Featured Manufacturer for January

In 2009 we're starting a monthly feature here at the store!  Each month, we'll be highlighting a new company.  We'll post some samples here on the blog, in the gallery, on the newsletter, etc so you can see some cool things from this manufacturer!

In January, our Featured Manufacturer is My Mind's Eye.  This is an awesome company as they make designing so very simple!  They have collections with coordinating papers, most are double-sided, some have a really cool texture to it as well.  The best part?  They design some unique diecuts, rubons, transparent diecuts, transparent frames, regular frames, and now chipboard borders and accents, and even acrylic stamps with matching inks!!!

Seriously cool stuff, to be able to find 2 different pattern papers that coordinate (with a matching solid or another pattern on the back) along with a title, or a quote, or some fun pieces that match perfectly!  We are offering all of our My Mind's Eye products at a 15% discount during the month of January.

We carry the newer lines from My Mind's Eye including:

Laundry Line - this one is just sooo pretty, and the web just doesn't do these papers, etc justice.  These papers are heavy-weight, single sided papers, but they're all glittered!!  They're just absolutely beautiful.  Then, with this line, they came out with acrylic stamps, inks, chipboard borders, chipboard diecuts, rubons, rubon alphabets, and of course their standard journaling cards or diecut shapes.

Just Dreamy 2 - This is a new look for My Mind's Eye.  It's very bright and cheerful with no distressing.  These work great for spring/summer pictures or just every day pictures of the kids.  This collection has heavy-weight papers that are double-sided.  The embellishments range from titles, quotes, journaling cards, transparent shapes, transparent diecuts and more!

29th Street Market - This is a cool "old-fashioned" looking collection.  They have gorgeous double-sided papers and some really unique diecut shapes and accessories.

Wild Asparagus 4 - This is the 4th release of the WA collections.  These are some beautifully textured papers that are extremely heavy-weight and double-sided.  They have great embellishments with this collection including some shimmer alphabet shapes, shimmer frames, titles and more!

The layout on the left is by Design Team member Lucy.  She used some of the papers and embellishments from the Just Dreamy 2 collection.  She also added some Making Memories Puffy alphabet stickers in black (look for a sneak peek of those in the February kit!).

The card on the right is from Design Team member Lynn.  This uses one of the chipboard diecuts from the Laundry Line collection.
