This was one of my favourite layouts from the Never Tear Us apart kit, so before I break into the Colorblind kit, I thought I’d blog this one.  Not every layout I create gets blogged here, just the ones I have something extra to say about, or the ones I like the most (so make sure you subscribe to my YouTube channel if you want to see all my layouts).  This one, called Off to School We Go, actually shares a name with a layout I did a few years ago!  I guess my memory really IS failing me!

Off to School we go!

I like the small letters for the title for a change, and I just enjoyed pulling these layers together.  I think it looks relaxed and simple, and that’s how I was feeling about the photo, so I’m pleased with how it turned out.

Those Mini Market letter stickers are among my all time favourites

I love how the texture from the twine and corrugated cardboard contrasts with the shine from the flair and enamel dots.

oops, a stray pop dot backing photobombed my layout!

I love me some yellow chevrons!

a super simple top left cluster balances out the main cluster.

And here is the process vid for this one:

Thanks so much for stopping by!

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!
