Please welcome to our Design Team - Suzanne Torr

Hi there, my name is Suzanne Torr (aka fruitysuet online) and I live in a village in the middle of England – lots of greenery and hills but not too much sunshine! I have been married to Len for over twenty years and am mum to three children who are the focus of most of my layouts; Josh aged 15, Chiara aged 11 and Mia aged 9. We also have two beautiful British Blue Shorthair cats (or fluff balls as we affectionately call them), two rabbits, two guinea pigs and two goldfish.
I discovered scrapbooking in May 2004. I found a craft shop which offered evening classes and thought it would be fun to do something for myself on the one night of the week I wasn’t taxi’ing everyone else to their classes! The choice was patchwork or scrapbooking. I sat in on one of the scrapbooking classes and was totally hooked on the idea.
I adore playing with patterned paper (my totally favourite scrapbooking supply) and telling the story through pictures and words. Then when I discovered a local scrapbook supply store, nearby crops and online forums there was no going back – I love the social aspect of it all as well as the opportunity for creating. But, most of all, I love that playing with beautiful supplies and re-living fond memories is so therapeutic and helps me focus on the good things in life.
I’m thrilled to have been chosen to be a part of the Design Team here at Creative Scrappers - I find the sketches and work by the other Design Team members so inspirational.
