noninvasive groundcover suggestions?

Hi,

I've spent most of this month reclaiming my yard from the Vinca minor,
Hedera and Tropaeolum that was planted by a previous low maintenance
gardener. Hopefully I've gotten most of it, though I don't think I'll
ever eradicate the Calla that thrives in my yard.

Now I'm looking for some manageable groundcover suggestions that won't
take over other plants and shrubs (and the neighbors' yard as well). I
have many spots in the yard to replant, some clay; a built up fir bark
bed; some shade and some direct sun. I have replanted a couple of
areas with different types of creeping Thyme, but I looking for more
ideas and suggestions that differ from what everyone else in the
neighborhood plants.

Any suggestions or helpful books would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Dave
