Wow, I am having so much fun at True Scrap 6!  I wanted to answer some of the questions that I didn’t get a chance to answer during and after my class, so I thought I would just post them right here on my blog:

 

I saw on Facebook that you recorded a couple extra videos for True Scrap participants.  Where will those be available?

  • The videos are available on the Replay page

There were lots of questions about pens.

  • I use Staedtler Lumocolor pens on any slick surfaces including wash tape (which sometimes is and sometimes isn’t slick, but I use this pen all the time on wash, just in case.
  •  I have a few videos on my favourite pens and markers for outlining:
  • Markers 101 (from 2011)
  • Markers (from 2012)

What type of ink do you use on vellum?

  • To journal or outline on vellum I use my Lumocolor marker mentioned above.  For mists, I have used Mister Hueys from Studio Calico, and Heidi Swapp Color Shine.  They take a long time to dry but they will eventually and the ink does stay put once it’s dry.

It looks like Tracy F. asked me a question about vellum, but I can’t see what it was.

  • Tracy, you can PM me on Facebook and I’d be happy to answer your question!

The long-arm on the tripod that you use to shoot your videos, what is it called?

Could you use parchment paper or wax to use the washi tape hearts?

  • This is a great idea!!!  Anyone who follows my videos knows I have waxed paper right next to me in my scrap room, so I am all over this idea!  Thanks for sharing it with us all!

Have you used the Elizabeth crafts outline stickers?

  • No I haven’t but I just googled them, and they look like fun!
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!
