12 Kits of Occasions: September Friends and Food

Hi everyone! It's the end of September and time for the 12 Kits' post. 

This month our hostess is Kim Heggins,  (Cupcakes, Cards and Kim) and she's sent us

a kit full of Friends and Food! What could be more fun!

Leading off with some sprinkles, and a joy filled box of sweets!

Kim included this sentiment, I added die cuts and an ampersand heart. So much

fun to dress up in pink!

I haven't tried avocado toast, but hear it's all the rage. Lots of 'pop ups' with foam

and added to a Greetery frame.

\

Truth is, to own this coppery mixer, complete with all it's attachments,

 is a dream of mine. Baking is one of my passions, and I would love a mixer

that kneeds the dough for me.

Adding a closeup of the mixer, painted with metallics:

And a photo of my 'vintage' mixer:

50 years with this 'old gal'. Still works great.  A wedding present from my hubby's 

aunt when we got married 50 years ago in march! So many delicious memories 

within this bowl! Ah, but I can still dream each time I pass a Williams Sonoma

window with those shiny new mixers in every color under the rainbow!

Can't wait to see what my teammies did with their kits, especially the mixer!

Thanks for the visit, and thank you for your comments. Love reading each one.

12 Kits of Occasions: June 'Summer Fun'

Is it really June 30th? Half the year gone! Well, it's time to celebrate summer.

And our sweet friend Birgit Norton has a summer kit to kick off all things Fun

 in the Sun!

Just a quick note: if you fall in love with anything you see, we have a 

supplies list on the 12 Kits Blog.

OK, let's celebrate summer!

This sweet cutie is enjoying her day at the beach.

The papers Birgit included inspired every card!

Loved coloring this bird with copies.

Also colored this duo with copics.

Talk about tropical flair... love this set from PTI.

Seriously live in flip flops ALL summer!

Had to turn one of the sentiment cards into a shaker, topped with these slices

of watermelon, included in the kit.

6 cards and still more to play with later.

A big thank you to Birgit for an over the top summer kit, And to

our favorite composer of arranging our kit photo, Lindsey, as always

thank you!

Hope you enjoyed our summer kit, and hope you visit all the 

designers and give them some love.

Thanks for the visit!

12 Kits of Occasions: May~ June Celebrations

It's 12 Kits time, and this month we feature all the celebrations of June

courtesy Tracey McNeely. Tracey sent us a whole host of images for

dads, grads, teachers, and those we want to thank.

I'm starting off with this Father's Day card for my hubs,

The reveal wheel says it all. As you turn the wheel, a new sentiment is revealed.

Next up, a card for a teacher.

My grandson will give this to his teacher. I love the sentiment!

Tracey included this Gerbera Daisy, I colored with copics. 

Another Thank you card built around the letters that spell 'thanks'. The Concord & 9th

feathers border a panel that is a C9 turnabout I had in my stash.

And one more card celebrating a child's graduation.

Hope you're ready for summer, and summer's special celebrations. And

hope you found some inspiration today.

Lots more on the other 12 Kits blogs!

Thank you, Tracey! Loved every bit, especially all the fabulous plaid papers!

12 Kits of Occasions January '19 - Good Fortune

Hi and welcome to 12 Kits of Occasions! We're a blog hop featuring a 

different kit each month by a different kit member. This month we 

received an Asian theme by our friend Jeanne Jackna with bright happy

papers, sweet Asian dolls and a kimono, fortune cookies... well come have a 

look. I made six cards, and have wonderful images left over to do more.

Jeanne included this die kimono which I backed with one of dp she sent. I fussy cut the 

flowers from the leftovers and foam mounted it onto a watercolor I painted.

 (Jeanne even sent watercolor card stock to make it easy!)

Gave these dolls a setting on a Poppystamps leafy plate.

I gave this doll her own setting on a Hero Arts die cut shaker colored with Magicals.

Couldn't help but pair the Chinese take out with a designer sushi & chopsticks paper! 

Added a handle to the box with a piece of wire bent and shaped. 

PTI Shape Shifters Square: 2 cut from Berry Sorbet Cardstock

This cutie was colored with copics and I added the pattern on her kimono.

The gold screen was a piece cut from a PTI Bold Borders: Arabesque die.

Jeanne sent the temple die, and gold coin, along with the embossed bg card stock. 

I added a bit of magicals to the temple, and mounted it on Pink Cardstock.

You're in for a treat this month.

We are welcoming a new member, Kara Lynn Pogreba! Can't wait to see 

 what she does with the kit. 

And Jeanne has invited not one, but 3 guests! 

All supplies are listed on the 12 Kits' blog.

Thanks for the visit! 

Day 4 25 Days of Christmas Tags

Back with Day 4 of 25 Days of Christmas Tags.

Today Tracey's featuring Reverse Confetti, and I was

inspired by Jeanne Jackna's bright and colorful tag,

Jeanne's project are always standouts, lots of clear bright color, and 

unmatched layered design. 

Here's my tag, using Reverse Confetti's layered tag.

Stayed with Jeanne's pink and lilac inked bg, and added Essentials by Ellen's 

Laurel Wreath dies. PTI: Corner Adorner October bow.

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!
