A Little Bit About Me
Hi there! My name is Inez Stanway, and I am the creator of LiveLaughCreate.com!
I am an ex-elementary school teacher and a proud mother of two young boys based out of Atlanta, Georgia. I am also fortunate to be married to an incredible husband who inspires me and always makes me laugh.
If I am not drawing or planning my next party, you will most likely find me in my veggie garden, traveling, upcycling old furniture, watching TikTok for life hacks, and embarrassingly binge-watching trashy reality TV!
How Did LiveLaughCreate.com Come About?
Before I took the deep dive into running this website full-time, I was an elementary school teacher of 11 years.
While I loved being an educator and have many fond memories of this, it became a grueling job (overworked, underpaid, and underappreciated), which most teachers can attest to!
Ultimately, I made the tough decision to hang up my hat as a teacher and try my skills at something else. After months of brainstorming alternative careers, my husband, who is a web developer, came up with the light bulb idea of creating a website of my very own.
This was a perfect overlap where I could still share my experience and passions for education, art, and parenting while also being my own boss!
What Is My Mission Statement?
LiveLaughCreate.com strives to be the best website on the internet for providing high-quality, easy-to-use, and free printables for teachers, parents, and children.

How I Create My Printables
Being a self-taught illustrator and designer (thanks, YouTube!), I learned how to create printables and drawings with various tools, including Sketchbook Pro, Procreate, Canva, and Adobe Illustrator.
In 90% of cases, I use the iPad app Procreate to illustrate and create most of my coloring pages and drawings as I find it the most simple to use.

How Does This Website Make Money?
At the moment, it doesn’t!
My long-term plan is to have this website entirely supported by ads, which will allow me to make an income while also keeping the printables free.
I might also offer some exclusive printables for sale, but I’m still not sure about this! I would love to hear your thoughts!
