I need the fabulous happy and bright colors in this kit. I am feeling as gray as the days have been here lately. The tile crew has totally wrecked the house and it looks like it will continue to be that way for another day or two. ugh! I'm ready to get my house back and create with some Scarlet Lime happiness.

I need it so bad...it is raining and pouring in TN today and just such a gloomy day. The colors are so nice and bright they just cheer you up.
Posted by: Delisa | May 01, 2009 at 09:12 AM
Pretty please with a cherry on top (that is if you like cherries!) I would LOVE this kit and you could certainly feel free to send it to my doorstep where I would be waiting anxiously. My mother might say I NEED it like I NEED a hole in the head, but then after watching your nose piercing video, I might just get another hole in my head too! ;)
Good luck at INSPIRED. Looks like you will have a TON of fun - I love the pendant and rings- OMG are they ever CUTE!
Posted by: Laura | May 01, 2009 at 09:13 AM
What a great kit! The colors are gorgeous and ready for all the spring pics I've been taking!
Posted by: Laura L | May 01, 2009 at 09:13 AM
I would totally love to win this kit. I was so close to joining Scarlet Lime as a subscriber but have to wait until next month...since I am moving overseas, I am hoping to stock up on product that I am sure will be hard to find in the future!
Posted by: Kate | May 01, 2009 at 09:14 AM
What a bright and happy kit! Pick me and I'll save you the trouble of mailing---just deliver @Inspired next week! :-)

SICK
"I cannot go to my crop today,"
Said little Holly S McKay,
"I have the measles and the mumps,
A gash, a rash, and purple bumps.
My mouth is wet, my throat is dry,
I'm going blind in my right eye.
My tonsils are as big as rocks,
I've counted sixteen chicken pox
And there's one more--that's seventeen,
And don't you think my face looks green?
My leg is cut, my eyes are blue--
It might be instamatic flu.
I cough and sneeze and gasp and choke,
I'm sure that my left leg is broke--
My hip hurts when I move my chin,
My belly button's caving in,
My back is wrenched, my ankle's sprained,
My 'pendix pains each time it rains.
My nose is cold, my toes are numb,
I have a sliver in my thumb.
My neck is stiff, my voice is weak,
I hardly whisper when I speak.
My tongue is filling up my mouth,
I think my hair is falling out.
My elbow's bent, my spine ain't straight,
My temperature is one-o-eight.
My brain is shrunk, I cannot hear,
There is a hole inside my ear.
I have a hangnail, and my heart is--what?
What's that? What's that you say?
You say today is---Saturday?
G'bye, I'm going out to play!"
~Shel Silverstein~ (some parts changed by me)

Posted by: Judi D | May 01, 2009 at 09:39 AM
Yes I really need this."why you ask?". I sigh, and slowly begin to explain...I am a digital scrapbooker with lots of Kits in my computer. Lowering my eyes, I continue.. I have never purchased a non-digital kit. Oh, I have purchased paper and some embellishments, admittedly ON SALE. Then gently looking to the right, I have secretly wanted to make one of those dimensional books. This one is so pretty. I guess if I won I would have to take a video class to utilize it--yes, I really do need this!
Posted by: Michelle Giaimo | May 01, 2009 at 09:40 AM
I need this because I agreed to scrap a 6-week Hawaii backpacking trip for a friend of mine as a anniversary present to his wife. I don't know what I was thinking? But this kit could totally help me out.
Posted by: Sarah | May 01, 2009 at 09:40 AM
oh my, i really DO need it, those colors and patterns make my heart smile! which i really need since we just got through round TWO of stomach flu at my house! what's up with that? nothing worse than having a kid w/stuff coming out both ends except 3 kids with stuff coming out both ends!
Posted by: tammy b | May 01, 2009 at 09:41 AM
oh what a fun kit! I need to win it.... 'cuz um well it's not like I don't have any paper, got lots of that. And I have compiled quite a stash of stuff, but those blue blings are very fun. So I guess the best reason is I've never won anything on your blog!
