Creative Spark with Laura Bassen - Creating a Colorful Slimline Neighborhood

[@annesturgeon5399]

Rainbows for ever... love the tiny houses. What an adorable neighborhood!

[@deannaberman908]

They REALLY do need a "LOVE" button along with the "like"....I've never watched one of your videos that I did not LOVE...just simply love them all!!!

[@barbarareimer4773]

To coin Mr. Roger's song: "Won't you be my neighbor?" I'd love that, as would everyone else who follows your videos and blogs. It's a very happy, cheery card. I also liked the idea of keeping the small roofs intact and coloring with markers. Thanks for sharing and have a great weekend!

[@shellidoyle7975]

Well if you are the green house I call the yellow house to the left so we are next door neighbors!! 🙋🏼‍♀️😃. Love the card!!

[@rebeccahammitt8214]

I’m old enough to remember when we were taught that the plural of roof was rooves similar to hoof/hooves. Now it is roofs.... I feel like if they are going to change words and grammatical markings, they should send out a national memo. How the heck are old turds like myself supposed to know they changed?!?! Don’t even get me started on the Oxford comma... WHEW! Seriously though, thank you for sharing your talent with us. You are soooo appreciated.

[@rebeccahammitt8214]

And furthermore.... Massatwoshits or maybe massa-doesn’t-give-two-sh!ts. Ha ha! I like the way your husband pronounces it better. I’m changing the way I say it from now on.

[@Monica---]

❤🧡💛💚💙💜 Yes, please! I'll take the light blue one! Laura, I love you so much! You made me giggle throughout your video with ALL the funny stuff you said. ☕I'm grateful I wasn't drinking my coffee when you mimicked how your husband says, "Massachusetts!" OMGosh! :: howling! :: Thank you for sharing... love your work!

[@roxannetellini26]

Awwww! Card and wish are both so sweet.

[@sandramcdonald3903]

Your cards are always so adorable and your talk overs are simply the best. My husband passed away April 24 and I so need to watch your videos. They all make me smile. ❤️

[@NancyLynn]

Oh, Sandra...I'm so so sorry for your loss. Sending you happy hugs, my dear. (from Canada)

[@robertahicks3015]

I wish I lived next door to you too!

[@elivens1440]

Adorable. I grew up and lived in Illinois till my late thirties, then in Iowa till my mid sixties and now living in sunny Florida. Hated Florida till I turned 65.

[@raceandrodeo]

French fries, monkeys, and hot air balloons. The Trifecta of Happiness! 😃👍

[@shellykingham8381]

I’d probably lose my job if you lived next door because we’d be crafting and I’d forget to go to work. I’d like to live in the dark blue house. My favorite house growing up (we moved A LOT) was dark blue and it was beautiful. I’m going to get this die set for sure!!

[@carolynmacaluso5991]

My daughter in law is in Real Estate and was trying to come up with something to share with her new house owners. I bought this set and made her 4 Cards to start. She was so dazzled when she got them. I will cut more and assemble them when she needs more.

[@patnorris3045]

Roofs are what man's best friend says; Roooof (rooooves, pl.) is what goes on the top of a domicile. That said, you still made the best stinkin' card of any of the iterations. LOVE your cards and videos!

[@mllecoline1961]

Oh my gosh, this should be called comedy crafty corner with Laura!

[@PegMarieD]

You are so adorable and so is your card. Yes, the plural is roofs, you only add the "v" sound if there is an 'l" like wolf = wolves or shelf = shelves. Anyway, we always know what you mean and we love you.

[@ankesart2515]

So many wonderful tiny houses. Love the turquoise one. 💙💙

[@aslinsantiago2795]

You are the FUNNIEST!!! Your videos make my LIFE!! 👍🏻🤣

[@sandrarini4552]

I listen to a lot of crafters and of course my husband hears them too. He ALWAYS says “It’s Laura, she’s my favorite!” He loves your voice and you sayings! I love your stories about the family

[@patticallihan8515]

Hi Laura. You are always telling wonderful stories along with creating such a gorgeous card. I love your house card. Thank you for sharing your ideas with us.have a wonderful day. Feel free to pop in for a cup of tea any time you are in my neighborhood. 🥰💐🫖

[@beckyess7399]

I didn’t know you were back in the states! Welcome home! I wish YOU lived next door. None of my neighbors are paper crafters. They just don’t know what they’re missin’.

[@michellenolan6435]

I want the teal house!!! So fun-love how you sing to us!

[@nancyandjohnrodeberg1788]

Love love love this card! Such a wonderful idea with the houses and of course, rainbow makes it happen. Great sentiment stamps from MFT also. Welcome back to the states!!

[@alicemahone2782]

I love all your videos but this is one of your best commentaries ever! I also absolutely love the card. Thank you!

[@janmarch5039]

Oh those little houses are so darn cute....we ALL wished YOU lived next door Laura! So glad you are back in the states...! Loved the idea for coloring the roofs with a copics so much easier that cutting them all out,,,,and trying to find coordinating colors.....

[@pattyfromherz9965]

I love the blue house. wish we were neighbors. I live in the north east corner of north dakota, in a farmers field, closest neighbors about 8 miles away, I enjoy listening to all your stories while you craft.

[@Anne-tq9li]

Wish I lived next door to you! That would be so much fun! Fantastic card..

[@mumudolce]

Illinois has been having a really nice Spring this year!

[@janiceharrison8397]

I would like the blue house please.😁 I had to order this set as well even though I wasn't sure how much I would you it. But between this card and the thank you Cathy Z did, I am now inspired. Oh, and I love your stories too! Makes me feel like a crafty friend and neighbor.😄

[@jancastle77]

[@cyndimorris1309]

I'll take the yellow house to be closer to you (also, I don't do stairs!). Love that fun card.

