Imageless Card?!?

A card without a coloured image!??!
I know right, I don't have many (if any) cards without coloured images on them.
I wanted to put a coloured image on this card, but no matter which one I tried, they kind of got lost in the papers.
So decided to go imageless ;)

I started to follow this February sketch that "SCT Magazine" posted on their blog....that really wasn't a success as I kind of forgot and went my own way, teehee.
But I do like this sketch and plan on using it again in the future.

I just want to invite you all to my new Facebook Group called Tracy's Treasures Shares.
I started this group as a way for us all to share what we are creating on Facebook.
A drama free group that just focuses on our art...no matter what your medium of choice is.
I would love to see you there 💗
If you would like to join in, here is the link "Tracy's Treasures Shares"

Hope you all have a very Creative Day.

XOXO Card with CC Designs

I have so much to share!!
I haven't even shared all of my Valentine's Cards.
I gave this one to my daughter Kristy 💗

This is a CC Design image.
I love colouring up these images.
They are so cute and the size of the stamps are perfect!

I used my Copics to colour this little cutie up, and here are the colours I used.

The papers I used where from the set I received from our local dollar store Dollarama.

Thank you for coming and visiting me today💗
I hope you all have a very Creative Day :)

Happy Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day 💗
I hope you were able to spend your day with your special someone, or spent the day being good to you.

Here is a card I made for my husband.
I used one of the polaroid frames I made for a class I taught at the Craft for Heart event...which I will share with you soon.

This cute image is from Taylor Expressions which I received in my SCT Sampler kit!
Cute right?!!

I used my Copics to colour them up.
Here are the colours I used.
I also used a blue, red and yellow Spica glitter pens.

I just love this image...and it came with the matching die!!!

I made this card for my grandson Sawyer.
I liked the card, then my daughter told me he took off the top layer....I think I may need some stronger adhesive, lol.

I coloured the elephant with my Copics, but I didn't use my Copic papers, just regular 110 lb cardstock, so the colours didn't blend as nicely.
I paper pieced the umbrella and punched out some tiny hearts and adhered them.
Now that I'm looking at this image...I see I forgot to draw in his tail, lol.

With it being Valentine's Day, I have a gift for you all.
I started up a new FaceBook group.
I still have my Tracy's Treasures page, but the only way you all could share with me, was through private messages.
I wanted a group where we all could share what we are doing.
So after a year or more thinking about it, I finally did it!!
Here is the link, and I hope you all join me and share your projects and share your love to others on theirs.

I hope to see you there 💗

Happy Valentine's Day

Today is Valentines day, but Wayne and I are more excited about the new episode of the Walking Dead!!!
With that in mind, here is the Valentines Day card I made my honey ;)

Wayne surprised me this morning with some flowers and chocolate.
He isn't big on flowers...jewellery, yes, flowers not so much.
I was pretty surprised when I saw him come in with flowers today.
He told me, I figured it has been about 28 years since I last gave you flowers, I thought it was due time, lol.
Actually the first time he had given me flowers was when he proposed and the ring was in one of the roses.
He has got me flowers a couple of times in our 33 yrs together, but today's flowers surprised me more then when he proposed to me, lol.

I hope you all have a wonderful and creative Valentines Day :)
We are having a Walking Dead marathon before the new episode starts....perfect day!!

Mini "Love" card

I went down into my craft room to make a few Valentines cards for my family.
But after looking in my card stash…I see I have more than enough for this year.
And with my goal to send the cards that I already have, I didn't need to make any.

When I make my cards, I usually make them 5.5x5.5, which leaves me with a 3x11 piece of card stock left over from my base, perfect for a 3x3 card.
I made this card awhile ago but it needed a little something.
So I used my new Teresa Collin's "Love" punch, to spruce my card up a bit.
I punched "Love" 3 times and layered them for a thick-chipboard look to it and then adhered it on my card.
These small 3x3 cards are so fun to make….and a perfect way to use up some of those tiny scraps :)
My oldest daughter Ashley has a love with journals, notebooks and her new love of planners, just like me :)
She sent me a link to a mint coloured KikiK with gold details.
Ashley was trying to figure out a way to justify purchasing this planner ;)
I had asked her at Christmas if she would use a planner, and she didn't think she would.
She really likes how I decorate my planner pages and my fauxbonichi, but she said her note book for work is functional, but boring.
I told her we couldn't have that, and to bring it over next time she comes over.
Which was tonight ;)

She writes a lot in her book for work, so I needed to keep the writing area clear.
So I used washi tape to decorate the top of each page.

Isn't this such pretty washi :)

I also did a bit of stamping.
Because the ink shadowed through to the next page, I would add washi on the next 2 pages.
I hope this makes her smile when she opens this book in the morning at work.

Our cat Luna loves to be around us, especially when we are in the kitchen.
When we are in the kitchen, she is either at her food dish, on a chair pawing at us as we walk by, or on the top of the cupboards watching us eat our dinner.
But tonight, she enjoyed watching Heather wash the dishes, teehee, she is so cute.

I hope you all had a very Creative Monday.

February Card Challenge

If you remember from last month I am doing a monthly card challenge with my friend Phillane.
Click here for last months card.

Here is February Challenge card.
The elements we decided for this card are..
1. We had to make an easel card.
2. We had to use a gorguss girl image.
3. It had to be a Valentines theme.
4. We had to use flowers

I used a lot of hearts on this card :)
The border punch is a Martha Stewart border and a corner punch.























I used this adorable image and coloured it with my distress markers.
Surprised I didn't use my Copics aren't you ;)
I used the distress markers as water colours.
I used water colour paper and added some colour from the marker and moved it around and blended it with my water brush.

The little hearts that are hanging from the umbrella are not from the image.
I wanted her to look like she is showered in love.
I coloured some white card stock with the same colours as I used on the image and then punched the hearts out with a heart punch.
I then sandwiched the hearts in-between crafters floss. Crafters floss is like twine, but more stiff.
I then stamped the top of the umbrella, coloured it up again and popped it on the main image to hid the crafters floss in-between the umbrellas.

Even though I have my flowers organized (and I have more than enough) I couldn't find any that I liked that went with this card.
So what do I love to do……make my own.
Like the hearts under the umbrella, I coloured up some white card stock with the same distress markers and punched the flowers out with a flower punch. I then formed the flowers and added some sparkle :)

For the heart pins, I did the same as flowers and hearts, but sandwiched them in-between a tooth pick and added some distress stickels.

I did a video with even more detail on this card. I have a bonus Bloopers ;)
To watch it on my YouTube channel Tracy's Treasures24

I was very creative today.
I did my video, edited it and posted it.
I didn't think anyone was going to come for Friday Night Scrapbooking as we got a snow storm.
The schools were even closed…we never have school closures here as we are accustom to snowstorms here.
But my friend Debbie came by and we completed some cards that we started back on our girls creative getaway back in August.

Kristy and I went to help my friend Myra, as she got stuck in her daughters driveway. We helped shovel and I suggested using her floor mat for traction, as her tires were just spinning. It was a success and we actually cheered when she got out :)

I hope you all had a very creative Friday :)

Tracy :)
