creating...outside my little box

It's that time again...CHA is around the corner and I do nothing but create projects...ALL THE TIME! I've been doing a lot of designing with a lot of friends and family and I gotta say it's a lot of fun but by the time we are done...I think there's nothing else I can create. LOL This is a project that I started on Sunday and finished yesterday. I used the Authentique paper line and the rest are WOW Embossing Powder products. I held all the papers with Helmars.

This next project I'm kinda surprised over....I hadn't planned on making this...but felt inspired!! I found the canvas in my garage and had the rest in my scrap area. I used: WOW Embossing Powders, Shimmerz, Girls Paperie, Sakura Glaze pens, Helmars, and some embellishments.

Thanks for looking everyone!!! I hope you like them. Hugs,

Creating with Authentique

I've been busy creating with Authentique since I became a teacher for them!! I love their products so it's not hard! LOL I'm getting tons of projects done so I can get all the details to all the stores that I plan to teach at!!
I've had some stores ask that I create a book similar to one that I created before but with this new line. I'm super excited about this project!
Here are some sneak peaks!!

I'm in Sacramento right now with friends and they are playing with it too!!
All of us are also using Hambly, Helmars, and more!!
I am also excited about something else. I'm helping a company that's been around for a while in the UK debut in the US at CHA, Winter!!!
I've contracted Gina Lideros, Angel Bartonico, Sarah De Guzman, Tricia Wilson, and Erin Payne to be my dt coordinators. I will be doing a DT call soon and all the girls will be working with myself and the one of the girls above!!!
We are all very excited!!!!
I'm looking for product designers (stamp designers) and more!! If you are interested in showing me your work please feel free to post here or contact me personally!

Have a wonderful week!!
Hugs, Suzy

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
If you read all this...you rock!!! LOL
Have a great week!
