The Scarlet Lime

Just a short update... and a sneak peek :)

Thanks everyone for all your e-mails and thanks to those who have already signed up for the October kit! Seriously it's going to be fun!!

I wanted to let you know that I will be without e-mail for most of the day tomorrow. We have been moving for nearly a week now (never move 6 houses down and around the corner.. it takes soo much longer! LOL).. anyhow, our Internet isn't set up at our new home yet and won't be until tomorrow afternoon and tonight is my last night in my office here. I have been putting off moving my office until the last possible minute but , we already moved over everything else this weekend... so i guess it's time to go (specially since the new owners move into this house in the morning!! :))

so just wanted to mention that so if I don't respond right away to your e-mail, i promise i am NOT ignoring you! LOL.. Hopefully it will be up and running tomorrow night. I ALSO wanted to show you all a small peek of what's in store for Octobers Kit. I am feeling so bad we sold out so quickly of the September kit's and I know many of you are already signing up for October, but what fun would it be if you didn't actually get to see something IN That kit? I am probably breaking ALL the kit club rules here.. by posting this so early.. but I am known to break rules.. ask my kids!

so enjoy the peek! This is just ONE of three exclusive Scarlet Lime Butterfly stamps that are in October's kit.... love butterflies...

and one last note! Even if you missed out on the September's kit, you can STILL get the exclusive stamps from our debut kit WITH your October kit subscription for a minimal cost. You just need to sign up for a subscription starting with the October kit BEFORE September 10th. Check out the Kits page of our website for more details. Plus don't forget we still have a few of the Papercrafting kits left. Scroll all the way down to the bottom of the kits page to see the papercrafting kit and all the fun goodies inside!

Well thanks for a fabulous week! have a great Thursday and see you all tomorrow night..

Hugs!
Christy

They are:

susan | August 26, 2007 at 07:49 PM 

emily (justem) | August 18, 2007 at 06:59 PM 

CONGRATS ladies!!!! E-mail me at christy@scarletlime.com and I will send you out some fun goodies!

Okay so tomorrow is the big day and I have to be honest and say I so dang nervous! Nervous that everyone will like what they see, nervous that the website will work without a hitch and nervous that I can get everything done between now and then! LOL..

So today I promised you a big sneak peek of the Debut kit: Well since during the entire week last week we showed you alot of little sneak peeks that are in the kit, today I thought I would show some peeks of the layouts the fabulous Artist Team did! They have done a great job show-casing the product in this kit and I can't wait to show you everything!

Before I leave you with those.. here is just a little bit of info to keep us all up to date (including me! LOL).

Debut: The kits will go live (for sale) August 28th (tomorrow) at 9:00 am MST. See you THERE!!

Grand Prize Winner: We will be announcing the GRAND PRIZE winner tomorrow on the blog. The winner will receive a three month subscription to the Scarlet Lime PLUS $100 worth of products!! If you are the winner and you have already purchased a 3 month subscription, you will be refunded your purchase! So no worries on that!  And remember EVERYONE can enter. So if you haven't entered already, you can do so by posting on the August 15th below!  Good luck to everyone! Now I just have to decide which one of my kids gets to pick out the lucky winner from the bowl!! LOL

So that's about it! If you are new to the site and haven't found everything you are looking for, you can find alot of information on the info page of our website. (info on when kits ship, international shipping, subscription policies, etc).

Thanks again for the HUGE support that we have gotten. My husband and I are seriously just blown away by how generous you all have been. I am truly excited for these kits, there are lots of fun things in there I don't think you will find anywhere else.. as well as products from all different kinds of manufactures.

Thanks again! Enjoy the following layout peeks from the wonderful artist team! ( I had to show you the full layout from Kelly Purkey down at the bottom.. because it features the vintage watering-can wall-paper that comes in the kit! Love it!!!).

hugs!
Christy

Saturday's winner and papercrafting kit peek!

Hey everyone! sorry it's so late in the morning! In the midst of football games, moving and getting band instruments this morning (and we even left the house at 7:30 am!!) we are just now getting back.

