“Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your hair!”  When I was a child I loved the tale of Rapuzel, but I was completely taken by the Disney version, Tangled.  I loved how they made Rapunzel naive to the outside world, but still smart and strong-willed, but in a good-hearted way.  My favourite scene is the one I like to use as an example of ambivalence when I speak to children about what it’s like to feel two opposite feelings at once.  You know the one… where she is elated to be finally free from the tower, but also struck with guilt about disobeying her mother.  My kids get such a kick out of seeing her going from swinging and singing to crying and sobbing and back and forth.  Yes, Rapunzel is the princess my girls would love to be when they grow up.  And it doesn’t hurt that she has long yellow hair.  They are both mesmerized by blondes.  Anyhow, on to the scrapping…

I know what you’re thinking… “What, no Studio Calico kit?  Gasp!”  Yep, I waded into my regular supply stash for this one, and quite like how it turned out.  Lots of layering and bits on this one:

The flags were cut from Basic Grey Olivia paper, which (gasp!) does’t appear anywhere else on the layout.  Throwing the rules out the window here, folks!

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!
