My Mind's Eye has always been a company that I have enjoyed. I love the crazy amounts of paper and embellishments that come with each collection. Just so fun! With Quite Contrary nothing changed. SO fun and SO versatile. Both boy and girl themed! FAB. So let's begin shall we?
What I liked:
1. I love the double sided paper. Gives you so much value for your money.
2. I love the weight of the paper. Cardstock weight is much preferred over text weight.
3. So many tight wonderful patterns! A card maker's delight!
What I didn't like:
1. I really like some of the patterns but would have liked to see them in girl colors their cute owl paper for example.

I love MME, the weight of the paper alone is reason to buy this line. I love what you've done w/ this collection.
I always love MME! Beautiful colors, great embellishments and coordinating items, and they have a wide application. Great stuff!
The papers are beautiful! And I agree the paper weight and double side is great with MME!
My favorite thing about the My Mind's Eye collections are all the journaling blocks and embellishments that coordinate with the papers. I love it when my journaling feels more like part of the layout!
I love the colors and the patterns; I love using lots of colors in my layouts so this is perfect.
MME double sided papers open up the doors for sooo many crafting possibilities - love the projects you posted, esp. the last one!

Looks great to me. Thanks for a chance to win some.
MME is awesome..love the patterns & definately the double sided aspect!
I have always been a fan of mme. I am a contrary type of person sometimes! But mostly quiet!
Definitely like the line...it's "quite" what i like :)
Love MME's papers!
From looking at your projects, I think the collection looks gorgeous! Love your layout!
I love this collection. The patterns are great and the weight of the paper is fabulous.
so cute! love those polka dots!
This is one of my favourite lines of paper (by any manufacturer) ever. For most of them I love both patterns (on either side of each paper). It is really beautiful and great for all different kinds of pages.
Also I like the weight of the paper--heavy enough to use as base cardstock, which I like to do with the more subtle patterns.
It's a bit more girly than I normally buy (since I have a son), but it would be fun for those rare projects I do for friends with girls! Thanks for the chance to win.
Fabulous design!
I love MME. Your page and cards are awesome. Love them.
I love MME and your creations are adorable! I could use that paper on layouts of my 3 1/2 year old. :)
Thanks for the chance to win.

I love everything MME but they are not easy to find where I live. Their papers are great for making cards & I love the embellishments too. Your cards & layout look great!
I love MME and this line is no different! I love the color scheme!
This is quite possibly my favorite line EVER, I can't get enough of it!
I like MME, but I do not like glitter papers, and stuff, and every time I find MME at the store, there is always glitter and textures on them
I dislike Glitter papers, but I love this line, and I like this paper, just hope there's not glitter :)
