My papercraft journey started in 2002 when I attended my first "Creative Memories" scrapbooking party. After working on a few scrapbooks I discovered the rubber stamp aisle at Hobby Lobby and promptly purchased my first rubber stamp (a teddy bear by PSX :-) along with a golden ink pad and a pack of pre-folded card blanks. A short time later I was invited to a Stampin' Up party and I was blown away by the stamps and other products in the catalog!!
On the search for cardmaking ideas, I discovered the stamping forum Splitcoast Stampers and was amazed by the wonderful designs I found back then and promptly joined this stamping forum as a member.
When blogging became a thing and the first blogging challenges where you could actually win prizes appeared, I of course had to dip my toes into the wonderful world of blogging. And here I am many years later still sharing my papercrafts with the crafty world.
I started this blog in the Fall of 2008, first under the blogging name of www.livelaughstamp.blogspot.com but purchased my own domaine many years later (still hosted by blogger/google). For a short time my domaine was www.ellibellescorner.com but due to a mistake I lost that domaine and now I blog under www.simplyellibelle.com.
Over my long time of blogging I had the honors to design for some great challenge blogs and stamp companies and got to know (virtually) many wonderful crafters from all over the world.
