So enough talk about the cake! Here is my layout for the challenge using a mix of My Minds Eye collections from my stash. The brads alone come from about 5 different ones!!!

I love My Minds Eye for their gorgeous patterns and embellishments. But what I love the most are the colors and how perfectly they match and coordinate from one collection to the next. I also tend to buy it and hoard it, but I have quite a bit of it from some recent scrappy shopping that I am feeling a little more comfortable with digging in to it and using it!!!
