Here is a layout I did this morning using a sketch from Get Picky (April’s challenge) and heavily lifting from one of the layouts by the design team:

For this one I used lots of different Basic Grey papers and sticker elements from the Offbeat, Max and Whiskers, and June Bug collections. I even used letters from the Lime Rickey collection.  I splattered the Glimmer Mist (by flicking a paint brush) rather than misting it because I wanted contrast between the white background paper and the black Glimmer Mist (Cinder).  I usually use paint to get this look, but I was too lazy to get them out, lol!  For the journalling strips I cut strips of black paper and painted a swatch of white on them with my Adirondack paint dauber.  Then I put strips of correction tape so the writing would show up better.

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!
