Cause it's summer

Summer time is here

Yes it's summer

Anyone here old enough to remember this song by the group War? I heard it on the radio this morning and it is so appropriate for today ... the 1st day of summer! Woo hoo!! It is such a cool, laid-back song, just perfect for cruising along the highway in your convertible!

OK, on to the July kits. We have for you for July two great old-fashioned summer treats. The first is "He Said/She Said".


The second is "Oh My, Cherry Pie!"


Here are two layouts by Emelyn, one from each kit.



As mentioned before, July will be our anniversary month and we have a lot of goodies planned for you! ;) Stay tuned! Happy Summer!

Sneak, Guest and more ...

Hello everyone!! Well, I have three things to tell you about today!

First off, the guest designer position at Color Me Miki has been revamped. It is now 3-months long. That means you get to see more from the talented people who so kindly agree to be my guest! I'd like to introduce you to the summer guest, Deb Famularo! I just love her style and flair! Deb has also been offered a position with a manufacturer, but she is not allowed to tell us anything yet! I can't wait to find out more!


Hi! My name is Deb Famularo. I am a stay at home mom with two wonderful kids and a husband who supports my need to create, which has been well over 10 years now! When I first started scrapbooking, I was bored with the small variety of embellishments out there. So I began gluing rhinestones and buttons on my pages, eventually leading to my small business of handmade creations called 'Button Kisses' which I sold on ebay and to a few scrapbooking stores. After that, I went on to sell premade scrapbook pages on ebay. Last year, I was honored to be one of ten semi-finalists in a national scrapbooking contest held by the Home Shopping Network. I recently was published for the very first time in Memory Makers. I spent the past year as a design team member for A Kiss on the Chic. Recently I signed a contract with a manufacturer which I can't disclose just yet, but it's my dream come true! I'm amazed at the wonderful people I continue to meet in this incredible world of crafting! It's definitely been a Blessing and I am so grateful!

Sparking Scrapbooks

There are two kits in July. Both kits were named by Michele, or rather, these were the first words out of her mouth when she saw them! ;) The first one is "Oh My, Cherry Pie". It's filled with goodies from Webster's Pages and Jenni Bowlin. This little sneak is from Deb ...


And the second one is "He said/She Said", a kit that will go with both boys and girls! Think of what happens when Sassafras Lass meets Cosmo Cricket ...


And the last bit of news today is that Erin Payne has agreed to stay on with Color Me Miki as our regular designer! HOORAY!!! For those of you that don't know Erin, she is the guest for June, and she is also on the My Little Shoebox design team!

Both of our June kits are now sold out ... THANK YOU everyone! There are more wonderful goodies to come in July, plus it's also our anniversary month so look out for some surprises to come starting June 30th at 7PM!!

Good Night!

THANK YOU MICHELE!!

I am sad to announce that Michele has decided to step down from her position on the Color Me Miki design team. June will be her last month on the team. Michele has been with us since the beginning and it just won't be the same without her! :( Her layouts and projects were always awesome and she has been a great source of inspiration. While we will all miss her, we totally support her decision and wish Michele the best!

You can still keep in touch with Michele through her blog and etsy store. And who knows, she may still pop up here at Color Me Miki every now and then! ;) Keeping my fingers crossed!

Check back in a few days for an announcement regarding the new design team!

Have a great week!

Coptic Stitch Class at Gee Gee's

I will be teaching my 4-needle coptic stitch class at Gee Gee's in Carlsbad on June 20th from 10:30-12:30.


If you missed this class the last time, here is one more chance to take it. This is a very versatile stitch, and what I really love about it is that your finished book will lay flat!

Call Gee Gee's at 760-729-1779 to sign up. Hope to see some of you there!
