12 Kits of Occasions: June '18: Sum sum Summertime!


Hi everyone! The last day of the month means 12 Kits of Occasions!


We're 12 friends who receive the same kit each month and make wondrous
creations from all the goodies! Well, cute projects anyway...
 I made some fun cards with the kit sent from Michele Ferguson (I card everyone).
It's always a treat to see what bits of Michele humor she tucks into her kit!
Most of the images I hadn't seen before. If you know Michele, you know
she's creative, innovative and full of humor! Love her!


My first card uses the images from Waffle Flower Crafts (new to me) and I'm 
crazy about the free hand cas drawing that allows me to color.
note: At this posting, I'm visiting a daughter and her family in Newport Beach, CA,
and have to giggle at the joy in happily shedding clothes in summer...
Hooray for beach life!
Had to make a tri-fold card to get all 3 boys in the picture.


MFT's Strike up the Band bunnies are celebrating the 4th with CAS-ual Friday's sentiment.
PTI Tagsale 12. 


I have this card pegged for a graduate. Colored with my Pentels.


She's off to wherever the wind takes her in this colorful, floral sundress.

Beach bag textured with PTI's BG Basics: Gingham. Flowers also from PTI:
Back Pocket Basics


These letters and the word 'beach' (I told you she's a hoot) on a stenciled bg from PTI's Sun & Surf

Well that's June's post from me folks. Hope you enjoyed, and hope you'll visit 
the other friends. You're sure to find a touch of 'Michele' whimsy in every card!

12 Kits of Occasions June '17


Hi and welcome to 12 Kits of Occasions June '17!
We're celebrating the fabulous Michele Ferguson, from I Card Everyone,
this month. She's put together a manly kit for us, 
called: 'It's a Guy Thing'
Lots of fun images, masculine colors and sassy sayings!


Leading off with a WOW of a sentiment from Avery Elle.
PTI Watercolor Wonders stampset, PPP tag & Cricut EF.


GA'ed the avocado pit to pop it up, then embossed it with 
Ranger's gold Embossing Tinsel.


I was so glad to see these MFT Seaside Seagulls in the kit!
Love them to bits!
Paired with MFT's sun and Lil' Inkers frames.


With 6 grandsons, this card will surely come in handy!
Poppy Stamps Happy Birthday Background die.


All these sentiments were in the kit. Also the shaker and window card stock.


Love this 'Thanks' die, and think it's perfect for guy or gal.


A better look at the 'Hinged Thanks' from Essentials by Ellen.


Among the treasures Michele included in the kit, was 3 dragonflies perfectly 
embossed, and ready to be popped onto a card front. 
With a few tweaks to the image (Nuvo copper glitter & Stickles Mercury Glass)
I did my favorite card!
MFT: Wonky Stitched Rectangles, PPP sequins.
PTI Melon Berry Cardstock & Pattern cardstock.

Michele invited Bobby Hogan, (Bits & Pieces), to be our guest this month,
Be sure and visit her blog and give her some love.
Can't wait to see what the teamies did with this fabulous kit!

Hugs, Michele!
Lots left over to play with later!
