Laureen DuBois

Design Team Coordinator

Never did I ever imagine I would be on a Design Team for an amazing crafting boutique after making my start in life in the corporate world! I’m thrilled to be part of this talented group and look forward to sharing my projects, while rising to the challenge of trying new products and techniques myself.

I started with the Paper & Ink Boutique in January 2021 as a Craft Consultant. My passion is cardmaking (and anything to do with hot foiling!) but really, I love all types of paper crafting. Being a part of the store and surrounded by so many creative folks and great products has really sparked my creative interests in many other areas too, such as multi-media and art journaling. I’m so grateful to have this artistic passion- it brings me such joy to spend time in my craft room! I actually get a bit grouchy if I don’t get in there every day now!

I log hundreds of hours watching talented crafters, always looking for new ideas and inspiration. I hope you will find our Design Team’s projects a source of inspiration and they encourage you to be creative in new ways!

I’m super excited to be a part of this Design Team! I’m the ASM at the store and am truly passionate about paper crafts. I design classes and Take n Make’s for the store and have always enjoyed sharing my knowledge and enthusiasm for the products and techniques with others.

I have been card making and scrapbooking for 25 years and believe that creating Art of any kind is so good for the mind and soul Plus the Craft community is the best!!

I have a lovely craft room where I spend a lot of time, it’s definitely my Happy Place!

My first love is Paper followed by stamps and dies and everything in between ;)

My perfect day starts with puppy snuggles from my dog Marley, good coffee, a great show to binge watch and uninterrupted time in my craft room!

I hope my projects inspire you and encourage you to try new things!

Hi everyone! I am so excited to be a part of The Paper & Ink Boutique Design Team!

I have loved expressing my creativity through arts & crafts since I was a young girl; drawing, painting, and creating of any kind are a passion of mine!

I also love to inspire others by sharing my projects and processes! I started scrapbooking when my children were young and have loved documenting our story as a family over the years. I taught many card making classes as a Stampin' Up! demonstrator in the evenings during my career as a high school teacher.

Now that my husband and I have semi-retired, we enjoy spending time with family and having the flexibility to pursue things we love to do. You can find me sharing my projects on Facebook, Instagram and YouTube!
