CMC 's Design Team Has a BIG Secret!

Oh Oh ...   Someone is another yearl older!!!

The Color Me Creative Design Team has a SECRET!!!  
We have a BIRTHDAY BLOG HOP for our fearless leader, and special friend,  Suzanne Dean!   
She is celebrating her 
21st birthday 
and we all know how special THAT birthday is!   

Help us in wishing her a very Happy Birthday by joining in and hop, hop, hopping along with us as  each of her Design Team members take their turn remembering the special things that she loves and of course, taking a little liberty to "ROAST" - OOPS - I meant "TOAST"! her  :D

Many of you probably already know Suzanne, but for those who haven't had the pleasure of meeting this wonderful woman, Suzanne is the owner/creator of Color Me Creative.   Each of us decided it would be fun to remember Suzanne today in "typical Suzanne" style!  Our creations will either help remember a "funny travel moment" with Suzanne or... share a secret about Suzanne.  Ha!!!  Bet she didn't see this coming!!! LOL
Here is what I created today....


Created using Suzanne's Class 5 Tutorial on "Rust"
Not even rust keeps this gal down!

Suzanne created  five  comprehensive and fabulous on-line classes for all those Copic-Lovers at Color Me Creative.  That is how I got started with Copic alcohol ink markers!   In addition, she also coordinated many other classes that are available through her site for coloring those cute little Magnolia images,  using distress inks, coloring with colored  pencils and more!  

HOWEVER - 

Being "On The Road" is one of her all time "FAV"  activities.  She enjoys this so much that she  used that name for her "On The Road" Copic classes.   
Although I have taken ALL (yes all) of Suzanne's  on-line classes,  I also attended her Basic and Intermediate/Advanced classes - On The Road when she was in San Jose, California.   Trust me - She is just amazing and I learned so much.  I am totally impressed with Suzanne as an instructor and as a person!   I feel honored for the opportunity to know her and call her friend!   She is fab-u-lo-so!
 And getting more fabluloso every year!!!!:D   Yes, zzzzzzz's  getting older!   LOL
