Scrappin' the Details : My Mind's Eye Spring Blog Hop

My Mind's Eye Spring Blog Hop

Good morning, and WELCOME to the My Mind's Eye Blog Hop! Begin this Spring Blog Hop in order, so you can have the secret phrase! You will have the opportunity to win the entire collection of Lime Twist! Yes, you read that correctly! For the twine alone, this is a fabulous prize package! You can start at the beginning, by hopping {here.}

For this hop we were supposed to design a layout, that showcases our word for the month of April. There were so many special events that happened this month, it was hard to narrow that special word. However, as I was viewing my snapshots in my Iphoto library, I came across the snapshots of Gabi leaving for her first trip without us. This was such an emotional time for me! How I made it through the three days without her, I have no idea! I missed her so much, that I showed up with balloons to welcome her home. (Note: I was the only parent to do this, so it may have embarrassed her just a tad bit!) lol

Then as I scrolled further, I found the following snapshot. She was only six years old! She had such a wild spirit growing up, and was very independent at an early age! So I knew this was the one! I know she is older now, and makes me long for yesterday! She is truly a blessing to us!
It is her time to SOAR!!

This page uses the vibrant Lime Twist Collection, Fly A Kite! This color palette just makes me happy! I love scrapbooking with bold, and bright colors. This collection has it all, and is perfect for the everyday!

a couple of details:

Here I added a few details to the preprinted diecut, by adding the fabulous twine, button from the Lush 2 collection, vellum cloud, brad from the Holly Jolly Collection, and one from the Alphabet Soup Collection! On this element alone, I have used embellishments from four different My Mind's Eye Collections! Now, that is why I love, love their products! They all work together perfectly!

I added just a bit of detail to the cloud designs on the paper. Using my favorite cloud punch, I punched a few out of vellum. Of course, I also added a touch of texture by embossing with the Swiss Dots folder by Cuttlebug!

Now, please HOP on over to the talented Trisha Ladouceur! I cannot wait to see all the fabulous inspiration!

Your paper and embellishments, and those balloons, tie in so nicely with the photo of your daughter. Really cheerful, fun lo, perfect to reflect her spirit.
