I have designed pages for MAMBI for over four years - in fact they were my introduction to the industry and I just adore the company and their products. They are releasing three new lines at CHA Winter called Modern Milan, Coastal Culture and Renee and they are awesome - the best lines they have ever released!!! I love all three, but I am particularly in LOVE with the Modern Milan line as it matches my house and reminds me of the new Pottery Barn catalog cover and furnishings - very up to date and bright colors. All three have paper that comes in 12x12 pads, some with glitter, velvet, gold leafing and lots of texture on them. They all have Soft Spoken, kits with 12x12 chipboard, rhinestones, stickers, rubs ons and lots of fun goodies! And with that, here are some pages using the lines (quite a few pages!).
This is Coastal Culture - muted colors in tans, reds, blues, greens, browns and blacks. The papers (black and tan and cream with swirls) have black velvet on them.
This is called Renee and is family based - tons of bright colors which I love! The first layout is made with a 12x12 kit that has chipboard pieces I used for the circle and swirls.
This layout was also made with Renee - the brown paper is embossed:
Last is Modern Milan - the line is so easy to use I made this one in about 30 minutes (love when everything just goes together so easily!):
I made these five layouts as WALL ART - they will be framed in 12x12 white frames for my entry wall (which is why they don't have titles or journaling). These use just about every paper in the collection and there are a lot of them! The red behind my mug has gold foil on it. On the Sophie page, all the white designs are velvet - very nice to the touch! The Tom page has glitter on it in the shape of a heart and wings (very fitting for the man of the house!).
And that my friends is the new MAMBI! Go to the sidebar and click on Jamie (who is Jamie Harper) and Angelia (who is Angelia Wiggington) to see their great designs with these lines on their blogs. Suzy

Not only do I have to clean the drool off my desk after seeing this eye candy, I have to write down your idea for the front entry... BEAUTIFUL!!! Your work always inspires me, but that idea to highlight each member of the family for the entry is so simple and so perfect! LOVE IT! Look forward to seeing you at CHA! Chat soon! Tracey :-)

Wow you are a busy scrapper lately! What a great idea to make the layouts for your entry. I too want to see a photo of them hung on the wall. I need to make time to scrap- just as soon as we get back from vacation it will need to be on my must do list. Love the layouts.
