I am: Tracey....a 33 year old mother, proud navy wife, and scrap-a-holic!
Why do you scrap? i scrap for many reasons! probably the most important reason is it makes me feel good about myself. I am the most relaxed when i am creating things, and take great pride in my work. And it always feels good when someone compliments my work! That is a great motivation to create!!
Inspiration: i find my inspiration all over the place! most of the time, i consult my close to my heart idea books...i LOVE them. I also love my Cards magazine for ideas, and well...teh internet seems to have an endless supply of sketches out there....so....i am usually set for inspiration!
Scrapbook Style: busy busy busy!!! everyone always can tell a LO i have made by how much stuff is just everywhere!!! i LOVE to embellish!!! and my favorite embellishment....BIRDS! anythingn with birds, and i'm all over it!
Playlist: that is tough....half the time i am jamming to my ipod, and the other half, well....scrapping to speed channel! yes...i'm a nascar junkie as well...so, it is nice to do 2 of my favorite things at one time! scrap and watch racing!!!
Can't live without: oh geez...do i ahve to pick one thing??? then probably my cutterpede! i couldn't scrap without it!!!
Fav Color Combo: that is tough! i scrap it all! all colors and combos! Red is one of my fav colors though....so anything that goes with red...
Scrapbook Trademark: you won't find them on ALL my stuff...but yeah...back to the birds....gotta love birds!! of all shapes and sizes...owls, roosters, seagulls....if it's got feathers....i want it on my page!
Confession: i'm a scrapbook supply junkie!! i need a 12 step program seriously....i simply cannot help myself when i walk into a store...i buy everything!!! I have no self control!!! Somebody Stop me!!
My take on the shoes...LOL!!! my fave shoes EVER are flip flops!!! i am not by any means a 'glamour girl' and i would have no business on sex in the city....for me, a pair of flip flops are the way to go all yr round!!!
now for the important part...my challenge to you!!!

I was wondering what size file folder did you use. Letter or legal? I want to try this and not sure which to use.
i'm pretty sure it is standard letter size...LOL! i just got a folder out of my filing cabinet!!! the dimensions of the folder are in the tutorial so u can measure to be sure! hope this is helpful, and i would LOVE to see what u come up with!
Tracey, Your file folder album turned out so pretty.
I love bellas. I want to get a few.
You inspired me to get busy Tracey! I had to play a bit to get mine to come out right, the first time my folder didn't have the same shape (the lip was in a different place) and it came out a wee bit wonky, so apparently if it matches perfectly you are a bit better off!
Anyway, here is mine:
