I love this quote and I wish I knew who wrote it so I could give them credit. I've been dealing with some HAIL lately! And during it all, I have found so many blessings which I call my rainbows. By focusing on my blessings, I am able to get through the toughest days. One of my rainbows during this time has been my son Thane. Thane is doing wonderful on his mission in Argentina. I am so incredibly proud of him. A mission gives you a chance to learn how to take care of yourself, live on a tight budget, get a long with a constant companion, make your own meals, rely on the Savior to get you through,...

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!

MONSTERS and a Winner!!!
Not sayin' that the winner is a monster. And I really apologize for not announcing the monster, I mean winner on Friday as I said I would. I became obsessed with cleaning and organizing my office which really involved cleaning and organizing my dining room as well. My supplies had spilled over... I decided if they don't fit into my rather small office, they will no longer reside in our home. So purging is in process! Anyway, back to the winner. I was so pleased and LOVED all the nice comments on my American Crafts blog post below. You were all so nice to compliment my work and it made me very happy! Thank you for taking the time to...

Project Life Weeks 32 and 33
Yikes, I hate to publically admit this, but six weeks into PL, I am two weeks behind! The girls just started school today though, so I will catch up quickly. I am so sad that summer is over, but I am so incredibly thankful that I started Project Life this summer so I have all of our wonderful memories documented! It was the best (and laziest) summer ever!!! Here is my week 32 spread and some detailed shots. I am trying to incorporate my doodles into each week's spread. Here is week 33 with some detailed shots as well. Another week spent at the beach - same thing all summer! Hope you made it through all these photos! DON'T FORGET... Read more →

American Crafts Farewell Blog Hop (and a give-a-way!)
I am excited (and sad) to be participating in an American Crafts Design Team Farewell Blog Hop today. The end of our term is here...and a new team will be starting on September 1st. It's been a great two years working with American Crafts and I will miss it! I have loved working with all of American Crafts wonderful products, but I have especially liked the lines designed by Amy Tangerine and Liz Kartchner. I think Sketchbook might have been my favorite line of all time since I am such a doodler and love watercolors. Here are some of my layouts using lines by these two talented designers. First the Neapolitan line by Liz Kartchner: Next, the Sketchbook line by... Read more →
