Tracee Provis 

 Hi. My name is Tracee Provis. I am from Bristol in the UK. I live with my very supportive hubby, my 2 youngest children, and my crazy dogs, which can sometimes make for a very hectic household. 

 When things get too crazy, I retreat to the sanctity of my scraproom, where I love to create mainly scrapbook layouts, but I also love making cards and altered projects and dabble in a little quilting and patchwork too.

 My style is a little bit of everything, and my layouts can range from being soft and romantic to bright and fun. I love white space on a page thhe colour blue and my trusty tweezers.

I love to find new ways to express my thoughts. and there are always new and fun things to try in the papercrafting world, and it is also here that I have met fellow crafters who share my passion and have made some lasting friendships.

I am currently part of the design team for Bo Bunny, Scrap 365 Magazine  and Papermaze, (a UK scrapbook store).

You can find more of my work at http://stresstickled.blogspot.co.uk/

You really must also pop over to Tracee's blog, you will be "tickled pink" by what you see! ;-)

Here are the cards that Tracee created.

You are going to be blown away.....

Aren't these just so fabulous and gorgeous!!!!!

These are just amazing and I absolutely love them! ;-)

Thanks so much Tracee! You really created "out of this world" amazing-ness!!!

Lindy's luscious luster is all uniquely two-toned! With vibrant shimmery sprays, flat 

sprays, vintage sprays, embossing powder and lots more!

Lindy’s Stamp Gang is the creative” baby” of Lindy Plakinger. She passed away in 2008 

after bravely battling illness. She was a self-made cartoonist, loved drawing, crafting, 

designing new products, and creating her funny cartoon characters! One of her greatest
