HI ! My name is Suzanne Reynolds, originally from Buffalo, NY, married
with three grown children and five grandchildren. I was a part of the workforce
for many years in accounting and technology; however, I am now
retired, residing with my husband in the Phoenix Metro area.
Paper crafting is not new to me; however, I have seen many changes and
advancements in the last 25 years and love new techniques and ideas. You
can visit me at iluvscrapping2.blogspot.com to see some of my old and
new.

It didn’t take me long after leaving the workplace to bring out my old stash
and with my daughter’s help to update my stash and that motivated me to
enter blog challenges to share my creative side. I went from challenges, to
Design Team member for other challenges and now enjoy setting up my
own Blog Challenge at Double Trouble Challenge. Please visit to see what
Thing 1 Trouble Maker, Thing 2 Double Dare and Thing 3 Twisted Sister
are up to.

In 2015 my daughter introduced me to the seasonal Coffee Lovers Blog
Hop and I have been participating since. My heart goes out to Amy for all
the work and dedication she and her Team put into this Blog Hop to give all
the caffeinated paper crafters a great incentive to share their creativity too.

This is one of the first cards I shared in the Coffee Lovers Blog Hop back in
2015. I saw Brentwood on so many cards, adored him and usually did a
card or two with Brentwood each season thereafter.

My next card is one from June, 2016 “Coffee Is Nature’s Way of Making Up for Mondays” and this is where I started a lot of fussy-cutting and layering for dimension and just happens to be some whimsical owls.  What a difference in just three years how my fussy-cutting has been somewhat eliminated using my Cricut, Cuttlebug and/or my Brother Scan and Cut machines.  Although it never bothered me to fussy cut, the adjustment period was minimal and inviting.

My next card was from Fall/Winter 2018 “Happy Pumpkin Spice Season” and is full of die-cuts using the Cuttlebug, no fussy-cutting in this one.

Well, it’s time for me to get back to my scrapbook room and get some projects done for the Blog Hop.  Anxious to see what everyone shares with this Fall/Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop.  See you there.
