Hello crafty friends, welcome to another fun Design Team Q and A post. Each week you have a chance to get to know a little more about each of the Your Next Stamp Design Team, as we answer a few questions and share our favourite colour combos when we get crafty.

Q1: Tell us more about you, your family and where you live:

My name is Tracy. I have a loving husband of 12 years and two sweet and creative little girls that keep me busy. When I am not busy with my family, I work full-time for an insurance company. My job as my kids would say is to “boss people around”. I live in Ontario Canada close to my parents and 3 brothers and even closer to YNS head quarters. I have always enjoyed being creative and I have been creating cards, layouts and anything I can with paper for nearly 10 years.

Q2: When did you join the team at Your Next Stamp?

I started my blog in September 2013 as a way to share my cards and participate in challenges. I was very lucky to win a guest design spot with YNS in April 2014 and was over the top excited to join the team full-time in August. I am still a DT newbie and I am really enjoying this creative journey.

Q3: What are your favourite Your Next Stamp images?

First on the list will be Ellie Loves Lattes. This sweet stamp in the image that drew me to YNS as a customer so many years ago. Since then, some of my favourites include Ellie Loves Sunflowers, the Whatnot Sentiments (all of them), Silly Monsters and the new Jessica with Cupcakes.

Q4: What are your favourite colour combos?

Although it seems like a simple enough question, this is not an easy one for me to answer. I love so many colours and try to mix things up depending on the image, occasion, season and my creative mood.

Since I know that an answer of “everything” will not be accepted, I will go with brown, pink and teal. I love using brown and will most often reach for this as my neutral to mat my pattern paper and images. There are so many great shades of pink and teal, I find these colours work well with so many styles of card. Whether a simply CAS, something girly or an all out distress look, with the right shade of pink and teal you can do it all!

Here is a look at the card I created today. I went back to where it all began and used Ellie Loves Lattes.

 

Inside of my card, I added sentiments from Whatnot Sentiments Three and the birthday greetings from Jessica with Cupcakes.

 

Thanks for joining me today. Next week be sure to stop back as we get to know more about Brianna and her favourite crafty colour combos.

Have a fabulous and crafty day!

Tracy
