Hello friends! I realize I am kind of late posting this as most of you have probably already completed your Christmas shopping. But I for one have not! And I always like to buy myself a few things, so maybe you are still looking for ideas for YOU! I wanted to share with you my can't live without card making supplies I discovered (or continued to love) in 2017. These are my top 10 in order: 1.

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!

"One Stamp, Five Ways" - SSS January 2018 Card Kit
Today I am doing a "one stamp, five ways" post using the new Simon Says Stamp Card kit and stamp. Here is an image of the gorgeous kit called Favorite Person: I love making Valentine's, so this kit was really fun to work with!
