The Blog at Lil Lamb's Boutique

A little eye candy!!

Honestly, I've been holding off buying Copic Markers. I'm just like you guys...wow, they seem expensive. But I caved, and I'm sooo happy. Just look at these colors...*drool*...

I'm gonna go play and I'll have some tutorials and ideas up soon.

And just a little sneaky peeky...look what Tammy sent me to play with! Hmmm...check back soon for some ideas to do with these beautiful kits!*...

Join me on the Prima Playground!

Isn't this a beautiful layout? This page was created by Donna Salazar from Prima Marketing for this month's Playground Project. They have put together a kit that includes instructions and most of the items needed to create this layout. All of the product used on this layout is from Prima's Winter release at CHA! Items included: Mommy & Me patterned paper, Flirty glittered patterned paper, Alter Ego chipboard, Bonnet Blooms, Petit Fleur vine, Festive Flower refills, and Build a Bauble gems. Items that are used in this layout that are not included in this kit: alcohol inks, black archival ink, miscellaneous collage stamps, glimmer mist, stickles, and glaze. These are available now but in limited supply!

I just received word that we will also be getting a shipment in from BasicGrey (yes, the new POTM kits will be included), Little Yellow Bicycle and Crate Paper! They should be in by the end of the week so keep your eyes open!

Our first challenge!

We are so excited to be having our first challenge over on our new facebook page! If you haven't made it over yet, jump on over and take a peek. The challenge is called "Out of the Box" and everyone that participates will be a winner on this one!

Basic Grey May/June POTM Sneak Peek!

As promised... the much awaited sneak peeks of the May and June layouts from the Basic Grey "All about me" Page of the month program! We are hoping to be shipping these in early May. If you are not already on the pre-order list and would like to be... give me a shout! It's filling up fast. I am sold out of Jan-March and only have one April left. If there is enough interest I will order more.... but I need to hear from you! Send me an email and let me know which months you need.

A Spring Has Sprung Giveaway!

This is my favorite time of the year... I just love the smell in the air...the first signs of daffodils and tulips....well, I pretty much love everything spring! So, I'd like to spread my springtime cheer.... how about a fresh spring giveaway?? Here is what I have in mind....

I'm sure most of you are familiar with facebook, right? We now have our very own page...but it's rather lonely after just having hatched today. Soooo..... here is the plan. Follow this link and become a fan of Lil' Lambs Boutique and introduce yourself on our "wall". On April 19th (the day I was hatched) we will choose one lucky fan and they will receive our Melissa Frances Fresh Twist KOTM!! Plus, all new fans will receive a coupon code for free shipping for our newly remodeled webstore which is very close to opening.

Now here is where it gets fun.... want more entries to win this fabulous kit?? Spread the word, but make sure you tell your friends that become fans to let us know that you referred them when they write on our wall. You will get one more entry for every person that gives you credit on our wall! So get out there and spread the word! And yes, we absolutely love our international customers and will be more than happy to mail the prize to you if you win!

Our plan is to use facebook to announce sales, promotions and all of our new arrivals. We will also be giving some great coupon codes that will only be available to our facebook fans.... so be the first to know and join today!

Here is a picture of the kit we will be giving away... isn't it lovely?

Enjoy this beautiful spring weather... rainy days and all!

Let's Talk Tags!

I love making little tags, especially if I don't have long to be creative. They are quick and satisfying! Tags have always been fun for me, and I especially love making them for gifts, or even for little cards, so I thought I would show you several I've made recently using the Spellbinders Dies! I know I've talked about these dies before, but they are definitely worth visiting again and again. Very versatile, and make tag making a SNAP!

You can see I have a theme with these: round tags, with a scalloped edge, definitely my favorite combination. Look closely though, you see that I have various combinations of circles and scallop shapes. You can make a very elaborate tag with lots of layers, or keep it fairly plain with one round and one scalloped.

Happy Tagging!
