Fly 12X12

Here is a layout I made today using my 100 Days of Summer papers:

Fly 12X12

I had a lot of fun layering all those cards and blocks together!  I added a title using JilliBean corrugated cardboard letters.  I painted them with my white paint dabber and a touch of Pool paint dabber.  Then I stapled them onto the layout.

The bird is a piece of Making memories chipboard, dotted in hot glue blobs for texture, then covered in tin foil, then painted metallic blue, then painted white. Then I rubbed the paint off the raised parts and outlined him in pen. I also used a really old transparency (Play Hard) from Making Memories Cheeky line. I added circles from Jillibean journalling sprouts, and 2 sized circle punches. Oh, and Basic Grey Bloomers.

After I took the photos of the layouts, I decided to add red to the heart on the bird, which picks up on the red in other parts of the layout.

Mercy Tiara

Mercy Tiara

You may be wondering who is Mercy Tiara, and why the name? MercyTiara is an anagram of my first and middle names, Tracy Marie. I discovered this name in the 90's in grad school when we were all coming up with alter egos for one another in a lab one day. I've used it ever since, but you can call me Tracy or MercyTiara, or anything you want... just don't call me late for supper!
