I just wanted to say that I appreciate everyone's patience and understanding as we are going through a very tough and stressful time for our family! I will be getting caught up on emails, getting orders shipped that we fell behind on, and getting the prizes and information out to the winners who are waiting! I am SOOO SORRY that we have gotten behind - we are doing the best we can as we struggle through these tough times!

Thanks to Holly and all the Design Team Ladies for picking up the slack for me and keeping things going - You are all amazing!

Thank you to all our Customers and Players who are sticking by us while we get back on our feet - I am hoping things start to get better soon :)

Hugs! Laura

                                                     TRICIA TRAXLER

Hi!  I'm Tricia from Simply Stamping and I'm excited to join in the challenges this month at Love's Rubberstamps!  I started papercrafting about 20 years ago as a scrapbooking consultant for a well known company, but when I was introduced to cardmaking a few years later I left my scrapbooking behind and jumped in with both feet!  I love to make cards that are encouraging and uplifting.  Cards that will bring a little beauty and joy into someone's day.  I look forward to sharing with you this month!

Super excited to have Tricia joining us!

We LOVED seeing all the players last week! We have such a fun time visiting your blogs and seeing your projects up close! We had some completely AWESOME projects last week!
