My New Doo....................

This is how long my hair used to be...

It got so long that it tangled very

easly and I always had to wear it
up out of the way when ever I was
at work, tidying up at home and
when ever I had to go out if it
was windy.



And this how long my hair is now :)

I really like the new me :)

Masterchef

Entry Round, Round 1 and Round 2.

Masterchef Entry Round layout


Round 1 layout


Round 2 layout

Even though I didn't get through to
Round 3 this hasn't phased me at all
and the boost I felt for even getting
this far has been an experience :) Also
I want to say a really huge thank you
all for voteing for me and keeping me
going with all of your support very
much appreciated :)

Inchies...

I first read about these on a thread on

UKScrappers, and the storey goes, as is my
understanding of it,. An artist was teaching a
class of students, art obviously, and for there
next class had come up with a new challenge
in which each student had to create 10
1" inch altered squares of chipboard.
They could paint them or alter them, sort
of like miniture atc's, and then trade them
or not if they wanted to keep them :)

Inchies Set 1

This is an inchie Phone/Bag/Key ring Charm Book.
I came up with the idea after I made
my first lot of inchies :) I haven't added
any inchies to the pages yet and obviously
when I do they'll have to be flat on the page
or I won't get my book to shut properly :)

Scrapwest Best Friends :)

I decided to have a go at this challenge because of my

Altered DVD Box

This is the latest creation that I've had a go at :)

I reacently joined a swap on UK Scrappers to have
a go at altering a dvd box. I thought to myself this
looks like it might be fun to try and try I did.
Also as part of this swap we had to include a sort
of journal/book for our swapee's to fill in themselves
with what ever they like, colours, photos, favorite
poems or even as an idea book :)

The swap host is Gill, a really great cyber friend
of mine and of many others, and she was trying
this out just to see how it would go and thanks to
her for organising another altering challenge
I've really had loads of fun taking part :)

This is the dvd box front cover...

And this is the inside of the altered dvd box with book.
I've also add an altered dvd just for effect, it comes out
if my swapee wants to replace it with one of her own :)

Hope you like it Linda :)

ATC's

I've made some atc's, some I did a while a go

and some I've done recently. I've read a lot about
atc's, (artist trading cards), and had a go myself,
they really are quite addictive once you get
started. I haven't been able to make as many
as I would like, but still enjoy doing them when
ever I can :) Here are just some of the ones I've
done and some that I've traded with others
that I still have. TFL x

Urban Collection. PIC'n'MIX.

Colours. Say What You See.

Some of my favourite creations...

Firstly, let me tell you a little bit
about me and tuther's that I live with :)

Hello :) My name is Tracy and I have been
Crafting, Scrapping and Altering for some
time now and really enjoying doing so.


these are just some of the creations I did for
the Mad Hatters Cyber Crop on April
27th, 28th and 29th 2007. I won a Prima paper
pack, Odyssey Collection, for the decorated
party hand above, I had so much fun that
whole weekend :)

I live
in the North East of England with my Husband
Brian and our pet pooch TJ...



We live a few minutes away from the beach
and TJ so loves to play about in the water, yet
we can't seem to coax him into the bath for his
wash unless both of us pick him up... I swear, it's
like he has the weight of two dogs when only one
of us try's to lift him up to put him in the bath :)



Anyway, we have a lovely view of the sea :)

and a lovely view of green fields too :)
