This has been such a great summer! I have had LOTS of house guests, so my duty has been to entertain! And entertaining at the beach is oh so much fun! We have gone almost every sunny day this summer (and some of the cloudy ones too). What else can you do to entertain old and young for only $3 a day? (unless you accidentally stay longer than you meant to and that goes up to $53 a day!)... When we aren't at the beach, we are usually visiting one of the awesome parks in Laguna. My poor nephew got spun so long by Thane that he almost threw up. Mean mean teenagers! One of my house guests was this... Read more →
My name is Suzy Plantamura. I live in sunny Orange County, California by the beach. I have three kids, one grand baby, and two dogs. I draw watercolor cards and design stamps for Simon Says Stamp. I have a blog series called "one stamp, five ways" that I post to two times a week. I want to motivate and inspire others to use their stamp sets more and learn new techniques. I love designing products and making cards to share with others!

American Crafts Goodness!
I feel really bad - I haven't updated my blog forever! Let's just say summer vacation has gotten in the way. I've had up to six kids at my house every day and we have been hitting the beach quite a lot. Is that a good excuse?!?!?!?! But over the past few days, the scrapping bug hit me! So I decided to do some projects with my American Crafts goodies. They sent the Creating Keepsakes Dream Team lots of their products a few months ago and I have been wanting to work with them forever. So here they are: I made this advent calendar using their Merrymint Christmas line from last year. I used a pattern for the calendar from... Read more →

Happy (Belated) Fourth of July!!!
Happy Belated Fourth of July!!! We spent the weekend in St. George visiting my parents and had such a wonderful holiday! We got to put on our own fireworks show since they are not illegal in Utah - it was so much fun! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend too! Today I am the guest blogger over at Creating Keepsakes. I made this Fourth of July page by embellishing actual firework photos with glitter glue. Head on over to the CK Blog to see all the step by step instructions on how to do it. And a big thank you to Jamie Harper for letting me use her gorgeous firework photos (they are on her blog - check... Read more →
