Christmas. How much fun is this????

(I also "pimped out" Tanner's barn, but apparently haven't got a picture of it yet...stay tuned for that one. Two words: John...Deere).

This is another FUN little goodie I popped up in my kitchen. It happened to be a day that I was spending a lot of time at my sink doing apples for the freezer. Let me tell you, it made the job more enjoyable. Oh, now the ideas are endless!!!

We are back into our regularily scheduled life. Harvest is near-done, and the kids are back to school. If you are allowed to make "September resolutions", mine is to post more often. There will be a little game about that later.... Well, enjoy your day, the sun is trying to shine. I'll leave you will a picture of our first day back to school!!!

Take Care, Laura Lee

New vinyl designs and colors!!!

A few weekends back I was in Brandon for the Scrapbookers Charity Convention, and had a BLAST!! In prep for the weekend, I designed some new vinyl pages. Some vinyl sheets come in 12x12, while others come in 6x12, and you can choose from lots of different colors (see picture at the end).

1. Frames and more (12x12) - shown in black

2. Trees, branches and birds (12x12) - shown in chocolate brown

3. Brackets and emotions (12x12) - shown in cranberry

4. Love words (12x12) - shown in silver...very nice!!

5. Girl words (12x12) - shown in light purple

6. Boy words (12x12) - shown in grass green
The following are all 6x12 sheets, however some photos may look like they are 12x12 (due to 2 colors being together on a picture).

7. Family words (6x12) - shown in terracotta

8. (top) Birds and swirls (6x12) - shown in hot pink

(bottom) Butterflies (6x12) - shown in white ...very classy and versatile!!

9. (top) Dandelions (6x12) - shown in olive green (picture unfortunately doesn't do color justice)

(bottom) Brackets (6x12) - shown in orange

10. (top) Funky stuff (6x12) - shown in teal

(bottom) Sun and shapes (6x12) - shown in signal yellow

And here.... are the colors! I will try to get better photos of the color choices in the next little while. However, if you are interested in a certain color, I can let you know if it is available, or what I have in comparison. But, we scrappers like LOTS of color, so I'm sure there is something here that sparks your interest!

Vinyl sheets are available now for mailing out to you. 12x12 design sheets (as above) are $13 per sheet, and 6x12 design sheets are $7 per sheet. If mailing, there is a $2 additional fee, but no mailing fee on orders over $30. Email harmsk1@mts.net to place orders, or call (204) 529-2605.

Happy shopping and playing,

Laura Lee
