About Me

My photo
Mesa, Arizona, United States
Hi: It's Merniebug here. Well actually it's Melanie but I answer to a variety of sobriquets. My mother had been reading Gone With The Wind at the time of my birth, thus, I was named Melanie. My friends call me Mel, It was my sister who coined the moniker Mernie when she was too young to pronounce Melanie correctly. It was eventually shortened to Mern. And then later when my nephew came along he called me Melwee because he couldn't pronounce Melanie either. Now my husband of thirty-four years is so confused he just calls me whatever comes to mind first. Actually I was Sweetheart until the day he realized the honeymoon was over. It was my cousin who added the bug to Mernie which is who I've always been to him and who I am on Splitcoast Stampers. So now that we've gotten past the odd name business, who else am I? I'm a child of the King, a wife and a mother to one grown son and five tailwaggin' fur babies. I am a retired interior designer, a rubber stamper, and a wanna be author who is just completing a first novel. I got into scrapping and rubber stamping to fill a creative void after retiring--it's less expensive than redecorating the house every year. LOL

CHARM...ing

For Digi Doodle Shops Best Team challenge this week we had to include a charm on our card.  I chose their new fall scene image primarily because a leaf charm was about the only kind of charm I had.


WHAT I USED ON MY CARD:
Image: Fall Scene: Digi Doodle Shop
Embossing folder: Cuttlebug Tiny Bubbles
Foliage Punch: Martha Stewart
Tree Stamp on embossed layer & pumpkin Stamp are unknown.
Embellishments: Ribbon, charm, beads, and a bit of flower soft.
Images colored with Copics.
