Tomorrow is NEW YEARS EVE!!! I simply cannot believe it. Too fast of a year, but a good one for moving fast as I want this year over already!!! Not that it didn't have it's good points, but next year is just going to be SO much better. I continute to "recover" or improve from my horrific surgery. I am going into the new year tumor free (or so I hope as I won't know for sure if they got it all until my first MRI in a year). My son comes home from his two year mission in Argentina in three months! And I turn 50. How totally exciting is that. Ok, not so much, but because Thane gets... 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!

Studio Calico Sneaks and American Crafts Guest Designer...
Today I am the guest blogger at American Crafts. I worked with their new Christmas line called Kringle and Co. This was my favorite layout of the ones I made, but there are a few more if you hop over to the American Crafts blog. I've also been very busy working on all of my Studio Calico Project Life spreads. Three done and one more to go! Here are some more sneaks. This first one uses JUST the Project Life kit. The colors in this kit are so me! I love it! This next one uses a mix of products from several of the add-ons. This one uses items from both add on 3 and 4. And this last one... Read more →

Studio Calico PROJECT LIFE Design Team...
Well my friends, I have a new industry "job". I laugh when I tell people that I'm working again because I don't really work per se. I do what I love to do and get really excited when someone wants to pay me to do it - haha! I started Project Life this summer after I had my brain surgery to remove my nasty unwanted visitor, Hugh. I was in bed A LOT and I was really feeling like life was happening all around me while I was missing it all laying around trying to recover. Once I made the decision to start working on Project Life, I was motivated to get my butt out of bed and start creating... Read more →

December is Upon US (and it MUST be documented!)
If you have been reading my blog for longer than a year OR if you know me personally, you probably have heard me call myself the Grinch. I hate to admit this because I've decided to change my attitude this year. But in years past, yes, I have publically declared my distaste for the holiday season. BUT, perspectives on life have been altered recently and the Grinch is GONE!!! To start my new "good girl attitude" Christmas program, I've decided to embark on a scrapbooking tradition called December Daily. This is where you make a mini album for December documenting all your fun activities relating to the holidays with one page per day. Since I am ONLY doing Project Life... Read more →
