My brother passed away this morning after a hard fight with cancer. I miss him so much. I hope he is haunting me just like he promised. He meant the world to me. Here are pictures of him on his last visit to me in June. I'm so glad I was able to be by his bedside the past few days. 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!

Especially with their wings out! Ahhh, the polar bears. They were playing in the water and it was mesmerizing to watch. These two were definitely in LOVE!

Amy Tangerine Layout and Photo Tutorial
Hello blog readers!!! Today I wanted to post a layout that was on the American Crafts blog yesterday and tell you how I edited the photo that is on it. This layout was made with the new Amy Tangerine collection by American Crafts. As I have already said many times, I love this line! It was so perfect for the colors in my photo.
