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

ADD TEXTURE FOR DIGI DOODLE

Good morning ladies.  I hope you are all as excited and up for this challenge as I am.  As a Guest Designer for the month of July the Digi Doodle Shop asked us to created a card adding texture.  I began with an image with a lot of texture, the Vegetable Cart, then added more of my own: the raffia tie, the punched picket fence, the straw under the vegetables, the barnyard scene behind the central image, and the chicken wire background.
CARD RECIPE:
VEGETABLE CART: Digi Doodle Shop
LEAVES & GRASS: Make a Scene: Rubber Necker Stamps
CHICKEN WIRE: Stampin Up
The farmyard scene was a yard sale find
ACCESSORIES: Fence Border Punch by Martha Stewart, Ribbon, Raffia, Straw. The round and Scalloped Dies are Nesties.