The winner for today's giveaway is....

Addie | August 16, 2007 at 11:09 AM

Addie! e-mail me! You are the winner of today's giveaway and today we are giving away some fun stamps from Making Memories and some other goodies from Scenic Route and CBX as well!


Soo.. here is our second "big" peek (only one more big peek day until the big debut!)... remember, we won't be posting tomorrow in observance of the Sabbath Day, but on Monday we will post TWO winners and the main kit big peek!  But today is our paper-crafting kit and I must say, while i love the other two kits, this is MY personal favorite. It's kinda of a three-in-one kit:  First you get instructions on how to make a really fun paper-crafting project which can either be a "garland" (see the peek at the right)   OR it can become a  super fun mini album, which you will see on debut day! (the album is my favorite!! )....OR you can simply purchase the kit to use for layouts or other personal projects. There is SO much stuff in this kit, that even if you do make the project, you still have over 3/4 of the papers and embellishments left to make other projects with! I also just love the warm colors... reminds me of fall. Here are a few peeks of the products in the kit.  Some fun exclusive mini note-cards from the Scarlet Lime and some YUMMY printed felt from TatteredTreasures Etsy shop!

Well I hope you all have a wonderful Saturday and a wonderful weekend. Thanks again for all the warm e-mails... I am soooo excited for the debut.. (it's only 3 days away!!!!).. see you Monday!

Christy

Friday's winner and Add-on kit Peeks!

First off, JUST got done picking the drawing the winner out of the lot and who did my son pick?? The LAST person who just posted this morning!! LOL.. what are the chances of that? Too funny...

today's winner is!!

asydin | August 24, 2007 at 03:19 AM

You have won some FUN brand new products from Autumn Leaves!! E-mail me with your address so I can get it out to you!

  Well I was thinking about what to show you of the Add-on kit (since there is SO much stuff in this kit!) and couldn't really couldn't decide!  Then I realized that I probably wouldn't be posting a sneak peek or a giveaway on Sunday in observance of the Sabbath and would just post that winner on Monday instead. THEN I also started thinking.. hey! that gives me only 3 more "peek" days until the big reveal and what better way to celebrate then to show you a "BIG" peek of each kit, until the big day on Tuesday (3 days, 3 kits, 3 BIG Peeks!) So today we are going to start with the Add-on kit (then Paper-crafting Kit tomorrow and The Debut kit on Monday).

Soooo... here we go! The Add-on kit is designed to coordinate with the Debut kit, but also have it's own little "twist".  This kit is called "let your words fly"- kinda of a journaling/wings theme.  It has some fun papers that go with the main kit, but just different enough to make them stand on their own! This kit is FULL of great embellishments to help you journal as well as fun "this and that" things to add some fun little details as well. It's also features the brand NEW 3-in-1 Self inking stamp from 7 Gypsies (3 stamps in ONE!!!) and some exclusive products from Scarlet Lime! Here are just a few peeks of what's in store for this kit (and it's only $26.50)!!  Enjoy the peek! (Love the winged rubons too!! YUM!)

Well remember, and I know I say this everyday.. but if you haven't signed up for our daily drawings you still can! Just post on the original thread below (august 15th date) and it will enter you into win. PLUS we are giving away a 3 month sub and a huge prize bag on the "big day".

Also those on the wait-list, I sent out e-mails yesterday so watch for those in your inbox!

For those of you that missed the wait-list (sorry it's now closed) NO worries, we set aside kits JUST for our debut day too, but be there early because all of the kits are limited.

I also forgot to mention WHAT TIME the debut kits will go live on the website for sale. We will be posting the kits for sale at 9:00 am MST on Debut day, Tuesday August 28th.

Well have a fabulous Friday! Hopefully we will see you here over the weekend!

But before I go...   I also wanted to say I have just TRULY been grateful and in awe from the huge amount of support from all of YOU. This is a big and kinda scary adventure for me and my family, but it wouldn't be possible without the fantastic community we have and the support from the WONDERFUL people here. SO THANK YOU. TRULY, THANK YOU!!!!

