12 Kits of Occasions April '17


Hello! And welcome to 12 Kits of Occasions: April post.
Our hostess this month is Sharron Gregory from On Papillon Wings,
and her kit is titled: Hello Friends.
I couldn't wait to dig into this kit, filled with sweet critters, 
darling dressed for rain kids, and papers and sentiments to match! 
Loved the theme, and love you, Sharron.
You hit my sweet spot with your joyous kit!

On to the cards!


I lead with a favorite, 2 Mama Elephant rain slicker tots sharing an umbrella.


This closeup shows some glossy accents on the umbrella
and the rain wear.


What would you do with a kitty just begging for color? 
I might have gone a bit overboard with the eye makeup, but she didn't complain...


Sharron was very generous with the PTI: Super Succulant pattern paper,
paired perfectly with the Spellbinders pots and succulents.


Honey Bunny just seemed to go with this sentiment!
Background was a PTI Ocean Tides card stock that I put through my emboss
machine with a Spellbinders folder, rolled with ink.
Memory Box Scribble Flower Circle.


Sharron sent along this cloud filled card stock.
 I couldn't resist putting it with this 
sweet pair I colored with pencils. can you see their fuzzy tails?


And finally, another favorite, was this birdhouse duo included in our kit, 
I left white,
and added it to a PTI scallop circle sponge inked, with 3 popped up 
Succulant Garden flowers, I just happened to have.
Otherwise Sharron's kit supplied me with more than 
enough wonders I hadn't seen before or had!
Plenty of cards on hand to send to friends is just what I needed.

Don't forget to check out the other 12 Kits Designers for more
card ideas. And so happy to see Marcia Hill as our Guest Designer this month!
Please go by and give her some love at Marcia Hill's time for Paper.

  1. Nancy I hope you're still celebrating ... these lovelies are certainly worth a celebration of their own! Cannot wait to go back to my own rain-kids to add glossiness to their rain gear - though I did do a little wet puddle! LOve them all, and you, too ... xx
