Featured Babe 1/14 – Tracy Ducar
I feel like I always start out every post with “I can’t believe it’s already…” but it’s true!! Time truly does just fly on by!! So yeah, I can’t believe it’s already the middle of January!! 🙂 Today we get to feature one of our awesome babes, Tracy Ducar. She’s got such a fun style, she’s not afraid to get in front of the camera and you can’t help but smile when you see her adorable son in her layouts!! Here’s a bit more about her.
I’m a native Floridian who loves the sunshine over snow any day. My hubby and I have been married for over 10 years and we have one little man, L.J. who is the main focus of most of my layouts. Our lives changed a lot in the last year as he started Kindergarten and I went back to working part-time. Now that that job has ended, I started 2011 as a SAHM again. I also stay busy as President of our local women’s volunteer group and love to help out in our community. I also love to cook and try new healthy recipes which I hope to do more of this year after many planned trips to the gym.
I started scrapping with Photoshop CS2 in 2006 when I was looking for a way to make my son’s 1st birthday invitation and found a whole new world out there that I never knew existed. I just use a point and shoot Canon camera but I try to get the best photos that I can. I can’t imagine what I’d do without this creative outlet now. I’m so proud to be a Sugarbabe and still remember the feeling I had when I got the invitation.
What are two things you consider yourself to be very good at?
Scrap-wise I would say that I am good at the journaling part of a layout, really getting the story behind the photo, and getting multiple photos on a page. I take so many pics that I don’t want to leave any out.
When and where do you scrap?
I am usually sitting in the recliner in front of the TV with the laptop so that I can be out where the rest of the family is while I’m scrapping.
Do you have any hobbies outside of scrapping?
Yes, we love to fish, hunt, scallop, shop and volunteer!
If you could pick just one SSD kit, which is your favorite and why?
I have been on Traci’s CT for a long time now and her kits are always my favorites because she makes so many fun boy kits. So What? is one of those kits with so many possibilities.
I’ve asked Tracy to share three of her favorite layouts with us along with a little about why each is her favorite.
Meeting a Space Ranger – This layout just makes me happy. Buzz is one of my sons’ favorite characters and I was so excited when Manda designed this kit to match. My love of bright colors and multi-photo layouts really shows on this one.
Your Loveys – When I took this photo it was with the intent to document everything I could about all of my son’s favorite stuffed animals. I wanted it to be fun and full of life because that’s what they were to him at different stages in his young life. I love the way it turned out and really told the stories.
Eat, Drink and Be Scary – I scrap so much of my son that when I get good photos of us with our friends I can’t wait to get them on a layout. We are blessed to have both sets of grandparents that will watch him whenever so that we can get out and have a little kid-free fun every once in a while. This was just a fun night of costumes and laughs.
