I am so excited to be finished my latest mini album!

Although the last few minis I’ve done have left me feeling exhausted and self-critical, this one was a blast from beginning to end!

I went with an already bound envelope mini album base from Graphic 45.  I covered all the pages with patterned paper, border punched book paper, and added machine stitching to each page.

 Then I added the photos and little bits and strips of paper and typewritten note paper.
There's More detail
 I kept the embellishments to a minimum, and made each page all about the photos and journalling.
Tattoos detail
I made a tag for each envelope and followed the theme of minimal embellishment, focussing on the photos and journalling.

Dont forget detail

I didn’t take photos of all the tags and pages, but if you’d like to see a video of the whole thing, check out the video below (will be embedded once my YouTube video is uploaded)

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!
