Here is a super-quick layout I put together using these colourful photos as inspiration.  Because these pics were so vivid, I didn’t want to do a tonne of layering, and I really wanted to use up this striped paper (by Echo Park) because I was getting to the end of the kit (Central High), and it didn’t seem like it would work with any of my other leftover papers.  So instead of paper layering I just doodled around the edges and added some embellishments.

There’s not much to say about this one that isn’t in the process video (at the end of this post) so I’ll just leave you with some close-ups:

Flair badge, giant sequin, and chevron ribbon were all in the kit

That speech bubble clip is my favourite embellishment EVER and was given to me by Kraftin’ Kate from YouTube

Thicker and Sassafras letter-y goodness!

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!