(see now I am getting teary-eyed.. .just love you gals!!)..

have a fabulous day!

Thursday's winner and more sneak peeks...

Good Thursday morning to everyone! It's almost Friday, why not celebrate a little bit early by giving away a PRIZE!!

I randomly picked a poster from the August 15th thread and the name that came out was.....

To all those on the wait-list: I sent out an e-mail just a few minutes ago with all the info you need. If you didn't get it and you sent me an e-mail, you might not be getting mine for some reason, so e-mail me again at christy@scarletlime.com and we will get you squared away!

Christy

Wednesdsay's winner and a unexpected surprise!

My kids are having fun helping pick the winners out each day!
Today's winner actually comes from the very first day we posted! She will win some fun goodies from Scenic Route and Autumn Leaves!

Lori | August 15, 2007 at 03:24 PM

Lori! Don't forget to e-mail me Christy@scarletlime.com to claim your prize! Also still waiting to hear back from LWell from yesterday :)

Okay, so I know yesterday I said I was going to post a sneak peek of the new paper-crafting kit, but to be just plain honest, I didn't have enough time to get the pictures done this morning! So, I am posting a different peek but one I think you will enjoy just as much! I am a little hesitant because it's more of a "reveal" than a peek! LOL.. but since I didn't get the other done, I feel like I need to make it up to you.  Soooooo..... here is  a digital picture of all the patterned papers that will be in the debut kit! (note: these images were taken from the manufacturers websites and are digital pictures of the papers, so not all the images are clear)... BUT   This kinda gives you an idea of our first months color scheme! I went with something that was totally "me". I love to combine papers from different companies with different "styles" on my pages. There are some fun vintage papers, some really graphic papers, some chic and some retro papers too!

Again: just a reminder that on the wait-list sign-ups, you can sign up until tonight at Midnight (read yesterday's post for more info). I sent out an e-mail yesterday to everyone who's names I have received so far, about info on the wait-list. If you didn't get an e-mail from me, first check your spam box and if it's not there,  it means for what every reason, I didn't get your e-mail, and please try e-mailing me again at waitinglist@scarletlime.com 

Also if you  haven't already, make sure you post on the August 15th thread below, to get entered to win in our giveaways and for the grand-prize!

So what's in store for tomorrow's sneak peek?  Something FUN i promise!!

have a fabulous day!

Christy

Tuesday's winner and the TSL's logo stamp!

So excited about today's winner! The winner of today's giveaway will receive some really fun brand new goodies from American Crafts and Making Memories!

The winner today is:

LWells | August 20, 2007 at 02:23 PM 

E-mail me and I will get your goodies on their way!

So today I promised you a sneak peek of the exclusive logo stamp that will be in the debut kit and like I said yesterday that means for those of you that purchase the debut kit (the MAIN monthly kit) you will received BOTH stamps.   The Scarlet Lime logo stamp, which comes IN the main kit, and also the "let's fly" stamp (which is a free gift to all those who purchase the main debut kit.)

Here is a picture of the TSL logo stamp used on a layout with some of the other TSL debut kit products! So fun! Love the scalloped edged of the stamp. Thanks again to my sister Leora, who designed my logo AND the stamp! She is so talented..seriously. She also designs digital products and has recently moved her products from Designer Digitals to new home (which she is announcing soon!). Read her blog for more details!

I also wanted to answer a few questions I saw posted in the threads below and in e-mails I received.

Question: Do you ship internationally: YES! I am happy to say we do offer international shipping! You can find all the rates and information on the "info" page of our website (scroll down toward the bottom), or follow the link here. 

