fluffy close up

Frustration abounds with Yahoo and Flickr today… grrr!  It seemed easier to upload something back in 1992 when all I had to do was type in complicated (but reliable) syntax and use FTP.  Grrr.  Here are the photos that caused me so much grief tonight:

From over a month ago:  Fluffy and fun!

I didn’t get a straight on shot of this one, so this is the best it gets:

It was fun to make, but I changed my mind about a million times. I can’t remember any of the products I used. Got to update blog more often to remember those details!!! Process vid is on my YouTube channel if you’re interested.

Here is a layout I made last weekend using almost entirely Stampin’ Up! products. Check out my YouTube channel for the process vid. This one was based on last week’s Sketchy Thursdays sketch.  In this one I made faux brads using hole punches and Glossy Accents (altho you could use Crystal Effects too). I took bright white papers and made them a bit more grungy for my layout. Used Big Top Birthday Designer Series Paper.

I made pennants using the Petite Pennants builder punch and the Pennant Parade stamp set. I stamped each colour ink on the same coloured cardstock for a tone on tone look, and I love how it turned out.
Sweet Day- Pennants

These strips and the other accents were from the Quick Accents set.

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!
