Time to start the countdown ...

The new decade is just around the corner.  However you want to say it,  "twenty-ten" or "two thousand and ten", 2010 is almost here!!  We have some changes in store for Color Me Miki in the new year, and I hope you like them!

Due to some unforeseen circumstances, the January kit release is going to be delayed one day.  The kit will go live on January 1st at 7PM.  I am sorry for the inconvenience!  But, to make it up to you all, here are pictures and prices of the kits.

Love is in the Air ($29):

This is the main kit for January.  It has a mix of papers from Prima, Webster's Pages and Graphic 45.

The add-on, Sweet Love ($18):

The add-on features more papers from Prima and Webster's Pages.
Purchase BOTH Love is in the Air and Sweet Love at the discounted price of $42 (Save $5).


And, we have a Valentine Mini-Kit for you this month, Cupid's Arrow ($22):

Papers and embellishments from Pink Paislee and My Mind's Eye.

And from January 1st through January 9th, shipping will be a flat rate of $6 for all U.S. orders.

Don't forget to look through the Miki-Mart.  EVERYTHING in the Miki-Mart is 25-40% off of retail ... AND ... it will be that way from now on!  YES, if an item makes it into the Miki-Mart it will be discounted!  Woo Hoo!  We add new items to the mart every month, from paints to papers.  Check it out!

The Winter 2010 Guest Designer will be announced shortly.  We went international this time!

I hope you have a safe and fun New Year's Eve, and may you all be prosperous, happy and healthy in 2010!!

Merry Christmas!

From All of Us at Color Me Miki,

We wish you a Merry Christmas!

Happy Winter Solstice!

Well, winter is officially here!  Although folks on the east coast will agree that it came in with a mighty big punch a couple of days early.  I hope everyone is safe and warm!

Here are a couple of sneak peek layouts of the January kits.  These were made by Emelyn.

 

 So pretty!!

The kits go on sale on December 31st at 7 PM!

Christmas Tag Tutorial by Jennifer

First, I'd like to THANK Jennifer Priest for agreeing to be the guest designer for the last three months.  Her layouts and projects were just awesome.  If you are in So. Cal. you need to take a class with her!  Her classes and projects are just way too cute!!  Thank you Jennifer!!

Jennifer created some tags with the December kit and wrote up this little tutorial on how see made them.

It's happened to the best of us...wrapping presents at midnight on Christmas Eve and you run out of gift tags! My mom took to using Sharpie right on the gift wrap when presents were "from Santa" because she always ran out of tags but being a crafter, it's got to be handmade for me!

These gift tags can be created in a snap using scraps in your stash. Using the Round-It-All gives these "scrappy" tags a finished, professional look. And you don't have to wait until Christmas Eve to make some -- use them as tags all year long, just change the color scheme.

Supplies:
Corner Rounder - Zutter Round It All
Hole Punch - Zutter Rivet Hole Punch
Paper - Graphic 45, Bazzill, My Mind's Eye
Baker's Twine - Raffit
Punch, Felt Snowflakes - Stampin' Up!
Stamps - Basic Grey
Ink - Memento


Assembly:
1. Cut some double sided paper into 2.5" or so squares.

2. Stack up the squares and use the Round It All to round the edges all at one time (nifty, huh?)

3. Punch a hole in one corner and put a string through -- you can use yarn if you don't have any cute baker's twine or ribbon. You can use the Zutter Rivet Hole Punch to punch holes through your stack of tags all at once.

4. Stamp "To" and "From" on the back of the tag.

5. Punch stars or holiday themed shapes from scrap cardstock or use stickers & pre-made accents, like the felt snowflakes I used on my tags here, to embellish the front of the tag.

Happy Wrapping!
