12 Kits of Occasions October '20: Fall Splendor

Hey everyone, thanks for visiting today. You're in for a treat! It's time for

the 12 Kits of Occasions October Hop.

Our hostess this month is Birgit Norton (@craftingwhileiwait), and she sent

the most delightful kit full of leaves and pumpkins, and gorgeous papers, called

Fall Splendor. Well just have a look...

These were a trio of stamped pumpkins I fussy cut and colored with copics. Then I 

mounted them onto a PTI leafy die cut I had in my stash. In the center is a

sentiment Birgit included in the kit.

The sweet apple basket came die cut and ready for red and green apples (also in the kit).

Don't you love the red truck and apple basket paper? Paired it with the Greetery's

Ship Lap dies, and blessed sentiment.

I wanted Birgit's gorgeous leaf die cut to shine, so paired it with a 

Spellbinders lacy die set. 

the orange background paper was the reverse side of one of the papers included in

the kit. Can you see the tiny dots? 

Love this sweet little pumpkin! The stitched leaves, papers and tag came together 

in a snap!

And finally, this stamped and die cut solo pumpkin was colored with copics,

and added to one of the gorgeous leafy designer papers. 

Thank you, Birgit! My autumn cards grew by 5, and even have some 

adorable die cuts and papers for more!

Be sure and see what the other disigners have done.

They're sure to surprise and delight. Can't wait to

see what they did with Birgit's kit!

12 Kits of Occasions August '18

Hi there! Welcome to August's 12 Kits post.

Our hostess this month is my dear friend, Birgit Norton from Crafting While I Wait,

and she blessed us all with fairies and mermaids and gnomes and...

well, just have a look

I have to lead with my favorite, already in the hands of a granddaughter, who 

didn't judge a hill while scootering down a bit too fast. 

One broken wrist later, and a trip to ER, she

has to wear a cast for 6 weeks! She's only 9, poor thing.

Birgit's sweet kit came in handy for 'mermaid kisses' from grandma.

PTI Reef Builders and Text & Texture: Ocean, Salt Air: Fauna

Wish you could see the sparkle on this winsome fairy. This also went to my little Noelle,

along with a Fairy cookbook. We love to bake when she comes for a visit.

Lots's of Lindy's Starburst Spray

Isn't she a hoot? A fairy struttin' her stuff! And a cupcake too!

Adore these MFT Magical Dragons, and gave them a royal setting.

I put one of the tiny fairies from the kit in the pumpkin coach, and renamed her 'Cinderella'.

A big Thank You Birgit, for a magical kit! Loved every bit, and boy did it come in

handy for a granddaughter with a wounded limb... and saved some 

to play with later! Hooray!

Don't dare miss the other designers, and Birgit brought in a guest too,

our friend Kara Lynn from Bright Hope Creations. Truly, Kara's coloring skills are 

magical! Can't wait to see what she did with the kit. And all my teammies too!
