Lucky Me | Melissa Minor | March 2025 Color Kitz

 Hi crafty friends! Melissa Minor @cardsbymelissaminor here and I'm super excited to share a new layout with you. The March 2025 Color Kitz is one of my favorites! It's absolutely beautiful! I love all the bright colors. For my layout today I started by cutting apart one of the patterned papers into color strips. Then I distressed all the edges and cut down to 1x6 inch strips.

I adhered the cut strips onto the center of a 12x12 piece of white mixed media cardstock. Then I pulled out all the paints that came in the kit. I painted Freshly Minted Inklingz onto the top and bottom of the green strip. I painted Peaches & Cream Shimmerz onto the ends of the peach strip. The Don't Citron Me Coloringz I painted along the bright green strip. My favorite paint in the kit this month is the Pink Stilettos Coloringz. I painted it onto the top and bottom of the pink strip. I painted Stay Posy-tive Shimmerz onto the ends of the purple paper strips. I also brought in the Daffodil Creameez from the March bonus bundle and painted along the yellow strips.

I added 1/2 inch strips of the colorful patterned paper to the tops and bottom of the layout. Next to that I layered a 1/4 inch strip of specialty holographic paper. I love how it adds that extra shine to my page. I used an alphabet die from my stash to cut my title Lucky Me. I painted the letters with Don't Citron Me Coloringz. After all I am documenting photos of me and my boyfriend Dale from last St Patrick's Day. 

I added some of the shamrock and horseshoe ephemera from the kit. I used the shamrock Dotz with some tangled thread behind it. I really like the way this page turned out. 

Don't forget! You can add my name Melissa Minor to the comments section of your Shimmerz Paints order to receive a FREE paint! 

Happy crafting,

Melissa Minor
