I Â have a new series that has been in the works for a while now….Maple Street Shoppes…..a series of storefronts! When they are all lined up it will be like shopping in a quaint little town. This first one is a dress shop. There are two versions – Graphic 45 Couture is an elegant women’s dress shop. The second version uses Prima Anna Marie and will be a little girls dress shop. Future shoppes include a tea shop, a candy store, a bakery, a men’s haberdashery, a craft store, a quilt shop, a vintage auto parts store, a pet shop…..the possibilities are nearly endless!
All begin with a standard sized base box created from chipboard. All of the storefronts will be the same size (the height will vary) and the roof lifts off to access a mini album. Size of this first storefront is about 7″ wide x 11″ tall.
The Ustream class for this will begin on Friday, Dec 20. Kits will be available on Friday, Dec 13 at 3pm PDT.
Wow Laura. What can we say. You are incredible.

Oh, NOOOO. Way too precious to pass up. Just when I thought I was getting a handle on the home construction business…Here’s a whole little town…Their size is perfect for the Wee Village. I must build a new room on my own house to set up a tableau. The wee people will need streets……I love it!
Thank you, Laura!
Laura, simply amazing! Such beautiful design, and yet compact! I cannot wait to see all of the Maple Street Shoppes, in particular the tea shoppe and men’s haberdashery! Thank you!

Yippee Skipee! Downtown revitalization!
oh my gosh, I am so excited for this because I was wondering how I would decorate my daughters’ room and this is a great way. I can make these and display them on a shelf. So so excited, now I just have to make time to make these beautiful creations. Love it!!!
Hi there love your work and would be extremely thrilled to purchased kits and complete the town you are making. I live in Australia and want to know if i can purchase them and have them shipped here.
Really lovely, love to have a kit. Is it possible to purchase is while living in the Netherlands?
Wow. This is totally awesome. Amazingly creative. Love it!!
Your creation is beautiful. When the kits are available, I would love purchase one. These would be fun to make.
Ohhhhh myyyyyyyy goodnesssssssssss!!!!!!!!!! This is just AMAZING!!! I can’t wait to see them all in a row how BEAUTIFUL that will be. You are an AMAZING crafter!!!!!
This just blows my mind, I would love to make a series of shops like this French or course! I can’t wait to go back there again, hopefully with a pretty girl on my arm that loves French food and wine and scrapping/art/theater! Really inspired work you are an artist supreme!
I can’t waif
Would love to be able to do your store front series. I couldn’t find a place to purchase the first kit. You do lovely work. I’m so happy I saw this. Thank You for sharing.
You are quickly becoming my new best friend and we haven’t even met! I wish to thank you for everything that you design for us – never in a million years of trying could I think up anything as lovely as you continue to do on a daily basis – your combinations and colors amaze me. Until I came across your work about 6 months ago, I didn’t realize that there was a whole paper world beyond just making cards! I was missing so much.
Oh my, this series is delightful and such a good idea! This shoppe is quaint, adorable and brilliant! Can’t wait to see the next in the series!
I look forward to getting the whole set – Thanks for making more kits available!
Best wishes from Colorado!
