Cosmic Stars + Starry Night with Lea Lawson

Let's dive right in and meet today's guest designer! It is none other than the sweet and insanely talented Lea Lawson! Lea first caught my eye when I first started stamping. Her style is a beautiful eclectic mix of clean and drop dead gorgeousness. Let me tell you, it is not easy to pair together many different products and embellishments, and Lea can do so effortlessly and masterfully. We are sooo happy to have her join us this month! Are you ready? Please make sure you're seated! :)

Lawson, and I reside in beautiful Missoula, Montana. I have been married to my husband, Josh, for 10 years, and we have two of the cutest dogs in the world- a yorkie named Bailey and a cocker spaniel named Sadie. I am a professional photographer, who focuses on weddings and senior portraiture, but also throw my hat in on some families and babies at times.

I have been crafting in some shape or form for as long as I can remember! When I was younger, I would use stationary items (Lisa Frank was my idol) and stickers, then cut up my photos (EEEK!) and arrange them together. The finished product would hang all over my walls and closet doors. When I graduated from high school, my aunt Amy gave me a scrapbooking kit, and my love affair with paper crafting started...

While I used to scrapbook more than I made cards, the tables have turned and I actually barely scrapbook any longer. {Although...I am going to start digitally scrapbooking this year!} The card making community is wonderful, and I have met some amazing women through it. You can see my work in publications like Paper Crafts Magazine/Special Issues, Cards Magazine, and occasionally in Scrapbook Trends Magazine.
