Hi, Welcome to my blog today. If you didn't see the past few days blog posts go check them out. I organized a hashtag "Under the Sea" hop. I had so much fun that I decided I wanted to continue. 

So, if you decide you want to dive in...and join just use the hashtag #mermazingmonday on your post whether it be Instagram, Youtube, or a blog. 

Most of all have fun! 

So, this was a very busy day for me...I did not get in my craft room to craft until 9pm tonight! Yikes... so unlike me. Anyhow, I am not making as fast a progress on the banner as I wanted to. It will be finished by next Monday and I will show it in full detail.

Here is the next panel.

Supplies Used:

Authentique: Sea Maiden 6x6 Paper Pad

Copic Markers

Some Random Die Cuts that were in my stash.

Lawn Fawn Stitched Party Banner Dies

Under the Sea Hashtag Hop #Saturdayunderthesea

Hello my crafty friends. I am back for Day 3 of the Under the Sea hop. I have had such a blast the past 3 days making my mermaid panels for the hop. I did not even begin to touch all of my beautiful mermaids. So, since I have not I decided while lying in bed last night (trying to go to sleep...that is when these bright ideas hit me!) to do Mermazing Mondays on my blog for the month of August. Yes each Monday I will have a blog post showcasing something "Mermazing". If you would like to join in, leave a comment below or email me @ teresa@scrappingforless.com, I will create a graphic and we can use the hashtag #MermazingMondaysinAugust. 

Ok onto my two panels for today...Final Reveal of the Banner will be the post on Monday so you will need to come back to see it completed then!

Mermaid and Home Decor'

Hello my crafty friends! I am here today to share with you a little bit of an obsession this summer! I am obsessed with mermaids! What a lovely and mythical thing to be obsessed with, right? Well I purchased this die set from Little B...(from Scrapping for Less of course) You can shop two places...the Facebook Group or the Website! If you would like to purchase this die just let me know and I can get it ordered for you!


So, I decided to decorate this little chalkboard that hangs in my scrapbook room with the dies I cut out from this die set.

Funny story about this chalkboard: In March my daughter who lives in Oregon was here for a visit...one day she graciously helped me do some reorganizing in my scrapbook room. I said "I need to put up a new quote." To which she replied let me...so of course I did...and she wrote and drew without letting me see it and then hung it back up! I squealed with delight at how fitting and adorable! 

This photo does not do it justice at all!

Photos of the Dies: The back of the die packages shows that you can paper piece and use different colors with the die however I found that pretty difficult to do so I just used some shimmer paper I had and cut them all out with a solid color.

 

Anyhow even though I couldn't figure out how to paper piece lots of nice dies to use on all those summer ocean and beach themed cards. 

Thanks for taking the time to visit.
