Beauty from My Mind's Eye ~ Shop Pumpkin Spice Design Day

Hi Crafty Friends! Welcome to Luv Scrapping Together!

Today's card is made with designer paper from one of my favorites lines, My Mind's Eye. Shop Pumpkin Spice has so many My Mind's Eye papers to choose from and at the best prices around. I choose to use My Mind's Eye Stella and Rose "Hazel" 6x6 paper pad.

I made this card for my daughter's birthday. She will be 17 on Saturday. I wanted something a little more grown up and I thought this card worked perfectly.

I used my Cricut Expression, Elegant Edges Cricut Cartridge, and Freshly Picked Cricut Cartridge to cut my image and the card base. Using designer paper from the same 6x6 paper pad makes it very easy to coordinate. I used some beautiful Crinkle Ribbon to create a bow.  Word has it that there will be some new yummy colors coming to Shop Pumpkin Spice soon. I can't wait! To the center of the bow I added a brad from My Mind's Eye Stella and Rose "Happy" Decorative Brads. As always I used my trusty ATG gun to put my card altogether and I always buy my refills from Shop Pumpkin Spice.

Check out the full line of My Mind's Eye designer papers that Shop Pumpkin Spice has to offer. There is even a My Mind's Eye Value Pack of all the 2011 designs. It consists of 100 sheets of 12x12 papers.

Shop Pumpkin Spice has the best value on all of your scrapping a cardmaking supplies! I hope you will take some time to browse and see all the wonderful things that are available.

Thanks for stopping and I will see you tomorrow with something new that I am excited to show you!
