My Mind's Eye July Challenge Inspiration!

Hello! 

I am SO excited to show you two of the projects I have been working on for My Mind's Eye! 

Most of the reason they picked me as a guest designer was because I won one of their monthly challenges two months ago! SO I HIGHLY recommend participating! They are sketch challenges and so much fun! I also LOVE that there is a layout sketch and a card sketch! They don't leave anyone out! 

Here is my (GASP) layout based on the sketch below. This was Memorial Day. I realized I'm not that great at photographing layouts! I couldn't get the color of the paper and the color of the photos to match exactly how they are in real life. So the photos are a bit dark. Sorry about that! 

I made both of these with Artful Delight's July Kit which is almost ALL My Mind's Eye Lime Twist!!! LOVE it! There are only a couple left though!
