Lori Nelson signed up to be a demonstrator on my team 13 years ago. She lives in Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin so we have seen each other in person very few times. Just this month though, she drove here to participate in our Demos Galore event that our team threw on the 14th. We were so happy to see her and so blessed that she came to share.

She is very talented as you can see. I loved the cards she shared. They all were made using some aspect of what she termed "the grunge" technique – distressing, sponging, collage, direct-to-paper, etc….just getting messy with it. Who would've thought that messy could look so beautiful?

Thank you, Lori for sharing your talents with everyone who came. Even though we have a place to all meet on Facebook, it was really great to get to know you that much more while you were visiting Minnesota!
