12 Kits of Occasions - January 2017


Hi there!
The end of month means 12 Kits of Occasions and
this month it's all about LOVE!
Lindsey Larsen, sent us a wonderful kit full of gorgeous papers, 
die cuts, and stamped images most of which I didn't own, so it
was oohs and aaws as I went through my treasures. Fun, fresh and new!
Hope you have a beverage close by, there's a LOT to share.


I watercolored, pieced & placed this floral over 
PTI's Leaf and Sprigs Frame die I had left over from another project,
and added the 'love' die cut with a few of the coral sequins Lindsey gave us.
Tried to keep with Lindsey's color scheme while working with this kit.


I adored this white embossed stamped image Lindsey sent. 
It was so hard for me to use it! Truly, that's the hardest part of getting these
gorgeous kits, wanting to hoard it all!
Watercolored this one too. 


This unassembled box came in the kit that I paired with some of Lindsey's 
paper, and that adorable stamped tag & twine.


Just loved these pineapples, so paired them with 'love you' die cut.


With the seed beads Lindsey sent, made this shaker.


This cute critter I paired with 3 wood hearts I first GAed then copic colored red.


Loved coloring this cake so much, broke down and ordered it from 
Concord & 9th!
Awning die: PTI


And finally did this one with a certain special team member in mind.
Thank you Lindsey!
Loved every bit, & working on 3 more Valentines.
Just ran out of time to post them!
Lots to see from the other 11 Kits Teammies,
sadly saying goodby to Joyce, 
and hello to our newest member, Brigit Norton!
Also welcome 2 guests this month,
Kathy McCloskey from Bdlakebum,
and Leigh Penner from To the Full.
Can't wait to see what each one did with the same 
gorgeous corals and 'love'-ly goodies.

editing to add the fox card to Darnell's Nbus Challenge 10.
Can't NOT enter, think I've been in on every one of her challenges.
Never used the sweetie fox before, of any of the digital images from
Just ME Prints.

  4. Nancy, your artistic talents shine through in each and every card. Your watercoloring is brilliant and know what you mean about hoarding. I was afraid to ruin the florals, cake and critter by coloring with Zigs, watercolors or pencils. I need to practice! Now I want to shop for some of the supplies Lindsey provided. It was a blast joining your group this month!

  7. Goodness, Nancy, I love every one! You really did Lindsey proud with all these beauties. Your first card is so gorgeous and you watercolored the embossed one so well. I was afraid I was going to ruin mine so I still have it. Must be brave and give it a try! Fabulous design for your sweet fox and your chocolate cake looks absolutely yummy! I know what you mean about hoarding. So often, I'm tempted to do that too!!

  9. Nancy, I was just telling my husband last night how much you amaze me, and these cards are such a perfect illustration of why. Obviously I know exactly what was in your kit, but still I am in awe how you've taken those pieces and used them in the most fabulous ways on these gorgeous cards. Your coloring is gorgeous, your package wrap brilliant, and pink fox as cute as could be. I'm a bit partial to the last card, though. Thank you!! I love it, and still have it out, so I can look at it often. The sentiment reminds me of YOU!
