My Minds Eye Paper

Okay there are sooooo NOT many things I like as much as I like My Minds Eye Scrapbook Paper ! I can have a really bad day or be mad or sad and go in my scrapbook room and set down with a My Minds Eye paper pad and just flip through it and be instantly happy :) I have dozens and dozens of their paper packs and can NOT be trusted to go into a store that sales more (hehe)

I made a page and entered into the challenge but now that I see all the pages full of flowers that were entered..... Mine is sorta embarrasing.

Yes I realize that It is probably not normal ! I know that it makes me a little weird ! I understand that it is only paper ! But I cant help myself ! I love MY MINDS EYE PAPER !!!

So I was crazy silly earlier when I saw my name there in a little mention on Amber Packer's post for the December Flower Challenge. My mind is going a mile a minute thinking of all the beautiful flowers that were entered into the challenge ! I must do em all !

If you need flowers....just go check this file out and I am sure that you will find a flower you will want to make for your next page :)http://mymindseye.typepad.com/blog/2009/12/blog-challenge-and-christmas-winners.html

Happy Scrapbooking :)

Note on this one:

My twistedsketches.com page for december

This was my first time entering this one and I loved it. The sketch is really cute and I had some fun with the transparency twist. I'm not sure you can see it in the photo but the picture is covered in a piece of transparency film to further the whole challenge. The photo is of my beautiful niece who is growing up so fast.

This was my first attempt at the little handmade flowers on the bottom right of the page. I saw another lady do some of this kind of paper twisting and I had to give it a try it !!!

Just click the this link if you want to see her blog and her flowers too ! http://www.jamirodolph.blogspot.com/ She does a little demo of how to make them and I am certainly going to be giving them a couple more spots on some future pages !!!! Thanks for sharing !!! But for now...here are my version of them...this is my first try to give me a few days and I will get better !

For now be sure and run on over and do a page for the sketch challenge at twisted sketches. I thought the site had loads of great ideas for using items that you dont normally think to use !