[@TrentWoojuKim]

I’ll take the dark red one on the right! You’d be the funnest neighbor! I mean, besides me... I’m actually the funnest neighbor... lol! Super cute card! I love it!

[@lisagardner1644]

Another great card. I wish I was your neighbor too! What a blast that would be! How is your daughters recovery going?

[@terrie1226]

The minute I saw the colorful houses I knew it was from you.....great card Laura and it would be awesome to have you as a crafting neighbor BUT I live in Massachusetts (lol)...have a great day & TFS

[@Monica---]

Your comment made me giggle! 🤭🌷

[@kathygroff4526]

It’s a cutey-patootie colorful neighborhood, for sure! Thanks for sharing, today, Laura! Hope the whole family is doing well back in their neighborhood! 💌

[@andygranick]

I can't wait to get this for and stamp set.

[@lynnpinkstaff3383]

Howdy neighbor, I live in Indiana. Lake Michigan is my northern boarder. Love your videos, you always make me smile. 😊

[@juliewebb327]

So cute! I have lot’s of friends I could send that card too.😊

[@deb52500]

We say rooof like moose! That is the Canadian way ♥️☺️

[@tracilord4854]

So cute! & BTW I live in Massachusetts & the easy you pronounced it Laura is the correct way. 🤣 Tell hubby sorry 🤣❤😘 You should send that to me here in Massachusetts 😁👍

[@metadarmawan1767]

Very pretty, I love it.

[@Malyssalp]

Love this card. Your stories are the best! It’s roofs.

[@elizabethnovak4951]

Love the rainbow houses and your uplifting voiceover. I am, however, confused about where you live. It seems like not so long ago that you were headed back to Germany after having gone to the USA to help your daughter after her knee surgery.

[@m.c.5124]

You are the bombdiggety lady!!! Love everything you do though I’m about to puke with the next SSS rainbow kit I’ll defend your right sing it and use it!!!🤣. Stay safe you and thanks for sharing your talents and keeping an smile on my face!!!

[@lorispitzer8289]

Laura - You are so freakin' funny. First, regarding the "roofs" quandary: you do say the "fs" as another commenter explained (see PegMarieD). I pronounce the "oo" as "ooooooo" not "uh." But that is probably just a feature of where I live or how my parents pronounced it as I was learning to talk. That's an era that will live in infamy LOL. The funniest part of the video for me is when you declare that the sentiment says "I wish you were my neighbor." Yes, the essence of the sentiment IS that. But that is not what the stamp says! I was laughing out loud. The stamp says "I wish you lived next door." Thanks for throwing in a "chaps your khakis." That was quality video! Are you all back from Germany for good? I would want the house that is sort of aqua-colored right near the green house. Either that or the light pink or bright pink off to viewer's right. Have a great day! L in PA

[@leannerykard7722]

I just love you!! You always make my day!!! Thank u for the videos!!

[@Ninjamom4]

❤️❤️❤️

[@deeearnshaw9551]

what.a great video - always love your commentary so FUN:)

[@ryantaylor7283]

Any of the blue houses would do!

[@nicolesilhouette]

Hi Laura, i think you mist your calling, you should do Story book telling. I for sure will be the first one to listen :-D Kind greetings Nicole from the Netherlands

[@barbarasmith2426]

I. Will take the red house, love your videos

[@carlenejake]

I love buildings/architecture also! Gorgeous card.

[@judithvalerio6039]

PS, love your mini houses...i had rainbows on my kitchen walls at 6:15 am today... i just live prism s, and i was smiling!!! Yay

[@jcparkins]

I love your rainbow cards and this one is adorable. BTW, according to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, the plural is roofs.

[@MonicaGarcia-fq1kr]

I’ll take the purple 💜 house 🏠 and I want to live in your neighborhood too! LOL

[@janbauch7714]

Love house dies and you card is the best! Are you back living in the states or returning to Germany? You sound happy to be back in Illinois.

[@cooperjeep2252]

I love this card! I live in Illinois also!! 🥰🥰

[@theresagerlach6217]

We sort of are neighbors! We both live in Illinois!

[@cathitrent8738]

[@scrappingranny]

[@hairspraychhchh]

You said your husband was Canadian...if so he calls it a rooooooof. Aka roof Lol. We say rooves if we're talking about more than one roof. You made me Giggle today as I am Canadian also

[@danilaciamacco3618]

[@moreiss1]

[@auntiez7042]

[@DanielDiaz-le9qs]

I would love to be your neighbour ❤️❤️

[@cordeliaalderman391]

My address is.... 😄

[@vebarnid]

I want to be your neighbor and I’ll take the light blue house 🏡

[@judithvalerio6039]

Laura, being from Mass... you are pronouncing Mass ...the way it should be; however, roof in Mass is pronounced like woof, but with the r. However, i have heard folks in your geo area pronounce roof as you do. In any case, considering how badly Mass... slaughters the English language, i mean no disrespect to you or your regional accent.🤗🥰✌😂💐

[@KathleenMc73]

I'll be honest. I've cringed at every video showing these houses cos Americans pronounce roof and roofs differently to us over here in the UK. I (I won't say we as there are regional variations) say roo-f and rooves. dictionary.cambridge.org/amp/pronunciation/english/roof

[@pennyf9886]

massa-too-shets

[@nesbel2007]

Oh! I wish you were my neighbor too!! BTW, I pick the turquoise one, next to the green! 😁
