My Mind's Eye / Tombow Blog Hop!

Hey there, friends!  Welcome to the My Mind's Eye & Tombow Blog Hop!  These two amazing companies are teaming up together to give you the opportunity to win this amazing prize pack...check it out!


This prize includes:




The MME design team was sent some amazing products from Tombow to combine with our MME products.  We received a set of fluorescent colored pencils, two different types of adhesive, and some liquid glue.  I pulled out the new Chalk Studio II collection and started my design around the colors blue and black.  I wanted the colored pencils to show up nice and bright, so I used them to draw a big circle behind my photo cluster, and I colored in some of the white design on the black paper.

I then wanted to add in a few more colors, so I dug into my older MME stash and grabbed a few things from the older Find Your Wings & Fly collection.  The colors wound up meshing well together, and I loved how it all came together.  I used all three adhesives to hold it all together.


I even used some stamps from the Collectable line here...I stamped them on transparency paper so I could move them around.  I love the bright colors from these papers!


Lots of paper layers held together using the Xtreme Permanent Adhesive...I am in love with this stuff!  It's very strong.


I layered in a few embellishments here, along with some tangled thread.


More layering...I used the liquid glue for this chipboard ticket.  I always like to glue down pieces even though they already have a sticky back...just to make sure it stays :)


Here's a close up of the beautiful fluorescent colored pencils...so fun to play with!
