Meet Elien

Your go-to for quick, fun printables and creative inspiration.

Ever found yourself in a bind, needing gift tags for a last-minute present, a birthday card because you forgot to pick one up, or some quick decorations for a party you’re throwing together on the fly? I get it, and I’m here to help.

I’m the creator behind Love and Laugh Games, where I make printable tags, cards, decorations, and games that save the day when time is short. Whether you’re hosting an impromptu brunch, need to add a personal touch to a gift, or you’re trying to pull together some entertainment with just pen, paper, this space is made for you. I’m a creator at heart, with a love for everything from baking and cooking to writing and crafting. In fact, this blog is just one of the many outlets I’ve created to share my passion for all things fun, easy, and a little bit creative. Back in high school, I’d make up ad-lib stories and silly poems for my friends all the time just for the laughs and now that I have children, I make these for them.

I used to feel a little embarrassed that I have a handful of blogs (Baking with Butter, Mint and Twist, Home Grown Happiness, and this one) But I’ve learned that having different spaces for different passions isn’t scattered, it’s honest. I’m someone with a lot of interests, and each blog gives me a place to explore them fully. They’re little creative homes for all the things I love, and that’s something I’ve come to be proud of.

Crafting doesn’t have to be complicated or time-consuming. My designs are simple, fun, and designed to give you everything you need to make a special moment feel even more meaningful, even if it’s a little last-minute.

So, take a look around—let’s turn your “oh no!” moments into “wow, that was easy!” ones.
