I feel as though I’ve stumbled upon this line, rather serendipitously, to be honest!  I did ask Sherie from Scrapbook Supplies Online to send me the line as my Design Team kit, but I had no idea just how much I’d love working with it!  I am so excited that I was able to come up with 6 different layouts using this one line, so I wanted to post them all here, just as a kind of inventory of what I came up with.  There are process videos for each of these layouts, so I’ll embed the vids at the very end of this post.

First up,

Untitled
Layers, scallops, and a fun, detailed title piece
The next layout has quite a different feel:
Untitled
I used letters from my own stash and focussed on the blues and greys in the collection, with pops of red for contrast
The next one:
Sisterly encouragement
I covered the printed parts of the background paper and used the nested circle stickers as a layering element
The next layout created with this line:
Untitled
For this one I used the printed background, adding my own dimension using stamps and papers and stickers from the collection
This one came together really quickly:
Untitled
I cut tags from the paper and added splotches and a few embellies from my stash

And finally:
Untitled
Bold marker lines set these similar papers apart, and the ladybugs were too cute not to cut out!

The process videos are spread out around my channel, so I thought I’d put them all together here, just for the record (not that I expect anyone to watch that many videos all at once!!).

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!
