Color Me Miki Scrapbook Kit! "Surf City"

I loved this kit!! "Surf City" was such a joy to work with, so many pretty bright papers and embellishments, and yet, flip over the paper to just the right side, and you could really get a wonderful old time vintage beach look too. Loving the My Little Shoebox chipboard letters!! Here is a layout I created with the kit............my son and my nephew out in the warm sun at our favorite little spot at Carlsbad beach.....how spoiled are we? :)

Check out Terri's June Kits here at the Color Me Miki site............

and check out what my friend and partner in Best Bettie Craziness, Erin, did with BOTH kits during her guest designer gig for Color Me Miki... here at her blog.....scroll on down to the May 31st post!! She ROCKED BOTH KITS fiercely!!

This was the last month I am "officially" designing for Color Me Miki...........it makes me so sad, but I'll still be around "unofficially", naming kits when begged...hehe....and working with the super shabby chic ones, cuz I just shab chic really easily! ;) THANK YOU, TERRI! It was the best DT gig ever!! :)

Little Red Cottage's Featured Items.....What is.....

...blooming over at Little Red Cottage! Go check out all the wonderful FLOWER embellishments in the SCRAPBOOK EMBELLISHMENT SECTION of the shop.........you'll find wonderful pink floral vines by Prima.....fun felt flowers in beachy colors....and handmade silk flower tags.....a dozen layers of luscious petals attached to a groovy shipping tag....use as is for a gift tag or take apart of the layers of flowers for lots and lots of great embellishments for layouts!

Luxe Gift Tags!

I thoroughly enjoyed creating some luxe gift tags for my Little Red Cottage.....Just tie these sweeties onto the handle of a gift bag, and you are set to go to a birthday party or shower! I found some wonderfully colored shipping tags, and they are a great size, 6"x3", so there is plenty of room to do all the things I love to do...layer patterned paper, layered die cuts, fabric, ribbon, sewing on buttons....oh..Thank You, Miss Frog Feathers, aka Blonde Bettie, for showing me how to use my sewing machine to sew on buttons...wow, that was one terrific sewing lesson!! :)

These tags are all one-of-a-kind, so if you like 'em, snag them up! Baseball Bettie has already snagged up the darling pink and green one............there are currently three in the SCRAPBOOKS EMBELLISHMENTS section of my Little Red Cottage.................don't delay, go check them out!
