1. What is your favorite MME collection of all time? Why?
I honestly couldn't get enough of the Stella & Rose collection (and I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a Stella & Rose 2). I loved that it had bright, happy colors,that were muted a bit with a vintage, distressed feel. I loved the pattern and font choices. I loved all of the delicious embellishments included in this collection: the layered chipboard elements, dimensional stickers, trims, decorative brads, and the button cards (too cute for words!). I couldn't stop reaching for this collection and the multiple Stella & Rose layouts in my scrapbooks prove it! I have hoarded every last piece of this collection and I'm not sharing! LOL!
2. What is one MME item you find yourself reaching for over and over?
Oh, gosh! Just one?! Sigh. I guess I would say the decorative brads. Buttons are usually my first embellishment choice for a layout, but I gotta say . . . the decorative brads by My Mind's Eye have made me fall in love with brads all over again!
3. What is your favorite thing about designing for MME?
My most favorite thing about designing for My Mind's Eye is the variety of styles in their paper collections. Each collection is an instant classic that I know will look gorgeous in my scrapbooks for years and years to come, but each of them also have their own personality. One collection will have a vintage appeal, while the next will be sprinkled with bright colors and playful elements. Every time the new collections are revealed it's like a scrapbooker's Christmas morning dream. You never know what you're going to get, but you know that you are going to love every single bit of it! My Mind's Eye has something for everyone!
4. If you could design a MME collection what would it be called and what would it contain?
I love the feel of small towns that are full of history and charm. You know the ones . . . with darling houses surrounded by porches, picket fences, large mature trees, and 100's of beautiful flowers lining the walkways. One of those big trees probably has a tire swing on it, too. The name might be something like the Front Porch collection and include lots of medium-bright candy colors . . . strawberry red, aqua, orange, yellow, pink and a kelly green. The patterns would include basics like ledger, woodgrain, text, polka dot, stripes, and lots of tone-on-tone patterns. A little bit of kraft paper mixed in could be fun, too. I would also like to see some quilt-inspired patterns and patterns inspired by vintage embroidered tea towels and samplers. I would probably add a few friendly critters (like birds, butterflies and squirrels) in there for good measure. :) There would definitely be layered chipboard elements, dimensional stickers, label stickers, buttons, brads, and lots of journaling spots . . . all of the My Mind's Eye classics. I would also have to include baker's twine in fun colors, maybe two colors entwined like the colors of old-fashioned stick candy.
5. If you could wallpaper a room in your home with one MME paper, what would it be?
What a fun question! I would have to pick something from the Lost & Found 2 Sunshine collection . . . I'm thinking either side of the Adore paper would work so well in so many areas of my home. Love it!
Can you please share your 3 favorite MME projects and tell us why they are your favorite?
THANKFUL by Jana Eubank
I'm not a huge journaler. Infact, most of the time I limit my journaling to the size of whichever journal spot I decide to use on my page. For this page, I decided to step out of my comfort zone and make a page design that focused on the journaling. It totally stressed me out, but I was happy when it came together successfully. I felt like I had conquered something that I had been afraid to try.
WACKY WATER WAR by Jana Eubank
I love this page, because I just had so much fun making it! I love the bright colors of the Alphabet Soup Boy collection and had a great time making water waves from the woodgrain patterned paper.
YOU & ME by Jana Eubank
I love this page because it features my favorite My Mind's Eye collection ever . . . the Stella & Rose Mabel collection. I usually am ready to move past a collection after creating a few pages with a collection, but this one kept calling my name over and over. I used everything I loved about this collection on this particular page. The woodgrain paper, the text paper, the delicious layered chipboard elements and dimensional stickers . . . not to mention that awesome zipper trim and the decorative brads. I also loved the silly photos of me and my daughter on this page. They aren't the greatest quality, but they captured a memory of my daughter and I hanging out together.
One last thing...will you please share a photo of your scrap space?
That's it for today...I sure hope you enjoyed getting to know Jana a little better. I know I did!
