About Me

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

For You

Here is my favorite Meljen's Design's Teddy Bear.   I've been playing around with various shaped cards and this one just seemed to lend itself to this sweet little image.  I have to admit I shamelessly cased the layout.  There are so many layers here that it ended up  being a 3-D  card.  There's a total of nine layers at it's thickest.  This sweet little guy was colored with Copics.
WHAT I USED ON MY CARD: Ribbon, Prima Rosebud, Punched flowers, Flowersoft, Spellbinders Nestabilities Dies.
Copics Used: W1, 2, 3, 5,  R22, 24, 27, 29, Y17
FOR CHALLENGES:
Craft Your Passion: Two Color Challenge.  I chose Red and Gray

MELJENS SPRINGTIME FUN



I don't know what it is about digital images but I can't stay away from them. Here's a fun little image by Meljens Design's.  Isn't she sweet? All her little flowers remind me of spring. She was colored with Copics, the  border punch is by Martha Stewart, the ovals and circles are Nesties.  Easy peasy...this was a fun card to create.  The background designer paper is by DCWV in a bound stack called BELLE CAFE.  I found it on sale at Michaels. 
 You can find Meljen's Digital Designs in my side Bar.
