Good morning, MME fans! We are so excited that you are here today. It's time for this month's guest designer and we are thrilled with what she has submitted this month.
We are so excited to introduce you to Juliana Michaels. Juliana loves MME and it shows. She has been on our radar for quite some time as she consistently creates and shares with our products.
We knew we had to have her as a guest designer and we are over the moon that she accepted.
Hello! My name is Juliana
Michaels. I grew up loving art, crafting and photography thanks to a
creative mother who loved to paint, sew and draw. I love color, texture,
trying new techniques and playing with new products. The products
inspire me to create whatever it is that I make whether it be a card, a
scrapbook layout or an altered object/home decor item. My Minds Eye has
been a favorite of mine for as long as I can remember. The quality of
their products combined with their exceptional
designs makes for the perfect match when it comes to paper crafting. I
am thrilled to be the October Guest Designer and I hope you enjoy the
projects I have shared with you as much as I enjoyed creating them.
Q: What did you have the most fun creating with and why?
A: I had fun working with all of the collections, but
my favorite was Happy Haunting. I am a huge Halloween fanatic and this
collection really got me in the crafty mood to decorate my home for our
upcoming Halloween party!
Q: What is your favorite MME collection of all time?
A:This is a tough question, because I have loved pretty
much every line MME has ever created. If I have to pick just one, I
would say that it would have to be Collectable. The warm primary colors
really spoke to me and were so fun to create with. I was quite
sad when I finally used my last sheet of paper.

Juliana says:We went on a recent vacation to Mexico and I knew
that the Cut & Paste Charm collection would be perfect to scrap some
of our photos. I choose this photo of my husband enjoying our day out
deep sea fishing and created the large sunburst to help remind
us of how hot it was that day. I used a digital cutting file and a piece
of paper from the 6x6 paper pad for the sun and then extened the rays,
using the decorative tape.

Juliana says:The first time my nieces went to the American Girl
Place they were in awe. It was so cute when we walked up to the store
and they stopped to look in the window at McKenna, their dream doll. The
Adorbs line with all the pink and bright colors was a perfect
fit to capture this special and happy day.

Juliana says:This is another photo from our Mexico vacation...our traditional
vacation selfie. We always take one of these no matter where we go. I
was inspired to create the houndstooth die cut background from the Cut
& Paste Charm Bliss "Jovial" paper. I then cut
some extra houndstooth shapes from the 6x6 Paper Pad and attached them
here and there with double sided foam tape. I then had fun creating a
vertical border using a combination of chipboard, buttons and enamel
dots.
WHOA! Juliana....we are so in love with everything you created. Thank you so much!
And you all won't even believe it but there is MORE. Make sure to come back tomorrow and see what Juliana has up her sleeve.
