25 Days of Christmas {Day 8}

**ETA: This giveaway is now closed--winner will be announced at midnight**

I'm completely excited about today's sponsor...partly because she's my SISTER and partly because she just plain rocks!! Christy Tomlinson is personally responsible for getting me into scrapbooking, which essentially led me to this place in my life. Nearly 6 years ago, Christy organized a sister get-together where she brought her insanely large stash of scrapbooking stuff and we scrapped all weekend long. That did it for me...I was hooked. I loved the pretty papers. I loved the ribbons & buttons. I loved the inking and tearing. I loved arranging the photos. I loved every bit of it. And here I sit today...still scrapbooking (different tools) and now designing. And it's all Christy's fault. :)


Christy Tomlinson is the owner of Scarlet Lime Scrapbooking Kit Club & Scarlet Lime BeadArt. Christy works alongside her husband (and 6 children) to keep their business going, which is the only way she would have it because family is everything to her. Christy's sense of style and ability to mesh and combine different things to create a cohesive kit has made her business the success that it is. She is unique. And I love her to pieces.

Today, Christy is giving away a BeadArt package worth $50!!
Check out their offerings...
No 1. Vintage Line NeckArt; No 2. BeadArt Packs; No 3. TrinketArt; No 4. Dangle Line Neck Art

And just because I love you all so much (and because I didn't get this done in time for yesterday's post) I have a FREEBIE FOR YOU!!
