DT Spotlight: Laura

Name: Laura Louise Kirk Kurz (but I go by Laura)
City, State: Baltimore, Maryland
Blog: www.laurakurz.typepad.com

How long have you been a DT member? 8 months!

Favorite SC product? Any and all stamps

Any rituals when your kits arrive? I bring the box in and wait until I have some quiet time to open it. With Charlie being 18 months old he is into everything, so I want to make sure I open it during "me" time. I take everything out and spread it out. This might be a little weird, but I pull out all my favorite things from the kit and put them all in one bag together, then I put everything else in another bag until I get it out again when I'm ready to create!

All time favorite SC kit? Granny's Cupboard. That piece of circular chipboard helped me make one of my most favorite layouts ever.

Three products you can't live without: Ink, letter stickers, and kraft cardstock

Three people you get scrappy inspiration from: Elizabeth Dillow, SC's own Tina Azmus, and Jen Johner

Three goals you have: To write a book. To have an article published in a major magazine (not scrapbooking related), and to be a good memory keeper for my family.

Here's a peek of where Laura gets down to business:

And take a peek at three of Laura's favorite photos:
My dad took this on Charlie's birthday. I love his little open eye, and I love my hand on his head. I've always thought I had huge hands, and it is even more obvious in this photo. He was a little peanut when he was born and I love how this picture captures the scale of him.

Charmer was our first baby, the best dog ever. She loved unconditionally. When we found out she was sick, I set out to take as many pictures of her as possible. I know Charlie won't remember Charmer, but I'm so glad I have images like this for us to tell him stories about her.

I love this photo of me and my mom. I was doing "so big." I love the expression on her face, and I love that I can see Charlie in my face.

Awww, I have been a Laura fan for a long time, and I love that each time you do a reveal or a getting to know you, you peel away another layer so that I can get to know you better! Your space says you...that neat, clean, slightly OCD look is all over your layouts and I wish I could achieve it!
