Cutie Pie Chloe

Here is my last Valentines Day cards...and here it's only a month later, lol.
I used this cute Stampingbella image and coloured her up with my Copic markers,
I made the tag with some of the pattern paper that was in this paper pack from Dollarama.
After cutting the shape of the tag, I used a co-ordinating paper to make the tag ring, tied some twine on it and used a heart shaped border punch on the bottom of the tag.

Here are the colours that I used to colour Chloe the Coffee Cup Girl.

I also did a video on all of my completed Valentines cards :)
If you want to check them out on my YouTube channel, here is the link!! "Tracy's Treasures24"

 Now to create some non-Valentines Day cards ;)

Hope you all have a Very Creative Day

Cupcakes and Tea

I made this card for my tea loving friend...and cupcakes always to with tea...or anything else for that matter ;)

I used this Stampingbella image called Chloe the Coffee Mug Girl....but my friend likes tea, so it is a tea mug 😉

I used my Copic markers to colour Chloe up and these are the colours I used.

Even before putting my cards together, I made card bases and added pattern paper to them.
Then with my assembly of making cards quickly, I then coloured all of the images I wanted to use and lastly created the cards.

This paper was so fun as all of the candies on the background paper have sparkles on them.
Here is my card :)

I hope you all have a Very Creative Day 💗

Friends Card

Here is another one of my Valentines Day cards.
I had to hand deliver them as I completed them the night before Valentines Day.

I coloured this image, from Stampingbella called You Perk me Up, when Wayne and I were on our 30 wedding anniversary getaway last month...has it been a month already!?!

This image doesn't have a die, so I fussy cut them out.

I used my Copic markers to colour this image up and these are the colours I used.

I used the papers from our local dollar store, Dollarama.

Thank you so much for visiting me and I hope you all have a Creative Day :)

Happy Mother's Day!!!!

I have to share with you this card I made yesterday during International Scrapbooking Day.
It is not your typical Mother's Day card as it is for a Mother to Be :)

I used this pretty image from "Stamping Bella called Uptown Girl Brynn" has a baby shower.
But I thought it was great for anyone having a baby..perfect for my Mother's Day card as the recipient loves to shop ;)

Here is my sentiment for this card.
I just printed it on my computer.
The tiny hearts in the background was stamped.
The paper was blank in that area and it just needed something, but I didn't want to take away from the image or the embossing, so I used a very light colour of pink and blue ink and scattered the hearts for a subtle look.

I received this beautiful cardstock from "Paper Garden.ca"
They sent me multiple sheets of 5 of their colours.
I used this beautifully shimmer paper called Stardream Kunzite.
I thought the paper was a great one to use with this uptown girl.
The paper is a soft lilac colour (the photos show up better in the images above.
This time I wanted to try and emboss these papers to see how well they stood up.
I was so impressed!!!
Look how beautifully the embossing shows up, yet (because of the heavy weight of the paper) doesn't rip through the paper.

I thought I would do a sketch challenge.
Funny thing is,  I didn't realize the challenge is long over, teehee.
But thought I would share the sketch I used.
The sketch shows 3 different paper strips..which I did, but I fanned mine out.

Here are all of the colours I used to colour in this image.
Yes I used every single one of these markers :)
See I do need all of my Copics ;)

I made this card into an easel card.
I used Mary Engelbreit 6x6 paper collection I had picked up years ago in the dollar section at Michael's.

Onto My Day:
Today being Mother's Day, I got to spend my day with these wonderful young ladies.
Every year I love to spend Mother's day outside with my 3 daughters working in the yard.
A bit of raking, weeding and just sitting around chatting.
This year we hit one of the sheds and cleared it out.
That wasn't on my list, but Ashley started and we just kept at it.

I am so lucky to have these girls in my life.

Here is the card my girls gave me.

As you can see, they leave the card making to me, lol. 

Before spending the day outdoors, the girls prepared me a wonderful brunch of french toast and fruit salad.

Look how pretty they set up the table :)

Look at the beautiful flowers they got me...I love flowers :)

Love the colours. 

After brunch we spent the whole day outside, it was such a beautiful day.

Then for supper Wayne BBQ'd us burgers and baked potatoes...first BBQ of the year :)

And lastly, we had red velvet cupcakes with cream cheese icing for dessert...yum.

