Have we talked about this collaboration between Simple Stories and My Mind’s Eye? I started looking at the collection and it felt familiar but in a good way; I like the colors and oddly enough I just love the pastel tigers! I’m wondering if the two companies will do more together. I thought MME wasn’t doing scrapbook stuff anymore. www.simplestories.com/collections/wildflower |

That is a gorgeous collection. I think I would like to decorate a bedroom with those designs, but would likely never use it for scrapbooks.

I think this is on Peachy Cheap today.
I ordered two sheets each of that tiger paper (I think it's a tiger). I really love it.
So bizarre.

Has a little BG vibe going on. Lovely but not my style.

I didn't get it last night as I don't want the sticker book or the bits and pieces ephemera, just the journaling tags and a couple sheets of paper. It is bizzare lol. But so pretty! |

I wasn't expecting that before noon. I don't know what I would do with the kit. I'm using the tiger papers in my WITL as they oddly match with the 3X8 number cards. I also added a piece of that moth paper to my ACOT cart because I need it as well. |

I love that collection, I'm getting it for my birthday in a few weeks. It's just so pretty. I don't have much MME stuff, it was never really my preference, but this is just so pretty, I guess I've changed.

I stopped reading this thread at this post and went immediately to the site to buy it. I am technically frozen, so it is a good thing it is sold out already, but I would have done it! 😄 |

Now you have me thinking I should go buy more of it. #enabler LOL. some things are worth enabling. i love the textured papers and pick it up any chance i get on the secondary market. that was a really great collection. then MME veered into party supplies and other stuff i couldn't get into. it made me love the old stuff even more. |

This paper line screams every old relative's kitchen I can remember when I was very young. Brought back some memories for sure.

That’s cool that they are working together.
It’s pretty, but too pastel and vintagey for me.

I picked up some of this earlier this year and I love it more in person than I did online. This kind of muted colour scheme is totally in my wheelhouse, especially that shade of pink, and I love the main floral paper on pink and the b side on that same sheet. Most of the embellishments aren't really my thing, so I think I only bought the floral die cuts, the page pieces, and the brads.

Previously discussed in this thread, I find this collection too "old fashioned," feminine, floral, & yellow (my least favorite color). MME has been bought out by Simple Stories or something to that effect Please link your source. Per Simple Stories announcement, this Wildflower collection is "in coordination with My Mind's Eye." It was my understanding that MME exited the scrapbooking industry in Q1 2022 to focus on stationery & party goods (see company website here & discussion there). My Colors Cardstock, originated by MME, is now produced by Photoplay (see website & discussion in this thread). |

This is gorgeous. Maybe some prints a little hard to use, but my my. Thanks for showing us kmage. And PaperAngel, Thanks for keeping up with who owns who and who makes what. So confusing.  |
