About Us

Well where do I begin?

I have been paper crafting and scrapbooking for over 10 years and still love it today! I had the great opportunity to work for Chatterbox as their Educational and Marketing Director for 3 years and then left to pursue other adventures in my life (including being a stay at home mom to my 6 kids and wife to hubby Ben. When I left Chatterbox, I started a new adventure working for Making Memories as a book and project designer, and also accepted a position as a Contributing Editor for Scrapbooks Etc, Better Homes and Gardens Magazine. In the Fall of 2007, with the encouragement of my husband, I decided to venture out on my own and start Scarlet Lime. Over the course of a year, Scarlet Lime grew much more than we expected and now that is what we both do full time. We love our job!

So why the new adventure? Well, when I left my job at Chatterbox in 2006, I also started designing and teaching classes at events throughout the world. While I truly enjoy teaching, I loved creating and putting the classes and concepts together even more. Creating "art" as you will -- seeing papers and products from different companies come together to form an eclectic project. I also enjoyed finding and using different mediums from non scrapbooking companies in my projects and pages. I enjoyed it so much that I decided to take that hobby and turn it into a monthly kit club, where hopefully others could enjoy it too.

And why the name Scarlet Lime? Well to be honest, it's simple. My favorite color is and always has been red, scarlet red, and lime flavored anything is my absolutely my favorite treat. The idea behind the kit club was to bring together all sort of patterns, textures, and styles; mix modern with vintage, funky with chic. So Scarlet and Lime, two things you normally wouldn't put together,( but two things I love), just seemed to be the perfect fit!

Well, I hope you enjoy our monthly kits, ad-ons, paper-crafting kits, and all the other fun things we have in store too! I would love to hear comments or suggestions you may have (good or bad.. I can take it, I have 6 kids remember?). So please feel free to e-mail me ANYTIME at christy@scarletlime.com

Hugs to you all, happy crafting and have a fabulous day!
