Well, it’s been awhile since I’ve done one of these “deconstructed” layouts (just a term I made up, please let me know if there is an actual term for this style, I am so out of the loop I don’t know my terms), so here’s one:

Oh, those buttons make my heart sing!  I have to say, My Mind’s Eye and October Afternoon really know how to rock out the buttons!

…and that red boxed number paper by Basic Grey?  Made my heart skip a beat when I saw it in the box.

I’ve been wanting to try those SodaLicious wood triangles ever since I saw them, so I was psyched to see them in this month’s Studio Calico kit!  And that’s a piece of one of those cool stitched Studio Calico journalling tags…

… and I liked the title so much I’m showing it from 2 different angles.

You know, I really love layering pretty papers together so you just catch a glimpse of each yummy pattern and texture, but sometimes it’s nice to just lay everything out and admire the simplicity of papercrafting supplies.

Video coming soon, unless I throw my computer out the window out of frustration.

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!
