I'm here today to let you know the theme of our latest challenge at Sweet Stampin'. It's called "Let's Dance", so we'd like to see your stamped creations featuring dancing of some kind.
I'm a huge Strictly fan so this Tiddly Inks image jumped straight into the shopping cart knowing that it would be used, and often!
I coloured the image with Copics, adding some sparkle with Glamour Dust and some Wink of Stella. I've kept everything else very simple as the image is quite big.
We're giving away a goodie bag to one randomly chosen winner, so why not join in the fun? The Sweeties have worked their magic and have created the most lovely inspiration cards, so hop over here to take a peek and check out the challenge rules.
On another topic, I've been so proud of the Boy Wonder this week. We've been following the dreadful events in Paris and around the world, both at home and at school. This has coincided with an announcement locally that we are to have some refugee families in one of the villages not far from us. While I would say that in the main our community has been very welcoming of this news, sadly this has not applied to all. The BW has taken a stand on Facebook in response to negative comments made by some of his peers, resulting in some not very nice messages and a bit of "unfriending". The way he has conducted himself over this has been just fabulous - I know he's 16 now, but he's shown such maturity (and tolerance) this week that it's really brought it home to me that my boy is now a young man. And a thoroughly decent human being.
Have a great weekend and stay cosy!
Hugs
Tracey xx

I can see why you're very proud of your son, Tracey, it's not easy to take a stand in these matters in social medias, I'm sending him a huge Well done!
Love the pretty card too :)
Warm hugs

Your card is adorable Tracey ! Love the touch of glitter... You must be so proud of your son ! Hugs, blessings and love from Catherine
Very beautiful your card!!!
Your card is gorgeous Tracey, I'm a big Strictly fan and the Charleston is one of my faves so it's a 10 from me!
I'm not a fan of Facebook (at all) mainly because of an extremely unpleasant incident involving a youngster some years ago. It's great to hear that your son is not afraid to face down these bullies and stand up for what he believes is right! Well done Boy Wonder!
Bloomin' cold here too, there were even snowflakes this morning!

Tracey, this was such a perfect image choice for this challenge. I LOVE that dancing duo. What perfect colouring too and a gorgeous CAS layout to really set them off beautifully. Love it! Hugs, Wends x
Meant to say well done your son too! It's not easy (especially at that age) to stand against the crowd and make yourself heard. But good on him for standing up for the innocent, the downtrodden, the misunderstood. You certainly DO have a lot to be proud of there and he's a testament to your awesome parenting. Yay Boy Wonder! xxx
You have me singing David Bowie in my head. LOL This pair is too cute Tracey. Awesome coloring especially on the hair. Stay warm! Hugs!
And it's taken you until now to realise that Mrs T?? It made me tear up reading it, bless him. Good for him, it takes courage to stand up and be counted. Isn't it lovely when they make you proud...he has a the very best example though.
Loving your card too xx
