Hi everyone! I'm Laura Vegas. I live in sunny California with my husband Joe, our 12 year old daughter Alyssa, and our 9 year old daughter Sarah. I work in my home as a daycare provider. I have been scrapping for over 12 years now and still love every part of the process. I find that I'm a much happier person when I take the time to do something creative on a daily basis.
I love circles and I love scallops. So the scalloped squeeze punch was perfect for me. I havn't used any of the squeeze punches before, so it was fun to try one out and see how easily they punched. I'm also a big fan of the threading water punch. I love that I can create scalloped borders for my layouts. And the Heidi Grace Reagan's Closet collection is just my style. The bright colors look amazing with black and white photos. And the border stickers were my favorite. Once again, such an easy way to add lots more scallops to my layout. Thank you Fiskars for the opportunity to design with their fabulous products!
