Scarlet Lime February Projects . . . and a giveaway :)

Today I'm excited to share my Scarlet Lime projects with you. The February Main and Frugal FAB kits were loaded with tons of NEW product and embellishments. I really like the American Crafts and Pebbles papers.
This is the layout I featured on the SL blog yesterday. My post was the weekly challenge--make a project using circles. I love the simplicity of this layout. The focus is on the photos.

So happy a manufacturer is making the folded circles for me now :)

This photo was perfect with this kit. I loved how the colors matched with the papers so well.

Layering strips of patterned paper is really fun. And I LOVE the little alphas! My journaling is on the tag tucked behind the photo mat.

A two-pager. Still debating is something should go in that lower left corner. Left it for white-space. What do you think?

Me and my banners. :)  I thought about trying to lightly color in the popped up lanterns with colored pencils . . . but I'm not that brave.

This was actually the first layout I made with the kits. I've had these pictures printed out for at least a month waiting to be scrapped. The sentiment stickers and paper colors worked well with the story.

Love to stitch my journaling lines.
Be sure to check out the Scarlet Lime gallery for more inspirations. Also, the blog has fun stuff posted most weekdays.

Oh, and I think I'll do a giveaway today. Lots of lovely embellishments to share from my kits . . . so if you are interested just leave me a comment. I'll announce a winner on Thursday :)

Lovely layouts Mel! The little banners are so cute! They're really becoming popular! I've saved a few pics of banners I've seen online and should probably make one some day!:)

The family and stanley layouts are my favorites. I just LOVE the stitched lines for your journaling on the last one. :)

Great layouts, I love how you did the stitching underneath the journaling, cool trick!

Beautiful pages, Melanie! Love the little clouds on the first page! ;-)

The white space looks great as is. If you wanted to add something...maybe you could hang a lantern from the banner...kinda diagonal from your little chipboard flower...???

Almost finished with my HIP kit...just need to figure out what to do with my mini!
