new layouts and a little more

I've been a really busy girl! I know I say that a lot, but it's true. LOL Today I spent the entire day kitting a class that I'm teaching at Ever After Scrapbooks this weekend. It's such a fun project and I'm debuting it there.
I've been gone a lot. Luckily, my last trip was for fun, and I took my little Sierra with me. I'm excited to be taking her on another one next month!!
During my last trip, I created a lot of pages using pictures that I took. You can see some of the pictures in my previous post. Here are the rest of the layouts I did.
Most of these are using Fancy Pants designs. I used the same line to show how you could make each layout look different!
This first one was one that I made for a challenge with Gina. We started the challenge one of the last times I was there. We each have to have three rules. A few of the things we had to do to the layout were: use two pictures, use a template, use a punch and create a banner.

This next one is one I love because of the picture. I love these girls! They are so much fun! I used my glaze pen to write the word FRIENDS.

This one is using an Echo Park line. I had a lot of extras and I used them all to create this layout.

This one I love because of the saying. As soon as I found it I had to use it. I love using these chipboard letters by Maya Road.

 

thanks for looking. Please feel free to leave me a comment. Have a great day!

new projects and more!! (picture heavy)

Over the weekend I went to a farewell crop for Patti Snyder. Had a lot of fun with everyone! We didn't stay the whole time because my friend Lisa's husband was making us dinner. He was so sweet to do that and it was so yummy!! We decided to continue to crop and had a lot of fun!!

Love Gina and Lisa!!! I can't believe we didn't take any pictures while we were scrapping.

Here's a project I created over the weekend.

While I was on my trip to Texas I created a TON!!! I don't know what got into me.
Here are the projects.
Pam, owner of Heart Of Texas Studios gave me one of her albums to play with and I made this bad boy!!

Glitz sent me a whole bunch of products to teach with and this is what I did. :)

 

 These projects will be taught at different stores!!! I'm super excited!!!
Thanks for looking!!
Hugs,

Love creating new projects!

I can't say enough times how lucky I am to do what I do for a living. Everytime I create, I feel so grateful that I get to play with lots of my favorite products.
I've been creating a lot of book projects using lots of mod podge, gesso, paints, and my favorite...WOW powders!!!! This project has all this plus Helmars, Epiphany Crafts, and Echo Park Papers. 

Here's a sneak peak of one of the pages on the inside.

I created this while at Scrapbook Territory in Berkley. My friend Kristi Lewis put this crop together for us and we had such a great time! Here are a couple of pictures she took of me and two of my besties!!

This week will be all about creating for CHA, getting my son ready for his senior ball, and for spending time with family.
Thanks for stopping by and seeing what I'm up to! Please leave me a message. :) Love reading your posts.

A stampede has come through my house!

Travel, teaching, and a new project

Hi everyone!!! It's a beautiful day in northern CA. I am feeling so grateful for the beautiful sky that I saw when I walked out my door this morning. It was also nice to feel the suns rays hitting my shoulders. LOVE!!! This week I'm grateful for my health. I recently made a decision to work out. I've been out of shape for way too long. I've been amazed at how great I feel after a good work out. I have more energy, I feel good, and I'm motivated to try new things and eat better. I wanted to show you some fun pictures of one of my last trip. This is a picture of Camille, Elizabeth, and I. We had such a great night!!!

Picture of my display at Ever After Scrapbook Store.

I had such a fun class!!!! Great gals!!!

I'm excited about my next set of classes at Imaginic Scrapbook Store in Puerto Rico!!! We are planning an awesome event!!! I'm working on another project right now for yet another store!!! Here it is.

Well I think that's all for now. Thanks for coming by!! Please leave me a message. I love to read them!!! Hugs,

Remenber this moment-Travel

I love looking at the different pictures that I have from all over the world. It's so fun to see where I've been, whether it's been by myself or with friends and family. I created this layout while I was at my good friend, Gina's house. Her wonderful husband Frank gave me a notebook and I loved the pages inside, so I decided to use one to create with. The rest of the papers, stickers, and more are by Echo Park.

I had already used the star and the word amazing stickers in another project so I used the negative. I like how it looks. Thanks for looking!!! Hugs

Happy Days are here again!! :)

I love the new HAPPY DAYS line by Echo Park! Madison gave me the collection to play with and I couldn't wait to create with it. I made this layout of pictures of me in London.

I have a lot of exciting things going on right now! I can't share them yet but i do want to say how grateful I am for the wonderful opportunities that are constantly coming my way. A lot of it I get to busy for, so I'm always happy to share the wealth and refer friends that I feel will work well with specific companies.
My favorite thing is to teach and I can't get enough of it!!
Thanks for reading my blog!! Your posts always inspire me to write more.

Hugs, Suzy West

A Natural Beauty

The night before CHA, Madison from Echo Park Paper gave me this beautiful line to create with. I fell in love with it as soon as I saw it!! I was in my hotel room so I didn't have many extras to play with but truly it didn't need much, the stickers and papers it had were gorgeous!!
I was asked to teach with this line from a lot of my store owners all over the country and abroad so last night while cropping at my friends place (where I still am...YAY!!! Love you GINA!!) I started creating a NEW version of the one I made at CHA!! It has a little more in it!! :)
Here are some of my favorite pages from the book! I'm so lucky to be teaching with Madison's beautiful lines!!

I used Basically Bare for my album, Victoria line from Echo Park, Helmars for my liquid adhesive, 3L for my tape, Clear Snap and Ranger for my ink pads, Hero Arts for my stamps, Ranger for my paint and glossy accents (for creating an epoxy look on cover), Sakura for my pen, and Hambly for my overlays. Thanks for looking!!!

CHA madness!!!

I swear I haven't forgotten about my blog!! I've just been super busy! I have been busy setting up meetings to talk with people and doing some "research". :)
As always I design a lot of projects for CHA using a whole bunch of different lines.
I wanted to post soem of the projects that I created.

Hambly--They came out with new papers and rub-on's. They are so super cool!!!

This is a little mini book that I created using the new Hambly overlays and rub-on's.

Here's another layout I created using their beautiful overlays.

I created this project using the NEW Basically Bare books. LOVE these!!! I used the new Echo Park to create with!!! I also used Hambly and Epiphany Crafts. LOVE LOVE LOVE!

I created these two projects in my hotel last night!!! Madison from Echo Park gave me products to create with and this is what I made.

I used Basically Bare to make these. This is the new HAPPY DAYS line.

This one was created with the VICTORIA line.
I did more but I didn't get pictures. ooops! Thanks for looking!!!! Have a great day!!!

Basically...this is my favorite booklet!!!!

I've been in heaven playing with these amazing books by Basically Bare!!! Seriously...this one is my favorite!! It's 8x10...and really in this instance...size does matter!! LOL
I'll be teaching this project at a few different scrapbook stores which I'll post soon but in the meantime...These are a couple of my favorite pages, what do you think?

I used Echo Park and Hambly to decorate this lovely book. I gave it color with paints and of course Shimmerz, my favorite!!! I adhered everything down with Helmars. LOVE THE STUFF!
