My Mind's Eye Lime Twist 180 pages

My Mind's Eye has released larger paper pads of their collections Lime Twist, Stella and Rose, So Sophie as well as Market Street.  Not having a regular store that carries My Mind's Eye in 6x6 paper pad collections, I've not yet picked any of these up.

Saturday, however, I was out and about in town.  My local paper shop and scrapbooking enabler Warehouse Stationery has a sale on these 180-sheet My Mind's Eye pads.

I picked up the Lime Twist collection for a mere $25 (about 20% off) as it was fun, bright, and included some much coveted chevron patterns which are a big hit this season.

This pad has a lot of vibrant, playful colours and patterns that are gender and somewhat a little age neutral. I could imagine doing a lot of children's birthdays and  some adult-oriented birthday cards with this one pad.  The patterns are really fresh, like the aqua wood grain, hexagons, chevrons, and stars.  Even has a little bit of a "retro 70's schoolhouse rock" feel.  Very awesome.

I really think this is a great collection despite being thinner paper.  I am probably going to start crafting with this right away, as I still need to replenish my stock of birthday cards both for sale and personal use.

The paper itself in this pad isn't a heavy cardstock, it's a lighter paper (feels about 160gsm).  Because of this, this patterned paper will be ideal for layering and building POPS of colour.

Washi Tape From Typo

I also picked up some fun washi tapes at my local Typo store in town, but they're not released yet on their website!  I feel so exclusive!  Please excuse my bad photography.  I think the black lace pattern with hearts is just so cute.  The brown tape is a bronze/coppery colour and is quite cool.  I could definitely do some edging with this tape.

If you have the Lime Twist (out of the blue or otherwise) and used it in a card or layout, link me!  I'd love to see it and be inspired by your talent!
