A day to spend with your family. All the stores are closed.....even Walmart, lol.
So my day was spent with my family. Wayne, Heather and I watched Fringe, then House, and now Bones.
While Kristy and Ashley baked muffins and brownies.
A perfect day in my book :)
Here is a card I made at my creative get away.
I love the colour combination of pink and burgundy.
A simple card. I wanted the image to be the main focal point of this card.
I didn't put on a sentiment as I want to be able to use it for any occasion.
Isn't she so cute.
I paper pieced her hat and dress.
I coloured the ribbon on her hat and the ribbon on the flowers, as it was easier then fussy cutting them out.
As much as I don't care to fussy cut, I love the look and that I can match parts of the image to the background paper I am using.
I just punched these flowers out, shaped them in the cup of my palm and added some sparkle.
Being that it is Family Day, I was surprised to get a parcel today.
I had won some YouTube candy from Yvonne, she also has a blog.
Now look at all this yumminess.
I noticed that my package was opened and resealed, Customs can't be to careful. But I am happy to report that everything was re-packed nice and neat :)
My day was spent relaxing with the family.
I was going to colour some images, but seriously just didn't want to get off my butt, lol.
But I did have to hem some pants for Kristy as she is going to her placement tomorrow, and needed black pants. I am so excited and nervous for her. I know she will be fine. Hope she enjoys her placement in the bakery for her careers class.
Hope you all had a more creative Monday than I did ;)
Tracy :)
What a sweet adorable card. I hope you had a great Family day!!! Thanks for your sweet comment on my blog.
ReplyDeleteFamily Day was invented since I left the mother land. I wanted to head to Lethbridge today since Curtis was off. But, then I heard itbwas Family Day and I know how everything closes down for a national holiday. I need to get a passport photo and I need to get it done in Canada. Last time it took 3 photos before they accepted it.
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a good day with your family.
That is a lovely card Tracey!
ReplyDeleteAnd a nice, big package of gifties...you lucky girl...You deserve it!
Beautiful card Tracy, I think it's adorable. What a wonderful way to spend the day with the family and relaxing. I can smell the brownies all the way here in Missouri...:)
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful bunch of scrappy goodness you won, yay for you!
Really? Stores are closed for Family day? We don't get it here until next year. Lots of goodies to play with! The paper pieced dress and are cute!
ReplyDeleteThat is so cool! I would love it if we had a Family Day here! Your coloring is just amazing!
ReplyDeleteMaribel

ReplyDeleteCute card and you sure scored some really YUMMY candy. Congrats.
ReplyDeleteoh what a cute card and WOW your happy mail looks AWESOME!
ReplyDeleteWow, what a wonderful package of treats!
ReplyDeleteLOVE that card - and congrats on the set of goodies - I know you will put them to great use!
ReplyDeleteVery nice card, Tracy -- love all the goodies you received. Sounds like you had a nice, relaxing day with your family!
ReplyDeleteSuch a sweet card!
ReplyDeleteI love the card and all the goodies, but I really love the idea of Family Day. It is so nice to have a day where everything is closed so you can spend time with your loved ones. Supposedly everything was "closed" in America yesterday (for President's Day), but that wasn't true, because my parents, AJ and I were all working!
ReplyDeleteOo I wish we had a family day! Great paper piecing on your card!
ReplyDeleteShe is adorable, the goodies are awesome looking, and your cocoa sliders are so cute! The goodies are especially yummy looking since I put myself on a paper craft diet- gotta use a bunch of stash before I am allowed to get any new stuff. Of course I am taking a class on Thursday, so we'll see how my strong willpower is then. :)
ReplyDeletefamily days sounds bliss... the card is beautiful. I am glad you like your goodies! have fun with them all...:)
ReplyDeleteThat card is as sweet as can be! Love the piecing. Glad you had a relaxed day...I worked (blech!).
ReplyDeleteOh, great work. Beautiful card. Love your blog. New follower.
ReplyDeleteVery cute card! Wow, I think Christmas Day is the only day Walmarts close around here. Monday must have been a very special day!
ReplyDeleteI love Family Day, you Canadians have got it figured out! What a cute card. I know what you mean about fussy cutting, but really, sometimes it's kind of relaxing to me. Is that strange? :) I'm so happy you had a great day with your family!
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of family day. What a great holiday. As much as I don't like the images that have no nose and mouth I have to say that one is really cute. I love the card. What a LOT of great goodies you won.
ReplyDeleteI love your card! So sweet, her dress is adorable. You won a load of fun stuff! Can't wait to see what you do with it!
ReplyDeleteAnother adorable card. Your picture are great. What kind of camera do you use for blog pictures and videos?
ReplyDeleteFamily day is awesome! Glad you and your family are enjoying it. Oo... I like how you made the dress matches the background. Very cute!!!
ReplyDeleteSuch a sweet card, as usual! Love the shades of pink.
ReplyDeleteThe goodies you received look amazing! That's quite a load of really good stuff! Congrats on winning!
