12 Kits of Occasions: September Lighthouses

Hi and welcome to 12 Kits of Occasions, September post. Between us, I 

couldn't be happier to see September pass on. Living with fires and smoke

has been the worst. Hoping for a cooler wet October!

Our hostess this month is Kim Higgings, from Cupcakes, Cards and Kim. She

has titled her kit, 'Lighthouses', and with a sea theme, many of the cutest cut

outs I've ever seen. Plenty of designer papers too! Want to see?

Above is a cute sentiment I couldn't pass up adding to my gull card.

The darling pirate in a barrel came in the kit. I set him a-sailing on SSS's Scallop Borders,

which I used on 3 of my 5 cards.

These 2 little critters are sailing on PTI's Coverplate: Waves.

Yoho! pirate is in front of MFT's porthole and next to Poppystamps' Whittle Palm.

I turned the porthole into a shaker. The waves inside are more of SSS Scallops.

And last is one of the lighthouses included in the kit. Copic colored, with some

Stickles on the rocks. 

Hope you enjoyed the post today, and don't forget to check out all

the designers for their version of the kit.

12 Kits of Occasions: September '18

Hello! And welcome to September's 12 Kits of Occasions!

A big BIG THANK YOU, Lindsey for our monthly kit photos!

Kim Higgins, from Cupcakes Cards and Kim, is our hostess this month, 

and she gave us all the above sea themed goodies.

Under and Over that is! If it swims or floats, it was in our package.

Kim has a guest this month, one of our own, Joyce Mehrberg.

Be sure to visit her, Joyce always wows with her creations!

Starting off with 2 mermaids and a shaker.

I so love MFT's Mermazing Mermaids! Had to give them a shaker to float on!

Those are Poppystamps' Mermaid sequins, and PTI's Pierced Oval frame.

The darling mermaid paper, and sentiment were in the kit.

Hard to see in the big photo, but there's a bit of Sheer Shimmer Spray on the mermaids.

Ellen Hudson's Otters are on VaCa, and sending all of you 'Oceans of Love'.

I LOVED coloring the images to suit the papers Kim sent us.

PTI Scallop Frame.

Just had to give baby otter his own setting, and use that adorable sentiment!

PTI Reef Builders & Pierced Rectangle Frame.

Fish and shells included in the kit.

Kim also included the blue enamel dots. Just perfect for bubbles!

My girl on a raft has been floating a bit longer than she should, and has quite the tan.

Where's her sunscreen?! Oh, I can remember using baby oil to accelerate tanning in

my 'younger' days. Who ever thought skin needed protection???

The scallop frame was the piece left over from PTI's Scallop die cut.

Girl, seriously, at least wear a sunhat!

That's it for me! A big happy thank you, Kim for a kit I loved!

Hope you enjoyed, and hope you'll visit each of the 12 Kits' gals!

And don't forget to say 'hi' to Joyce!

12 Kits of Occasions April '18

Hi friends! Welcome to 12 Kits' April post. This month's hostess is

Lisa Elton, from My Paper Tales, and what a sweety of a kit she gave us!

'My Little Chickadee' is the theme, with birds and feathers,  tweety sentiments,

and lots of gorgeous papers.

Are you settled in with a cuppa? Hope you enjoy my cards!

Lindsey included this stamped stem of flowers on kraft. Couldn't wait to pencil in the color.

PTI stencil dots on Aqua Mist cardstock.

Isn't he adorable? He's titled 'Choirboy', and he's from Past Time Stamps.

One of the most fun we friends have is combining elements in our kit. This Impression Obsession 

couple on the clothesline seemed perfectly matched to this sentiment!

PTI's Sunshine rays stencil.

All these elements were included in this month's kit, even those sweet little wood birds.

The twine is Lawn Fawn.

I cut a window in this pattern paper Lisa included, from PTI's Window Works die,

and fussy cut and copic colored the bird on the branch.

And finally this card, with a sentiment from Serendipity.

Hope you enjoyed the post today, I loved working with Lisa's kit,

and have plenty to do several more cards. Just the kind of kit I love!

Thank you Lisa!

Don't forget to visit the other kit designers. Always fun to see what they do with the same kit!

Hugs!
