Sketches and Mini-Books

Did you know that Em makes a sketch for us every month? You can see them all here.

Here is her sketch for April.




Michele make a "green" mini-book with the Prima packaging in the "Garden" Kit.


Isn't that so clever?! You can find instructions on how she made the book in the gallery. Both Michele and Em really rock the recycling, as was shown in the March layouts they did.

I made a little mini-album with the "Home" kit and the Cosmo Cricket Blackboard album. I also used the KI Memories Sheers as the cover and inside dividers. The Blackboard album and sheers are on sale this month also.

HOME and GARDEN

The two April kits, Home and Garden, are now up on the website, Color Me Miki.

"Home"


"Garden"


Both of these kits are filled all kinds of goodies from My Little Shoebox, Prima, American Crafts, and more!

This month's guest designer is Erin Yamabe.


I met Erin in January at CHA. We were talking and we discovered that there is like 6 degrees of separation between us! Not only were our families originally from this same area, but they have known each other for several generations. That was back when this area was nothing but farmland and barren hills. It's a small world! Erin is on the design team of My Little Shoebox, and that booth was jumping at CHA! Great products and funny girls! I am so honored that Erin agreed to design for Color Me Miki this month!

The design team gallery is a little late going up. But here are some of the layouts for April.

There is also a bunch of cool new stuff in the Miki-Mart ... Tim Holtz Grunge Paper, new mini-masks by Tim, new Glitz Stickles, and Maya Road Mists. I am also still uploading the Claudine Hellmuth Studio products into the Miki-Mart, but that should be up (along with the gallery) in an hour or so!

YAY CARRIE!

Carrie was one of our guest designers in October 2008. She created an awesome Halloween Project kit. Carrie was recently spotlighted on the Sassafras Lass blog! I don't know how it works, but if you put one of their blinkies on your blog, they randomly search out a blinkie on Fridays. Well, last Friday was Carrie's day! YAY CARRIE!!

Carrie also made a couple of cards with some of the items from the April "Home" kit.





Aren't they adorable!!

Thank you Carrie!

Kits will go on sale tomorrow evening!

I also want to share this layout from Candace:

She used the October 2008 Vintage Lass kit to create this wonderful layout! You can see more of Candace's work on her blog.

Two more days until the April Kit reveal! I have a feeling that they may sell out quickly, so don't delay this month! Also, California buyers, don't forget that sales tax goes up on April 1st! And that is not an April Fools Day joke! ;)
