I'm thankful for......
  • good friends to stamp and scrapbook with
  • cameras, without which I couldn't take photos of my precious memories to help me remember them
  • a dear husband who supports me in my stamping and scrapbooking and never gives me grief about a messy house when I've been stamping instead!
  • three dear children who inspire me to scrapbook
  • and of course fabulous stamps and papers to play with! :)

More All Decked Out


I love snowmen! Maybe because I love looking out the window at freshly fallen snow (notice I did not say “Driving” in the snow! LOL!). Here is another fun snowman card actually made by my sister Alli using the All Decked Out stamp set. See…another reason why it’s a must have stamp set!

All Decked Out


I love snowmen! And this little snowman guy just has to be the cutest around. And a friend gave me the idea of using our cool Chenille brads as his earmuffs....and it worked perfectly! This snowman set is called All Decked Out and is the November stamp of the month. It's a must have!

Card Organizer


Where do you store all of your card projects? I am always looking for different ways to store my cards…shoe boxes, drawers…anything! Then I found the idea of using Close to My Heart’s acrylics storage boxes. They are perfect! Here is a fun one I made using the Notebook paper. It was so easy! Here’s how:

1. 1. Attach 2” wide strips of pattern paper around the box with strong adhesive, starting from the back.
2. Stamp the word “CARDS” to the saying piece. Add brads and ribbon and attach in the front, covering the ends of the strips. Add a flower and a button to the front.
3. Tie ribbon to the handle as desired. You’re done!

Welcome to Tracy's Craft Room!

I'm so excited to be joining the blogging world! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to stamp and scrapbook and can't wait to share what I lovingly call "my therapy time!" Put the kids to bed or send them off to school and I love to sneak off to my little corner for "therapy." Sigh! Feels good to create!
