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’m pretty new to the world of scrapbooking, but I’ve done a lot of “shopping around.” I’ve discovered a lot of brands that I adore and will eventually get around to sharing them all with you, but I’d like to start with my absolute favorite! Webster’s Pages (www.websterspages.com) has papers, diecut pages, embellishments, trim, journaling cards, etc. that is to die for! Gorgeous, detailed, high quality products. Here are some pics of the layout I created using some of their fantastic papers, stickers and a journaling card.
This layout was created using core’dinations cardstock (the background paper), Webster’s pages 6″ x 6 ” paper for all of the photo mats and frames, Webster’s Pages stickers (the tree, branches and leaves, and butterflies) and journaling card (bottom left corner), Cloud9 rub-ons and Prima flowers.
Here’s a closeup of where I’ve tucked a hidden tag (with a private message for my son) which I matted with Webster’s Pages paper and tied with assorted fibers and charms.
This layout was my entry in the Webster’s Pages September Challenge. I was very impressed with the quality of the papers and how durable their journaling cards are. I adore their lovely designs and vintage look. I just wish I’d had more of their products to work with! I do feel, however, that my layout shows how nicely the Webster’s Pages products coordinate with anything you’ve got on hand. Their products would make a wonderful addition to anyone’s crafting supplies
