Acronym monogram for Mercantile & Artistic Paperie

Today I would like to share some images of the monogram letters for M.A.P.. Featuring the Accent Tricks embellishment pack and collage methods. You can check out more images on our Facebook page.  This technique we used last year for the senior class of a homeschool co-op group. We enjoyed making each letter personalized to each senior. In the future at some point we will add a how to video for the varies techniques used. Have a beautiful day-Ellie G.

Business cards

        Yay, our business cards came in and we are very Alegre.
                                We are about to shove off and get on our way.

Store opening on Etsy.

We are so excited about putting the details together on M.A.P..  Thank you so much for being patient as this is a brand new adventure. We had hoped to have everything put together and Mercantile & Artistic Paperie on Etsy opened by the end of September. There are so many small details that need to be put into place to have this move forward. I am so excited about everything. This is a dream of mine for many years and now along with my dear sweet daughter they are about to come to pass. We hope to have some new pictures uploaded and some items on Etsy by the end of the first week in October.  One thing that is very important to me is to use recycled products whenever possible. 

Thank you for visiting.
