“They say it’s our birthday, Happy Birthday to us!” (sung with joy)
July marks one year since we started our blog. That’s right! It’s our one year Blog Birthday and YOU are invited to join in the party!
Here's what we’re going to do:
- Start here, at the My Mind’s Eye blog, and “hop” on over to every blog you are sent to.
- Each of our fabulous designers will share a WORD with you. All these words together make our Secret Phrase.
- Leave a comment on each blog.
- At each blog, you will be directed to another blog. Be sure to visit and comment on each blog, to increase your chances of winning!
***IMPORTANT: Begin the blog hop at the My Mind's Eye blog and hop in order so you can have the correct secret phrase.***
- When you hop back to this blog, leave a comment saying that you are done and email the secret phrase to: [email protected]. (don't include the words in your blog comment)
- Our blog hop will close Wednesday, July 21, 2010 at midnight.
You know My Mind’s Eye, and we aren’t doing this just for fun - although we will have fun. We’re doing it for prizes! By playing along with us, YOU could win one of EVERY new release we showed you last week.
WHAT, you say!? Yes, one lucky winner will win one of everything in our Alphabet Soup (Boy & Girl), Haunted, Blackbird, Holly Jolly, I Believe and Lost & Found (all four color schemes) collections!
There will be two ways to win at our party:
1) Grand prize: After visiting every blog, email Amber the secret phrase. One winner will receive one of everything in our CHA-S release. (6 blogs = 6 words).
2) Bonus entry: We will randomly draw one of our designer’s blogs and draw one winner from the comments on that designer’s blog. This winner will receive our entire So Sophie collection!
Are you ready? You will first hop from here to … Anam’s blog
To thank you for your support of My Mind’s Eye and our blog, there are door prizes at our party, too. Before you leave to start hopping, don’t forget to pick up some birthday inspiration given to you by our Design Team!

The fresh and bright colors of the NEW "Alphabet Soup" line were perfect for these birthday photos! I cut off the end of the rainbow border strip to make a circle frame for the number 7. I used Glossy Accents on the fun circle photo frame, ticket, and chipboard letters to make them "pop" and coordinate with the fabulous epoxy brads.

The flower was made by cutting different length strips of Lush ribbon and layering them into a flower shape and securing with a brad.

I wanted to put a photo on the top of the box so I cut a circle to fit the top of the box and wound white string around it for texture. I then made two types of flowers using the luxurious Lush Damask Line to decorate the top and added two leaves cut from the Helpful Hounds tooth paper. A bit of clear transparency over the photo helps protect it from sticky fingers!
