… a year of discovering YOU!

Join Suzy of SuzyQ Scraps & Kami of Ziggle Designs in an exciting & touching project 52 with weekly prompts designed to help you share your personal journey … 52 messages & stories from you to future generations … a collection for your loved ones … signed, “Love, Me.”

Project: Love, Me is much more than an “All About Me” album. It is about you, of course — but not a laundry list of facts or answers to simple questions, or even a chronological history. It’s an adventure of self-discovery as we focus on specific themes and delve deep with prompts to help you get to the heart of who you are and share that with others.

In addition to the weekly prompts posted here on the Project: Love, Me blog, Suzy & Kami will release a new collection of digital scrapbooking products every month in 2011, designed specifically to complement that month’s theme and weekly prompts — complete with a full kit, cluster element pack, word art pack, and template pack — everything you’ll need to easily scrap along with each week’s prompt!

Suzy: Once upon a time, I wanted to be a zoologist. As an intern at a local zoo, I one day found myself on rotation at the penguin enclosure. The penguins crowded around me and the 2 zookeepers, squawking as only penguins can, slapping their flat webbed feet on the pavement as they hurried about, heads extended, beaks open wide. Of course, as the intern, I was handed a hose instead of a bucket of fish and I set to squirting the bird doo-doo off of the man-made cliffs amidst the squeal of cheerful children watching the frenzied feeding of the penguins. A penguin affectionately dubbed Snoopy apparently believed anything taller than him possessed food. When I didn’t provide the fish he desired, he got my attention with a stabbing peck to my shin. I fully expected to see gushing blood when I checked my injury … I could have sworn I had been literally stabbed … but I saw nothing, and later only a bruise the size of a pencil eraser marked my insult. (No, I didn’t kick him.)

So see, penguins aren’t very smart … at least, not when they’ve been raised in captivity. And I can’t really blame them for my choice to pursue other avenues & not continue on the road of zoology … but it’s a good conversation-starter, lol!

Who am I? I am me. I am Suzy Iverson. I am wife to the love of my life and mother to my greatest adventure, a rambunctious little toddler who was born to move mountains. (At least, mountains of sand.) I am a creator, a woman, a teacher, a leader, a designer, a writer … a dreamer. (See, I’m not all that different than you.)

Scrapbooking, to me anyway, is a creative & fun way for me to tell my family’s story & record happy memories (& not so happy memories) … and a means for me to share my journey with my children. I especially love digital scrapbooking — no more mess, no more ruined supplies, no more excuses not to scrap (’cause hey, it’s right at my fingertips, every day).

As a designer, I create high-quality digital scrapbook products to help you tell your story with fun patterns & happy embellishments. As a company, I provide not only high-quality versatile products so you can scrap confidently and abundantly at an affordable price but also tutorials, articles, and other resources that will help you grow in your skills & abilities to artfully & effectively capture your family’s memories.

Above all, my goal is to uplift and inspire. I feel so blessed (& humbled) to be a part of the journeys of so many women and families.
