Speaking of My Mind's Eye projects...

If you've been on our Facebook fanpage today, then you're probably well aware of the contest going on! No? Well, we want to see what you've done with your My Mind's Eye stuff lately. And to enter you just have to send a picture of your recent My Mind's Eye project to lana @ ohmycrafts . com, along with a few details on what you used, how you did it, and so on. And three select winners will receive awesome stuff from the one of the Lush collections!

Well, as luck would have it, our designer Lindsey has been up to a little somethin' with Life Story (#1). What are the odds?

Too bad for her—she can't be part of the competition.

But we're showing off her card loud and proud today anyway, in spirit of the contest and all. Oh, and that gorgeous embellishment front and center (okay, more like slightly off-center, which is an awesome design technique) is from the Prima, the Ameruse Duchess Mix.

Isn't it breathtaking?

Happy Monday! And happy crafting! And happy contesting! And happy Spring! And.....

You get the idea.

10 days 'til Easter!

Easter is a great holiday. First of all, there's Cadbury Mini's. Furthermore, when else can you craft to the tune of gorgeous spring flowers, beautiful pastel color schemes and darling little chicks and bunnies? Oh, and then wicker baskets. Those are great for, well, everything!

And we could probably go on all day about coloring Easter eggs and egg hunts.

However, instead we'll focus on some lovely Easter projects we rounded up while perusing through some of our favorite blogs and sites. Get a load of this darling Easter project we found on the Fancy Pants site:

This one features an oldie but a goodie from the Basic Grey site, Eva:

And this darling Cricut card uses Doodlecharms and Walk in My Garden:

And finally, take a look at this ingenious Easter bucket, made by our creative director, Sandy Cottle, using Oh My Vinyl.

So that's all for today, friends.

Happy Spring and Easter-preparing!

Where's the craft bus today?

Today several members of the OMC staff are hanging out with friends in Spokane, Washington for the bus tour shin dig that we've been raving about nonstop. Word is they're having a grand time scrapping their hearts out. And yesterday the bus toodled around Tacoma, teaching this cutesy mini album and these home decor projects:

(If these lovely home decor projects look familiar to you, it's because they are! It's the Quick Quotes project kit that we worked on during our New England / Canada cruise this past fall. And we loved it so much that we decided to bring it to our Tacoma peeps!)

Which one is YOUR fave?

And you may recall from a few weeks ago—when we showcased some stunning pictures of the warehouse we said goodbye to—we also gave you a sneak peek at one of the projects they're working on this very minute! 'Member? Those stunning Sizzix boxes made with Graphic 45's Le Romantique?? Well here's the tags that go with 'em. Striking, aren't they?

Which one is YOUR fave?

And that's just one of the classes. They'll also be teaching the techniques used to make these fun cards:

And of course, Stacy Julian is there also! Here's the cute postcards that she's instructing in her class:

Isn't it all so wonderful? We'll be sure to hook you up with some awesome footage of these fun events once they're through.

Where will the bus be headed next? Redding, CA! And friends there will get the chance to work on the mini album and fun cards showcased above.

Wanna know when the bus will be headed your way? Take a gander here.

Happy crafting!
