Cardmaking with My Minds Eye

My Minds Eye Paper Ranges are pure eye candy for any avid Scrapbooker.  This particular range from their Lost and Found Collection was just calling me to design a range of Scrapbooking Cards!  The objective of these designs was to style cards using the popular "BUNTING" theme.

I would love to hear from You!

Favourite Layouts

On days when my creativity is blocked by chores, errands, meal planning, "Mom's Taxi" Service etc, I find it useful to repeat a favourite Scrapbook layout in different colours and prints of paper.   

This is one of my personal  favourite "old" Scrapbook layouts.
