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.

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.

Beauty is all around me

I have been blessed with so much beauty around me lately!

Beautiful people, places, and things!!

The other day I was teaching a class and one of the words on the layout was beauty. I walked over to one of my students and she had the word spelled out on her arm. I loved the way it looked so randomly that I decided to snap a picture.

This is one of the layouts I taught in the class. I used Punky Sprouts, Glitz, Echo Park, Hero Arts, Epiphany Crafts, and Hambly.

This is another layout that in the class. I love Hambly Overlays. This is one of my favorites! I also used the new Shimmerz!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE!!

Thanks for looking!! Sorry the pictures are not so clear, I snapped them on my cell phone.

This is going to be a busy week as I finish all my assignments and kitting.
Hope I get to see many of you at CHA!!!
If not, keep checking in as I will be posting pictures of projects that I will have featured at the show.

Hugs, Suzy West
