Welcome to the My Mind’s Eye 2011 Holiday Hoopla blog hop! My name is Amber Packer. I am the My Mind's Eye design team lead. I am also a wife, mother and friend and am so very humbled at the opportunities I have.

If you came to my blog from the My Mind's Eye blog then you are on the right track.  If you came to visit me (thank you!) and haven’t been participating in the hop… take a minute and hop over to the My Mind’s Eye blog so you can play with us!

My contribution to the secret phrase is: Wishing YOU

As 2011 is nearing a close, we thought we would share with you our favorite projects from the past year. With products from My Mind's Eye to work with, I love most every project. However, with the passing of my grandpa this past year, I have had the chance to reflect upon the importance of this hobby we share. It is a legacy we are leaving those who come behind us.

That being said, I am going to share with you two layouts I created about two of my Grandparents. I hope they share a little of who they are with those who didn't know them in this life.

Amber Packer_More than you know I Love You

From my blog, you will now visit Jana's blog. 

I hope you take the time to comment on each blog you visited on your way here.  Remember to leave a comment on the My Mind’s Eye blog and email the secret phrase to amber@mymindseye.com (that’s me).

Since this is the season of giving, I want to offer a special Christmas giveaway from me to you!  I'm going to giveaway one kit that includes both of the two-page layouts I taught at Inspiration Unlimited.

My drawing will end when the MME blog hop does, midnight, December 28.  Good luck!

I hope you enjoyed your stop here.  Look around.  I hope you'll find clip_image001value in what I have written.  Happy Holidays!

    A wonderful tribute to your grandparents. You are very fortunate to have photos of yourself with them. I am at an age, where there were not a lot of photos taken, and I do not have any of myself with my grandparents…but rest assured I will scrap each of them. Merry Christmas.

    Love your layouts, they are so inspiring. I as well know the importance of scrapping to leave a legacy since both my parents passed away. Our layouts are our way of letting our children know who their grandpartents were. Thanks for this hoopla blog hop and a blessed Merry Christmas.

    I also lost a loved one this year and I think reflecting upon them through memories and scrapbooking can be therapeutic. Thanks for sharing your story and your beautiful layouts!

    These are wonderful! I love the layering on them both. I don’t have many pics of my grandparents, but many vivid memories. This inspires me to do a photoless layout or two with my memories.
