Dance Your Way

Hello Everyone. I am sharing with you a card that was inspired by 2 challenges but came together once I found the sentiment that I used.

I have always loved this saying and I had a chance to use it in conjunction with the challenge from Time Out Challenges 

And to bring everything together I went looking for a sketch to work with and I found this one over at Sketch Saturday

The measurements that I have given are to make a rectangle (A6) card front. To make a square card I would just use a 12cm squared card front. 

The paper pack that I used is Fine and Sunny by Kasiercraft. This isn't available anymore as it has been sitting in my stash for quite a few years. I found the heart gem in a boxed of mixed decorations and thought that it would just finish off the card.

Thanks for stopping by and looking at my card. Before you go I would like to leave you with this thought

A have 2 friends who are like this and I am always grateful for them. I hope you have someone like this in your life.

Have a Happy Crafty Friend,

Get Well Wishes

Hello Everyone,
Another card made while I am away on holidays with my family. I always travel with my craft supplies - actually it's the first thing that I pack👍 But now we can travel with my laptop and internet so that I can continue to craft which is what I love doing. As I am typing this we are all doing our own things - reading, playing games and colouring.

But anyway onto the reason I am sure that you stopped by my blog today - to see my project

This is a digi image from Bugaboo Stamps called Kidz Rose Boy. Using him this time around I decided to make a get well card because who wouldn't want to find this cutie on their doorstep if they were feeling a little under the weather. I coloured him in with my Copic markers and the grass as well. But after I had finished with them I used my Polychromos pencils to add more depth and the very light fluffy clouds in the background.

But as you may know about me I love starting with a sketch and this card is no different. This time I around I used the latest sketch from Sketch Saturday

I had some fun with the holographic stickers that I bought on camp with me and added some instead of the button detail. Thanks for stopping by and looking at my project. Before you go I would like to leave you with this final thought



Where our travels have taken us this time around. A beautiful place to visit, I love coming here. I like going to places where I have been before but exploring different and new areas. The weather has been kind to us.

Have a Happy Crafty Kind of Day,

Just to Say

Hello everyone,

A non Christmas card I am sharing with you today. I looked in my stash of cards and I am quite low on anything other than Christmas. So I better get a move on making other themed cards otherwise these other occasions will be upon me before I realize it.

So here is my card to continue with rebuilding my supplies

 I am using an image from the Paper Shelter called Just Roll with It and the card was inspired by this sketch by Sketch Saturday.

 I had a lot of fun putting this card together. It is definitely not my usual colour combination but I think it worked together. I have had this paper pack sitting in my stash for quite a while waiting for the perfect card to be put on and this was it.

Thanks for stopping by and looking at my project. To let me know that you stopped by today why don't you consider giving me a comment and I can visit your blog sometime. And before you go I would like to leave you with this final thought 

This is true with any journey - whether it be travel or a personal one. It all takes time and if you do start today than you will be closer to your goal tomorrow.

Have a Happy Crafty Kind of Day,

👍 Tracy B

Sketch Saturday #544

Good Luck Thank You

Hello everyone. Todays card is for a friend who will be leaving our Spinning group to pastures new in New Zealand. I was following a card sketch but didn't follow it to the letter but you will see what I mean once I show you both the card and the sketch.

And now for the sketch that started this cardmaking exercise - Sketch Saturday #543

As you can see the outcome of the card was a little different to the sketch but not a lot that I hope it is still suitable for the challenge. 

The difference came about because of the Butterfly Hat digital image by Julie Spiri which I had printed and coloured with my Faber-Castell Polychromos. So I adjusted the smaller rectangle to suit the layout. The stars I turned into squares to fit around the 2 sentiment stamps. I kept the rest of the card simple because I wanted the image to be the main focus.

Thanks for stopping by and looking at my project today. And as always before you go I would like to leave you with this thought for the day

I have struggled with this over the past couple of years due to a few circumstances. But I can now see a way through some of it and so it is a start of recovery. So all I can say is Don't let the world determine who you should be!

Have a Happy Crafty Kind of Day,
