12 Kits August '17 Teacher's Pet


Hi Everyone! It's 12 Kits time!

The fabulous Lisa Elton from My Paper Tales, is our hostess this month at 12 Kits, 
and she gave us the most wonderful Back to School themed elements!
 I loved every bit, and made 6 cards, well, 
scratch that, 5 cards, and 1 milk carton. Take a look!


Loved reading to my kiddos when they were young, and now as a grandma, have read this precious book to all 11! When I saw this darling mouse holding a book, it reminded me of 
 'If You Give a Mouse a Cookie'. The kids love it, and can quote most of it!


This darling milk carton die was included in the kit, along with the heart washi tape, bunny,
and sign sentiment. 


Crafting a card from all these darling elements was so much fun! Don't you love the hand buttons?


It takes 2 photos to show you this card. With the flap closed...


And with the flap open, to reveal the shaker.


Love that PTI apple!


And finally, a sweet little mouse making a wish. GAed 'great job'
Oh my! I have so much yet to play with. Thank you, Lisa, for a wonderful kit!

Thank you so much for visiting. Hope you enjoyed what I did with the August kit.
Be sure and visit the other 12 Kits teammies. It always delights to see what all
do with the same elements.
And there's a special guest too. Judy Marino from Judy's Craft Corner.
Welcome, Judy!

  3. Oh my goodness I don't even know where to start Nancy! Like Jeanne said you took it to the next level! You got me with that very first card how creative to spell out 'read' and the cute little critter! That book was a favourite with my kids. Love how you used the milk carton and your school bus but then the shaker. How awesome! Have to keep going the last two so cute and love your colouring on everything!

  9. Oh, I adore your READ card! That is such a wonderful book too. I have purchased it several times! Your milk carton is so precious--love all the great details.

  11. Nancy... first of all: congrats on winning a prize at PTI this morning! YaY!
    You have created little masterpieces, my friend! I DO love those apple, and hand-shaped buttons - that's why I'm hoarding them! LOve every embossed, colored, and layered card, but that shaker has stolen my heart this month! xx

  12. Nancy, these are all just the cutest! I love that book, too, as do my children. I am with Michele, I love all your fabulous details, but your peek-a-boo shaker stole my heart, too. I thought the little window was adorable, but how much more fun to make it a shaker. One of my nieces is going to be really grateful I saw your idea. :)

  13. WOW! You clearly were enamoured with this kit,based on the array of joyful creations you've shared here! All are gems; especially smitten with the darling bunny on the milk carton! I'll be scouting out the kit ingredients for sure; perfect for making cards for my now-in-Grade 2 niece and starting-kindergarten nephew! Thank you for the smiles!
