Here’s another layout I created using the Studio Calico 34th Street kit (I also have the Penn Station and Herald Square add ons)

Lots of this layout comes from the kit, but there’s also a smattering of Crate Paper Sleigh Ride collection and Echo Park Dear Santa (which is one of those Photo Freedom kits- I had leftovers from Project Life that I’m trying to use up in layouts).  I used some border punches (large scallops and notebook paper) and some border stickers, as well as some funky gold ribbon I found at Walmart.

The kit came with some plain chipboard speech bubbles, and I took 2 and covered them with green chevron washi tape, then clustered some flair, brads, buttons, and wood veneer stars on top to make my own embellishments.

I’m loving these grey Lullaby Thickers, which I’ve had for quite awhile.

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!