Question: In order to get the debut kit, do I have to sign up to be on the waiting list: NO, the waiting list is just for those who want to ensure they get a kit before it goes live on 28th. There are a limited number of kits total and a certain number that I have reserved for the debut day.  So come next Tuesday you will also be able to view the full kit and purchase that kit (including our ad-on kit and paper-crafting kit), but once they are gone they are gone. If you want to make sure you get a debut kit (and don't have to be there when it goes live) you can send an e-mail to waitinglist@scarletlime.com to be added to the list. We are only accepting those until tomorrow night (Wednesday) at midnight and after that you have to wait until the debut day to purchase it. I hope this all makes sense. I am so bad sometimes at explaining things in writing, sorry. Sometimes I wish I had a professional writer to get my thoughts across (Courtney where are you! LOL). OH and for those of you that might have posted on the threads below that you want to be on the waiting list, you actually need to send me an e-mail confirming that, so I have an e-mail address to respond too. Sorry for the hassle! :).

Question: How do I get the "let's Fly" stamp: The let's fly stamp is a FREE gift to everyone who purchases the main monthly debut kit. Sorry but It does not come with the ad-on kit or the paper-crafting kit only the main kit.   

Well I think that's it for questions! If you have ANY more feel free to e-mail me. A lot of the basic info on the kits, shipping, policies, etc are on the info page of the website.

Tomorrow I am going to give you a sneak peek of the paper-crafting kit! It's a fun home decor project for the fall season (or you can just use the kit to create some fun fall layouts).. but watch out for that tomorrow and our Wednesday winner!

If you haven't signed up already, make sure you post on the August 15th thread below! It will get you entered to win a daily prize drawing and the grand prize of a 3 month subscription AND a $100 worth of products! SO FUN!

hugs to you all!

Christy

first giveaway and a sneak peek!

wow! ladies.. THANK YOU SO much for all the support on this huge adventure! I am just blown away by the kind words and the e-mails supporting this club. You all ROCK.. seriously!
I think we better give away our first prize!  The winner of this prize is going to get some fun goodies from Autumn Leaves and Heidi Swapp!

I randomly picked a poster from all those who commented and the winner is:

Melissa MacL. August 16th  7:21 Pm!

Congrats girl! Send me an e-mail with your addy and I will get that off Today!

okay! so more fun news about the kit club: Did I mention how excited I am! LOL..all of the boxes have been rolling in over the weekend and I have put putting samples together for the artist's team and for our first ever guest designer! (so stinkin' talented). Have to get those out today so they can start creating fabulous pages for you to be inspired by... and we can post some sneak peeks of those too!

I wanted to post a small peek of what's in store and since I didn't have time myself, to get any layouts done this weekend, I took a picture of just a few of the trims and finds that will be in the debut kit.  Oh! so excited to start playing with all the stuff.. but until then, here is a small sneak peek! (the journaling card and ribbon are more exclusives from TSL!)

I wanted to also say to all those who e-mailed me about the waiting list that I will be sending out an e-mail in a few days to give you the details on how to get the kit. I have gotten a much bigger response than I expected on the waiting list, so I am going to give a deadline of pre-sign ups until Wednesday night of this week... just so I can save some of the kits for our debut day! So if you want to make sure you get yours, you have until Wednesday to get on the list!

I also realized I hadn't given any information on the price of the kit! (for all those signing up to be on the waiting list): While the papercrafing kits and the ad-ons kits will vary each month in price, the main kit will be as follows each month:

for one time purchases: $36.50

for a 3 month subscription: $32.95 per month for three months

So for those who already are on the waiting list, if this causes any problems, PLEASE don't hesitated to e-mail me! Sorry that I just realized I hadn't posted that!

well I think that's it for day one of the fun!  Tomorrow I am going to post a sneak peek of the Exclusive Scarlet Lime logo stamp that is in our debut kit! (Yep you heard right, there are TWO exclusives stamps for our debut! fun huh?).

thanks again for all the support! YOU ALL ROCk and deserve to have a fabulous day!

oh and if you haven't signed up yet for our WEEK LONG giveaways, simply post on the debut post BELOW and you will be entered to win in our daily drawings and also our big giveaway on our debut day August 28th. (read the post below for all the details!)
