CT Call!

A little about me: My Scrap Orchard store is here. I'm very actively involved with my creative team. We have a lot of fun in my forum, and I consider my CT to be my backbone as a designer. They are free to ask me any questions, make suggestions, and throw out ideas. Please feel free to ask any of my current CT members about their experiences on my team.

If my designs suit your style and you can commit to the requirements, copy/paste and answer the following questions and email them to traciestroudcall@gmail.com by August 28th at midnight (CST). Invitations and regrets will be sent out by August 31st. Our new peeps will be announced no later than September 3rd.

1. Your full name and your username at most forums.
2. Tell me a little bit about yourself, why you'd like to be on my team, and why I should choose you.
3. Link me up to your best gallery and your favorite layout using my products if you have one.
4. Link me to your blog if you have one.
5. Tell me about your CT experience. Are you currently on any other teams, and if so, which ones? What are the requirements like?

Please ask if you have any questions!

Great New Scrapping Tools from Tracie Stroud!

Happy Friday everyone! I have some great new goodies for you today!

This week I'm releasing some fun tools to help make scrapping easier and give your layouts that little something extra. Blend Your Cares Away is a set of 12 x 12 blending masks to make blending papers and photos a snap! Grungee is a set of Photoshop brushes and png files to give your layouts a little extra "edge", and Photo Masks 2 is the 2nd installment of my popular Photo Mask series. All of these are a great addition to your basic scrapping stash!

I'm also releasing one of my older, but most popular kits at Scrap Orchard for the first time! Spring Cottage is full of soft, sweet colors and elements, perfect for scrapping those Spring or girly pages.

All my new releases are 20% off for 1 week only, so be sure to snag them at these great prices!

And, as always, here's some inspiration from my CT and some of the SO Honeybees:

Have a great weekend!

FREE alpha!

Yes, I'm giving away a free alpha! Nonsensical is a little wacky and full of whimsy. It includes upper and lower cases, numbers, and common punctuation. How do you get it? Just sign up for my newsletter! All my subscribers will receive a link to download Nonsensical in my weekly newsletter this Thursday evening. You must sign up by Thursday, August 20, at noon to receive the alpha. You can sign up at on the left side of this blog.

Boho Chic and a Freebie!

Happy Friday everyone!

I have a fun new kit this week that's a little funky and eclectic. Boho Chic is filled with earthly jewel-toned colors, rich textured papers and fun organic elements. Playful enough to scrap your little ones at the park and chic enough to scrap an all about me layout!

I also have a freebie add-on pack for you. It includes 2 tattered and torn papers and a frame cluster to match Boho Chic. Click here or on the preview to download.

Last but not least, here is some inspiration from my amazing CT:

Have a great weekend!

Hi everyone! I have some re-releases coming your way today!

Love and Lemonade was the featured kit in Bella Scraps Magazine in June. It's now available at Scrap Orchard for the first time! This kit is perfect for scrapping those fun summer memories.

May Mornings was one of my most popular kits from SYTYCD. If you missed it when it was a freebie, you can snag it now for only $3.99!

Both kits will be 20% off until Saturday night at midnight, so don't miss these great deals!


Lastly, I'll leave you with some inspiration from my CT:
