About Me

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

COLOR IT ORANGE

Good morning everyone.  After forgetting to post my card last week I'm so paranoid that I'll forget it again that I'm posting early.  So in reality it isn't really morning nor is it Thursday but I'm pretending it is. So here is my card for the Digit Doodle Shops Best Thursday blog challenge.  This week we are to use the color orange.   I used the antique Water Pump image and added a patch of pumpkins.  They are layered and popped up on dimensional tape.  The Three-D Pumpkin was created by folding several punched circles in half.






WHAT I USED ON MY CARD:
Old Water Pump Image: Digi Doodle Shop
Pumpkin Images: Eureka
Vines: Twistel and Punched Maple Leaves
Labels 8 Die: Spellbinders Nestabilities
Corner Die: Cuttlebug
Border Punch: Martha Stewart
Images colored with Copics
Dew Drops
