Laura Kurz

Marrying into the Navy in 2000 took Laura to the great state of Oklahoma, where she found a scrapbook store on almost every corner. With a husband who was often deployed and time on her hands, a hobby was born. A memory keeper from an early age, scrapbooking made sense to Laura. 
She has since been published in Memory Makers Magazine, Creating Keepsakes Magazine, Simple Scrapbooks, and numerous idea books. She is a member of the Creating Keepsakes Hall of Fame, a former Garden Girl at Two Peas in a Bucket, and currently also serves on the Design Team at Studio Calico.
