Today we are featuring the new My Mind's Eye Lost & Found 2 Blush Collection. I was really excited when I saw my papers and had to finally admit to myself that even though I've been trying so hard to avoid pink all my life, I really love that colour! And Blush is all about pinks and reds and occasional, but very charming green. The collection is innocent and pastel and in the same time bold and bright. My paper crafter's heart could not but love it. It's truly versatile and can be used for so many different occasions. You can go girly (as in my Always Friends layout), plush and shiny (Find joy every day), vintage (Thank you card) or romantic (Butterflies card).
