It's March 15th!

That means sneak peek time! We have two kits for you for April, "Home" and "Garden". Here is a quick look at both of them ...



They are both so cute and filled with all new CHA 2009 products. Little things that fit in a Shoebox, mixed with other Craft-y goodies that are just Prima!


I also want to share with you this layout I did using the March add-on kit, Ruby. I also used embellishments from the March main kit, Scarlet. I just love these new papers from Prima, and the Chatterbox chipboards are so cute!!

Unfortunately, we are sold out of the Chatterbox Chipboard Shapes, but we still have the Chipboard Words in stock.

Later this week, I am going to share with you some cool things I've been experimenting with ... New mixed media products that will go on sale probably this weekend! So much fun! And, I'll also have more sneak peeks later in the week!

Have a great week everyone!

This weekend, Scrapbook Royalty is hosting a weekend crop over at the Boys and Girls Club of San Marcos. This is a wonderful organization that raises money for many charities all over the U.S. If you are attending the event, Color Me Miki will have a few kits on sale at the event. 25% of the profits from the sale of these kits will go to Scrapbook Royalty.


And in other news, effective April 1st the sales tax in California is going up by 1%. What that means for Color Me Miki is that all California sales and deliveries after March 31st will now be taxed at 8.75% versus the current 7.75%. Not happy at all, but it is what it is.

Well, have a lucky Friday the 13th and come back this weekend for some peeks of the April kits! Oh, wait till you see what we have in store for you! Wonderful goodies in little shoeboxes!

There is also a mini-kit this month, RUBY.

This one is filled with all new goodies from the Winter 2009 CHA show.



Our guest designer this month is Christine P.

Christine is an amazing scrapper and card maker! Check out her blog.
Here is one of her creations with the Scarlet kit:




Michele created this beautiful layout:

She took the Prima Felt Gate and cut it in half horizontally to mimic the lines of the ship. And that brown cardstock background ... that is actually the packaging that the felt gate came in!



Emelyn made this lovely layout:




You see the brown punched out swirl in the upper left corner?! That is the packaging from the Lollipop Flowers! It turns out that Michele also used the swirl in her layout! Michele and Em found really creative ways to recycle the packaging!

2 MORE BEFORE SATURDAY

Here are two more quick peeks at the March kit.
