I have seen her around the scrapbook world for years but what is her claim to fame? Or is she just very assertive?

She written books and has a decent following. She's been on lots of design teams and has been in the crafting world for years. She has quite a few different shops that hire her to come out to their businesses and do weekend crops where she shows different techniques and paper lines. Places like Doodlebug let her come out to their warehouses and do crops and let people see the latest creations. She travels to different countries to share her love of scrapbooking. I've been to a dozen of her crops. And yes, I'd say she is also very assertive.

I am actually at the Photo Play Paper warehouse in Mesa, AZ this weekend with a Let’s Get Creative event with Suzy West. We are having the best time and Jody the owner is so generous! Our visiting scrapbook store is Michele with 3 Craft Chicks from Spokane, WA.

I think knowing her is really hit or miss. She has certain scrapbook stores that she seems to rotate around and if you happen to frequent them, you know her. She puts lots of stuff on FB and is really good at taking paper and embellishments and creating something quickly. Oftentimes at a crop, she'll take your pictures, pick out some paper and ephemera and make you a layout in 20 minutes. You pay for the cost of the paper and embellishments. If she is demoing a particular line, she'll create a layout and offer it to anyone for the cost of the supplies.

She just taught some classes at my not-so-LSS. They were very expensive and nothing really new or exciting (at least, to me).

One of my friend attended a crop and from what she said...Suzy is full of energy and talks alot. She is fun but her pages and albums are pretty basic and she did not learn anything new. So basically she hosts a crop at manufacturer's facility and they are way overpriced. People shop from manufacturer directly at full price while they are at crop and all the profits go to the store that travels with suzy. My friend also said that people attending this crop were mostly suzy's friends and she felt left out. She attended a crop at MME warehouse.

The first thing I thought of was did she have a scrapbook store in her garage at one time that was very popular? Seems like she has been around for decades.
