Challenge 3 - Choosing Your Colors I chose my colors for this layout to bring out the great bright colors on the take-out menu from our favorite restaurant. The orange background also brings out the orange color of the rice in the food pictures. B…

This is for Challenge #1. When Noell spoke about her bowl of little bits of leftovers I realized we both do the same thing. This started out as paint chips and then I used all sorts of "little bits" to decorate each one with a letter from the alphab…

This is for Challenge #3. It is a hand colored photo of myself as a child. I chose papers with the same color as my dress. I printed out some digital papers and since there were a lot with coordinating colors I chose to layer a few. All the colors c…

This is for Challenge #4 - a mini art journal. Everything was done mini size but I tried a lot of new techniques. The cover features a heart made from paper towels which I had used to clean my space and then left dry for a dyed look. I used several…

Challenge 2 - Flexible Template - I use the 3 in a row sketch/template quite a bit. The inspiration for the design of the "Mud" layout came from Lisa Day. She used misting that left the ink splatters which reminded me of the ink splattering techniqu…

Challenge 1 - Repurpose your old items - I have a gazillion metal framed tags that I've had for years. I wanted to highlight my granddaughter holding the lizard between her fingers. My first thought was some circle bling I had on hand, but then usin…

Challenge #3: Lately I have been buying a lot of purple to add to my new wardrobe... not a typical colour that I was used to wearing... but I have begun to love it... hence the title of my layout and the use of the colour purple... "Pretty in Purpl…

Profile Information

How long have you been scrapbooking?
Since the 70's - yep I'm that old - they were just memorabilia, photos & jouranling but some of my favorite albums still.
Relationship Status:
Married
About Me:
I married to a wonderful man & we have 2 grown sons. Both of them have wonderful longtime girlfriends who are like daughters. We love our "critters" and have a dog (Rosie) & 4 kitties. We're active in our church & missions.

Within the last year or so I've discovered the online scrapbooking community & it's really ignited my passion like never before. A day hardly goes by when I'm not doing some kind of paper craft.

I've recently started to submit to pub calls & design team calls. I'm excited by the recognition & hope it continues to grow.

I design for Everything Scrapp'n (www.everythingscrappn.com).
Website:
http://www.craftysuz.blogspot.com
Favorite Music:
My IPOD is filled with a bit of everything from Rock - Country - Jazz - Classical - Gospel. It just depends on my mood.

A good Springsteen, Bon Jovi or Jackson Browne still aways makes me smile....
Favorite TV Shows:
I love the DVR so we can watch our shows when we want to - great invention....

I like ER, Grey's Anatomy (though sometimes the story line is annoying).

We watch a lot of shows on PBS, History Channel, Animal Planet & Discovery.

A guilty pleasure is catching Days of our Lives some days at 1pm - I kid my mom that it's one of my earliest memories - she would watch everyday so that's the only one that I know who is who but you sure don't have to watch daily to keep up lol
