Great things are happening, CHA and more!

CHA is just around the corner and great things are happening!!
I'm going to be teaching the Bella Blvd./Punky Sprouts class on Tuesday, July 27th. It's going to be really awesome! We'll be creating a really fun mixed medium project and playing with all kinds of fun products!



I'll be teaching my new books for the first time at Creative Cuts and Crafts in Chicago!! So make sure to sign up when the classes go up! They will take place BEFORE the show!



Tomorrow I get to play with the products that I designed!

I'm working on the NAMES! I have been thinking about them a lot! Shelly has too. She knows me very well and has come up with some good ones.

I was looking at this picture and was thinking...what name would fit great in here?

It needs to be something personal or something that represents me well. The word crazy keeps coming to mind but I don't think that would work well. LOL


Anyways, I look forward to seeing those going there!!!

Sign up for my class, because we are going to have fun!!!

Beautiful Girls--Punky Sprouts and Bella Blvd.

A few months ago I took some pictures of the girls. They came out so adorable. I set up the tri-pod so I could be in one of them. I love how they came out. The only thing that would of made the picture better is if my beautiful niece Alyssa could have been in it.
Anyways, I wanted to make a very girlie book so I used Bella blvd.'s new line with Punky Sprouts Rebel album.
I may copy this book and give one to my mom because she also loved the pictures and she loves this line.





Thanks for looking!
Hugs, Suzy West

Sandy Smiles...all finished

Yesterday I posted the cover of my beach themed book. I was almost done but not quite. So now I'm posting the entire book. I had a lot of fun creating it. I loved everything about it...the colors, the shapes, pictures, stickers, everything!! :)
I did a couple of things to the shape of the pages just to play around. I'll try to explain.
This first page. You can't really tell but it's a thin canvas page. Maybe when you click on the picture you will see it better. I added fun Bella Blvd. chipboard pieces and papers.
The original shape of the canvas page was bigger and was shaped like a bracket. I used the piece that I cut off to another page. You can see it in the back of the book.
Oh you can see the size of the canvas piece here on the left hand side. I added journaling to the back side of the page.
The two pieces to the right were one original chipboard page. It was long like the rest of the book. I cut the pieces to make them smaller. The bracket on the larger chipboard piece was already on the original piece.
The bracket canvas piece that I cut off on the first page, I added to the right side of this chipboard page. I wanted to keep this page simple to show off the beautiful picture.
I added glimmer mist by Tattered Angel's to this page. I love the color Sunflower. It's so pretty!
I took a lot of the round chipboard pieces plus others to decorate this border. I added twine to the buttons.
The last two pieces of this book I adhered together. I created the page on the acrylic piece. Glazed it with mod podge. I then used the last canvas sheet as a background. I adhered it from the backside.
So there's my book!!! Hope you like it.
Hugs, Suzy West
