In love with COLOR....

Since I started working for WOW, I've been totally addicted with color. I love what a lot of my dt members have created for the WOW blog and it's been great inspiration for me!!
All of these layouts and tags use Simple Stories and WOW Embossing Powders

Thanks for stopping by!

Home is where the heart is...PLUS...guess what...

Hi everyone! Checking in from beautiful Florida!!! I'm teaching at Whim So Doodle in Tampa. They have such a great store!! I have a new project to show you. Actually it's just a sneak peek. I am still finishing up a lot of the inside of the book. I gotta tell you...I LOVE this project!!! It's using NEW Generations line from Simple Stories, Basically Bare albums, Shimmerz, Helmars, and a ton more!!!

I will be teaching this project at the following two stores: Photo Scraps in Maryland and the Keepsake Elements in Chicago. I hope you can make it!! :) GUESS WHAT? I've been asked a ton of times if I could mail out kits to people that can't make it to the stores. I will be taking orders on a first come first serve basis. The first one will be a project I am retiring. It's SO popular! I just finished making about 10 more kits! It's the FAMILY BOUND BY LOVE class that I've taught all over the states! Once they are gone...they are GONE FOREVER!

This project comes with a ton of products!! The big 8x10 album is filled with lots of pages, all the papers, stickers, embellishments, etc and instructions. The kit is $45.00 plus shipping. I'll be doing it through paypal. If you would like one of these kits, please email me at psajfamily@aol.com. Have a fabulous weekend!!! Suzy West

Thankful for family...

....everyday! I created a project about my family. I wanted to include private letters so I made this fun "book" that could hold letters and any other memorabilia.

Each page has pretty stickers, die cuts, and other fun products from Simple Stories new line, Generations. I love the pretty colors and patterns that this line has. I started creating it around 9pm and didn't want to stop. My husband had to tell me to go to bed when 2am hit!! LOL
okay...I'll admit...I wanted to keep going and even gave my nephew my Giants ticket so I could continue to play!! LOL
Thanks for looking!! Can't wait to teach this at Treasured Memories in Oak Park, Ca next month!!!
Hugs
Suzy

Make a wish...and a winner

I am so in love with the following combinations: Simple Stories, Basically Bare, Helmars, and Shimmerz! This combo created this book that I'm loving!
I am so excited to teach this class! It's so full of color and dimension. This is a sneak peek of this new project.

Forever in Love with you

I love the NEW Simple Stories line, Generations.

The colors and so bold and pretty!! I'll be honest, normally you couldn't get me to touch a line that was about generations....the colors are usually really depressing but this line is very different.

I LOVE all the pretty patterns and images on their sticker sheets.

This is a layout that i did of my parents.

The line will start shipping to stores all over the end of August so make sure to ask your store if they are carrying, and if they aren't....tell them to pick it up. LOL

Don't forget....one lucky person will have the opportunity to win a collection of theirs so make sure to go two posts down and see what to do to try to win.

Thanks for looking!

hugs,

Simple Stories--Contest and a project

I'm lucky to be the instructor for awesome companies such as Simple Stories. They are a wonderful paper company out of Utah.
I love all their beautiful lines!! This is their 25 days of Christmas line and I'm in L-O-V-E!! You can see the entire line here and some of the projects the DT has created.
This is a project that I created for a lot of my stores that I'll be teaching from now until October!!

So we were thinking we should do a fun contest!!!
How would YOU like to receive one of their collections? Simply leave a comment here on my blog about which line you like and why and then go LIKE their facebook page. When you go to their facebook page...tell them I sent you.
You have from now until August 22nd to do so.

Good luck everyone!!! Have a wonderful week!!!
Hugs

I've been a busy girl!!

I've been a busy girl lately!!!! I went to CHA and had an awesome time looking at all the booths, seeing friends, and doing some networking! When the show was over, I went to downtown Chicago with my friends Katrina and Jennifer!!
I came home from Chicago on Friday at midnight and the next morning I was up bright and early getting ready for a day at Great America, amusement park. We had such a great time!
In the evening I was off to Our Paper Place for a fun night with the girls!! We had an awesome time!!!
On Sunday, our family went off to church and then I went home packed me and Sierra and we were off on a train to Sacramento to stay with our friend Gina and her family for a few days. We had an awesome time!!!
We had a great time scrapping with friends while the kids played in the swimming pool!! We shopped, ate, and had more fun!!!
On my last day there we went to Old Sacramento and visited the State Capitol, ate, and took pictures.
We came home on Wednesday evening and I sat down and planned the next few days while we watched a movie together!!
Today we are going swimming with Angel and the kids. I'll be hanging out at Our Paper Place in the evening.
The rest of the week I have a baby shower, a day at Great America, a Giants game, a full day of cropping and fondue with all my scrappy friends at Our Paper Place, and then re-pack and catch another train to visit my friend Gina and her beautiful family!!!
I have some scoop!!! I am a NEW educator for two awesome companies: Simple Stories and Authentique!!! I'm super excited!!!! I will be teaching with their products at a lot of stores!!!
So look out for where I'll be with in the next few months and next year!!! I have some exciting things going on!!! I'll be using their products on our product that is debuting in January!!
So see...I've been a busy girl!!!
Are you exhausted from reading my post yet? LOL
