Thanks for joining the My Mind’s Eye Holiday Hoopla Blog Hop!! It’s so nice of you TO COME by. (Hint: these are your last 2 words of the secret phrase)
If you are just joining us, start at the MME Blog for a chance to win some fabulous prizes. Our blog hop will close Wednesday, December 28, 2011 at midnight.
There will be two ways to win at our party:
1) Grand prize: After visiting every blog, email Amber the secret phrase. One winner will receive our 12 Days of Christmas collection and both Kraft Funday collections!
2) Bonus entry: We will randomly draw one of our designer’s blogs and draw one winner from the comments on that designer’s blog. This winner will receive our entire 12 Days of Christmas collection!
I was asked to feature one of my favorite layouts from this past year. How could I chose just one? I have to admit that Lost and Found 2 is my favorite collection EVER!! I designed this layout for the My Mind’s Eye October Newsletter. When I saw the FABULOUS glittered Lost and Found 2 Collections – I knew they would be perfect to scrapbook this portrait of Desiree taken by my dad. I used both the Breeze and Sunshine lines. LOVE all the glittered page elements – a timeless collection.
You are almost done hopping – now HOP on back to the MME’s Blog and e-mail them the secret phrase. Make sure you leave a comment here so you are entered to win our bonus prize. Come back soon and Merry Christmas!!!
Such a georgous and wonderful layout, love it !!!!!
