For my entry I used Webster’s Pages Garden Gala Papers, alphas, trim and sparklers. The punch I used is by Martha Stewart, the buttons are by BoBunny, the flowers are by Prima, the chipboard scrolls are made by Maya Road and the glitter glue is Ranger’s Sticklers.

From their Wild Asparagus range to Tres Jolie to Lost and Found, one thing I’ve always loved about My Mind’s Eye is the heavy weight and texture of their cardstock. For this layout I used the Moments papers from the Union Square range. A great feature to this line is that they’ve already included glittered elements on the papers that really make the gorgeous details pop! I didn’t have any lettering that were the color I wanted, so I used white alphas by Pink Paislee, inked them w/distress ink and embossed them which created a really cool marbled affect.
MME also offers many items that coordinate with their products. There are trims, tags, buttons, brads, dimensional stickers, stamp sets and chipboard mini-albums that go with each range in this line. You can see more of their fantastic designs HERE.

I just created a single page, multi-photo layout using the BoBunny Midnight Frost Collection Pack. The package includes 18 sheets of double sided cardstock (2 each of 9 designs) and 1 accessory sheet with alphas and coordinating diecut shapes. This line has such gorgeous, deeply rich colors, that I was very impressed. I love how many of the papers have one side that is more muted and feature a distressed appearance, making them fabulous bases for layering. I also greatly enjoyed the accessory sheet that comes with the papers. Here’s what I created:
For this layout, I used the sketch provided on their blog for their Friday challenge. CLICK HERE if you’d like to create a layout for their challenge too. Hope you enjoy the Midnight Frost collection as much as I did! 😀

I recently received my first set of un-mounted rubber stamps made by Unity Stamp Company. The set I tried out was the Co-branded Sweet Season set featuring Webster’s Pages designs.
Upon opening the packaging, which was very environmentally friendly, I quickly noticed that these stamps already have the cling foam attached for you and are already pre-cut! All you have to do is punch them out, peel the protective white paper off of the cling and you’re ready to go! No more sticky foam mounting and messy cutting with these fabulous stamps! A+++ for ease of use. 😀
I then inked them up and took them for a test run. I was very impressed with the deeply etched intricate designs, the high quality rubber and even the quality of the cling foam that they use. The resulting impressions were gorgeous! I can’t wait to get my hands on some more!
Unity Stamp Co. offers a wide variety of un-mounted red rubber stamps, and some mounted stamps as well. They now also offer 11 Co-brands such as; IOD (Iron Orchid Designs), Cosmo Cricket, Donna Downey, Echo Park, Webster’s Pages, Bella Blvd and more! Many of the Co-Brands cater to papercrafters, so their stamps are designed to coordinate with their designer papers!
Currently in their sale section, you’ll find many goodies priced below $10. Lots of their kits are marked down 30%-75% off for their year end clearance! PLUS They are offering FREE SHIPPING until the end of the year (so you’d better hurry!) AND a FREE STAMP for every $10 you spend until Jan 3rd 10am CST.