Then sat around chatting the rest of the evening until Ashley headed for home.

Such a perfect day. 

I hope you all enjoyed your day and was able to spend it with your family :)

Scrappy Adventure....Day 3

Today was another fun crafty shopping day.

First stop…back to Pine City Scrapbooking :)

Look they have their own pattern paper with their store name on it..sooooo cool!!

These were my purchases from the first day we went to Pine City Scrapbooking on Monday.

I found a few fun Prima stamps and those stamps at the bottom "Great Impressions" so so cute :)

Now onto Todays goodies :)

I came across this fun Tim Holtz file book. They had one already put together in a Autumn theme, so cute. Plus it was under $5.00..bonus.

I just had to grab a couple of these fun Pine City Scrapbooking papers, I have many happy memories there and equally as many photos.

Nabbed this cute Pima Christmas stamp set. 

You all know I couldn't pass up these zombie papers….how Awesome!!!!

I made a mini album of Ashley's "Night of the Living Dead" photo shoot, but haven't done any 12x12 pages…this paper is Perfect for that.

Here is the mini album I did, if you would like to check it out "Night of the Living Dead" mini album.

I just fell in love with this pretty paper by Bo Bunny called Primrose.

I had to get double sheets as both sides were equally beautiful.

I also picked up the sticker sheet and cutouts.

I figured out I might as well pick out some matching card stock and make a kit out of it all.

We then stopped off at the Walmart here.

Oh look, I found some more paper and washi tape ;)

Remember this is a non-judging blog ;)

Everyone kept telling us that we needed to get a cinnamon bun from Tobies.

I can not tell you how delicious these were.

I think I may pick up a few to share with the family when I get home ;)

When we got back to the hotel, we decided to head to the breakfast room/lobby and do some colouring.

The lighting in our room is terrible, as you can tell by my haul photos.

Everyone who walked by us, stopped to see what we were doing and ask questions :)

Sharon had always told me she would never colour as she doesn't enjoy it.

Well guess what….she is colouring now, teehee.

I have been telling her about coloured pencils and using Gamsol (orderless mineral spirits) to blend…..yes I am such a enabler, teehee.

Sharon picked up some inexpensive artist grade coloured pencils and a smaller container of OMS.

We couldn't find a cheap glass container for the OMS, so we went the dollar store and picked up a sponge. The only container that had a tight lid was a jar of artichokes, lol.

So Sharon put the artichokes in a foam coffee cup with a lid, washed out the glass jar and added the OMS :)

See we are creative all around, teehee.

Thought I would share a couple of images that I had coloured up today.

I was showing Sharon how to blend with the OMS with her coloured pencils. This is the image I coloured up…isn't this just so cute?!

I brought my Copics, so figured I had better use them, teehee.

I have never used this colour combination on jeans before, but I really like it.

I tried to make the balloon transparent….I think it worked.

I am now watching Survivor as Sharon is out at the Casino trying to win back some crafty shopping money, teehee.

I hope you all had a Creative Wednesday :)

Matchstick Challenge Take 2

This is the second card that I made for the "match stick" challenge that my friend Denise put on for our crafty group.
For the first card (Which you can see HERE) I only used one matchstick…then found out we were to use more than one.
Not that it is a big deal, as we just do this for fun, but I still wanted to follow the rules…as I am a stickler for them ;)
Also for this card I used materials that I won on a YouTube giveaway from Canadianscrappergirl.

I coloured this adorable image from Stampingbella called Natasha with my Copic markers.
She is so cute and I had fun colouring up her hair.

I used one of the matchsticks as a little fairy wand :)
To colour up the matchstick, I wrapped washi tape around it.
I then punched out 2 hearts (after I coloured the card stock with my Copic marker) and adhered then to each side of the matchstick.

Here is the second matchstick.
I, again, wrapped the stick with washi tape and then adhered this wood veneer flower, after colouring it with my Copic marker, to the matchstick.

I made this into an easel card.
I love these cards, they are so fun to make and to display :)

Oh I almost forgot, I also did a video on the last few cards I have made :)

Onto my Day:
My younger brother Calum and his wife Tammy are in town and they came by today for a visit.
We then ordered pizza and just chatted the day away.
So nice to see them as they live out of town and we don't get to see each other very often.

I hope you all had a Creative Day :)

Tracy :)
