We’re celebrating the My Mind’s Eye Blog’s 2nd Birthday with a Blog Hop. We are also giving away our biggest prize of the year – our entire CHA’s release!! If you’ve seen Lost and Found 2 and all the other fabulous collections, you know it is amazing! So – start at the MME Blog and hop to each designer’s blog.
- Grand Prize: After visiting every blog, email Amber the secret words. One winner will receive one of everything in our CHA-S release. (7 blogs = 7 words).
- 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 the collection of their choice!
My word for July is CELEBRATE! This month of full of fun family celebrations and BBQ’s such as the 4th of July and the 24th of July – or Pioneer Day (a state holiday in Utah where we celebrate the day Pioneers arrived and settled our state). We celebrate with parades, fireworks, and family BBQ’s – so we pretty much get two 4th of July-ish celebrations this month!!
My absolute favorite Holiday to celebrate is CHRISTMAS. And who doesn’t love “Christmas in July”?!?! I created this layout using the FABULOUS new Lost and Found Christmas collection. The glittered papers and embellishments are so magical! It is so fun to layer their chipboard elements and 3-D stickers. I also love the red, green, brown, and cream color palette – such timeless and classic collection.
Thanks for visiting. Now “hop” on over to Courtney’s wonderful blog.
Tamara this is drop dead gorgeous! Wow! So love the elegance and grandness of this page layout. I agree with you, nothing no better than embellishments that co-ordinate with a paperline and are so amazing to just layer and layer some more. Lol. Thanks for the inspiration. Hugs.
