Scarlet Lime May projects

I LOVE the May Scarlet Lime Main kit! It is full of bright colors.

Hmmm . . . I think I'm liking this two-page lined-up-photos-with-a-big-circle design. :)

Love the little pinkwheel stickers, too, from Basic Grey.

 I pleated the ribbon along the edge and sewed down the middle to hold the pleats.

This is one of my favorite ways to use ribbon.

 I used the rest of the wide ribbon to make a little rosette next to the journaling box.

To make the rosette, I baste stitched along one edge of the ribbon,

then just gathered it into a circle, tying the thread ends together.

When I saw the Glitz sticker sentiment "Our Life As We Know It",

I thought of this silly family photo.

 I layered a Sassafrass heart sticker on cardstock for the center of the

Sassafrass dimensional flower. I clustered that with the BG pinwheel,

the journaling box, and another Sassafrass sticker (the arrow).

The Frugal FAB kit has some beautiful papers in it! Loved the colors. I knew

right away I had to use the Glitz butterfly paper. I *heart* butterflies :)

 At first I wasn't sure about combining the bright WRMK label sticker

with the muted 7gypsies chip letters, but I think it worked out.

I added some butterflies--one was cut from the patterned paper,

the others were punched out with one of my Martha Stewart

butterfly punches (I won't tell you how many I have).

This last layout came together pretty quickly. I had actually cut out the star-bordered circle for another photo but then decided not to use that photo on a layout with this kit. Then I remembered I had wanted to scrap this photo of my boys on Easter with the kit.

 The title is stamped with the WRMK stamp in the kit. I added the 7gypsies clips behind the photo mat so they just look like squares, instead of showing the whole clip. And I had to add the Glitz butterfly stamp sticker--because it was a butterfly. See--you can use ribbon and butterflies on boy layouts :)
