24 hours of fun! (punky sprouts and crate paper)

If you have read my blog, you know that I taught a make n' take in New Port Beach last month.

I left on Friday and came back on Saturday because I had another event to go to.

I loved the pictures we took of our little adventure and couldn't wait to start scrapping.

Here is a project I created using Punky Sprouts album and Crate Paper. Love the combination!!

These are my new favorite pens by Sakura!!!

They are called Permapaque

It's an instant dry on acrylic! Love them!!

and the winner is....(plus other things)...

If you were to look at my calendar you'd see that the entire day is filled with stuff to do! I am so busy that I only get to play online from 4:30-5:30pm. (unless I get done with other things sooner).

One of the more fun things I got to do was go to Sakura. I love this company! I love their tools! Yep, I learned a lot today and one of the things is that the glaze pens is a tool.

So I'll be playing with a lot of fun tools that I was given!! Thanks!

I held a crazy fill in the blank contest last week! I read them all and could not stop laughing!! It was hard to pick a winner because they were all so good but did pick one.

Here's the story:

One day Suzy sat on the floor and ________ all day!! When she got up she noticed she had a _________ on her behind. She said___________ to ___________ and then they both _____________ til' they cried! The moral of this story is that ________________.

And the winner is: CHRISTINA PADILLA!!!

Here's her story:

One day Suzy sat on the floor and watched Glee all day!! When she got up she noticed she had a bump on her left bootie cheek. She said "ooh snap! "I look like Kim Kardashian! Holla!" to her husbo and then they both touched it til' they cried! The moral of this story is that you need to rotate cheeks while sitting down on them all day and daydreaming of Mr. Schue in order to get an even KimKA bootay, cuz that's how Sue C's it.
the end. xoxo cp

Christina, email me so I can send you out a package of fun goodies!!!

Off to do more work!! I'll have some more announcements really soon!

Have a great day!

Hugs,

Suzy West

Today has been one of those days. Extra silly...extra goofy...extra...

I'm getting ready to teach in Canada this weekend so I've been kitting all day!

I was on facebook (I know your shocked! LOL)

and I posted this...

One day Suzy sat on the floor and ________ all day!! When she got up she noticed she had a _________ on her behind. She said___________ to ___________ and then they both _____________ til' they cried! The moral of this story is that ________________.

I thought I'd let you all be a part of this.

Fill in the blank and the person that comes up with the most creative story will get a goodie bag full of yummies when I get back from my trip. So post away!! If you posted on facebook, copy and paste it here so I can keep track of them all please!!

A layout and my organization tool!!

Yesterday I was playing with some of my scraps from a previous layout and I did this one.

I love Crate Paper. The colors are so fun and vibrant!!

If you scrap with me, you know I'm constantly making disasters!

I've been trying to get organized so I don't lose the gadgets that I scrap with most.

The other day I was organizing my make up in this storage box and realized I didn't like my make up in there anymore.

So I took everything out and put my scrap stuff in there.

I LOVE this thing for my supplies!! I took it to my first crop last weekend and it was PERFECT!

Here are some pictures of my new baby....I think I'm going to call her: Lady

So what do you guys think of Lady? awesome right? :)

Thanks for looking!!

Scrapbooking stuff!! :)

I've been trying to scrap a little everyday. Lately it's been all about the books so today I decided to do a layout. I have to admit, it was a little hard since I've only been doing projects.

I love the picture and I love the line and you know I love my Sakura glaze pens!!

I think the layout came out pretty cute!

I was asked to do a make n' take at the Reflections event and I came up with this little project.

I'll be at Scrapbook Territory this Friday in case you want to make one.

Just bring your adhesive.
Starts at 6pm.

I'm excited about some new things going on in my scrap world!

I'll get to announce soon so make sure to check back often!!

Hugs, Suzy West

Punky Sprouts meets Jillibean Soup

The other day I got a wonderful package from Jill from Jillibean Soup!!

I absolutely fell in love with each and every piece of paper and embellishment that was in that package. I created most of this fun book at a National Scrapbook Day event that I was at and the rest I did at home.

I called it Moments that took my breath away and put pictures that I love a lot in it. I used the Savvy album by Punky Sprouts

Hope you like it.

Thanks for looking!!

I was thrilled about going on a 24 adventure with three special friends:

The three of us were going to do make n' takes and/or work a booth at the Reflections event.

We arrived around 11:30am and went to the garment district. It was a lot of fun in a small amount of time. We were then off to New Port beach and went straight to work as soon as we got there. It was a lot of fun hanging out with the girls and meeting so many fun scrappers!!

Here are some pictures of the event. I will have more pictures soon!!

Each book had these fun labels next to them. so cute!!

Daniela's fun Art Life Booth!! Lots of yummy goodness!!
