I love the beautiful My Minds Eye paper. It’s so sparkly and delicious to look at.

The paper comes pre-glittered, what’s not to love about that?

I already had some red thread in my sewing machine…so I added a little stitching to the next couple of cards.

It’s amazing what a little stitching can add to a card….and some buttons…and some twine.

Still loving that pre-glittered paper.

On this next card I whipped out some Sea Foam Shimmer Spritz to add a little blue to this red & white My Minds Eye line.

Here’s a closer look at the Sea Foam blue:

I also spritzed one of the hearts, I love how simple it was to change the color this beautiful paper.

This card could easily be a valentine, don’t you think?

Thanks for stopping by today.  I hope that you have a wonderful day!

Labor Day Weekend has arrived.

I’m ready!

Before I take off to my (much anticipated) Family Reunion,

I thought I’d share another My Minds Eye Layout.

This layout came together quickly.

Almost the entire layout was created with the

My Minds Eye Lost & Found Portobello Road Line

(excluding the Wide Sheer Ribbon, Cardstock & Shimmerz).

Speaking of Shimmerz,

I used some of the Shimmerz Pearlz to create the Pin Dots in the corners of this layout.

But the sparkly, “Handsome Boy” label:

My Minds Eye.

Yep.

And the fun brads:

You guessed it,

My Minds Eye.

Love this paper.

It’s a little bit of Scrapbooker’s Heaven.

In other news:

Remember those photo albums of my Grandmother’s that my father found?

The precious and rare albums that were not destroyed in the fire?

I’m finally done scanning photos.

And almost done creating the photo CD’s for my cousins.

I thought I’d share of few of my favorites:

Grandma Clara giving my little brother, Seth his first bath.

It was a tradition that Grandma Clara gave all her grandchildren their first bath.

{You can see me in the photo…I’m in the mirror}

Left to right: Rachel Wolfe, Tarah Wolfe Livingston, Grandma Clara, Rebecca Wolfe, Corianne Wolfe and Christie Wolfe Bryant

This photo shows the nightgowns that Grandma Clara made for each of her granddaughters that lived nearby. Having a matching nightgown with my cousins is a favorite Christmas memory.

Grandma Clara on her front porch.

Grandma lived in Paradise, California for many, many years (not sure the exact number).

They don’t often get snow in Paradise

but when they do – Grandma loved it!

I can’t wait to share these (and many more) special photos with my cousins.

Thanks for stopping by,

I hope that you have a wonderful weekend!

Happy.

Happy is how the new My Minds Eye, Lost & Found line makes me feel.

This particular Lost & Found line is called, Market Street.

Love-it-oh-so-much!

Market Street has the most amazing embellishments.

And you know how much I love EMBELLISHMENTS!

**Squeal**

I found it at a very special place, my home away from home:

The photo in this layout is of my brother, Adam with his beautiful family.

My sister-in-law, Vanessa and their two girls, Kayla and Addie.

I had to call Vanessa to find out exactly which beach the photo was taken.

Asilomar State Beach, CA

Good times.

I sparkled up the blue borders (this line is already VERY sparkly) with some Shimmerz, Pixie Dust.  I Love how it turned out.

Once again, I was inspired by The Color Room.  I’m still trying to catch up on all their amazing Color Palettes.

The ‘My Minds Eye’ fun doesn’t stop here…

I still have two more Lost & Found lines to work with:

Portobello Road and Union Street.

Stay tuned!
