12 Kits of Occasions: April

Let's Hear It For the Grad!

Welcome to April's 12 Kits of Occasions post!!!

We have a special kit from a special person, Kara Pogreba

I met Kara at a craft retreat last year and fell in love with her

talents and sweet personality!

Here's what I made with her kit

Leading off with a spinner. An AI Chair Spinner! 

Well, people our age have reasons to celebrate too!

Here's the back

So fun to color.

Next up, a couple of W+9 Going Places balloons

This one will go to a grandson graduating from pre-school this year.

Hard to see but touched up with a bit of Nuvo Moonstone Glimmer.

Those are Lawn Fawn cookies, and couldn't resist capping the elephant.

Kara gave us the tassel, and the great gold embossed sentiment. Easy to add the flat 

sequins and create a shaker.

The silhouettes were included. Every bit of this card was included. What a fun 

grad card!

This one says it all. Congrats!

Thanks to Kara for helping me get ready for graduation time. 6 cards and 

plenty left over. Hope you got some inspiration for the grads in your life.

All products are listed on our post page. Be sure and make the rounds and

give some love to my teammies. 

Have a great week! And thanks for the visit!

For the Graduate - April 2019

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'. 

PTI: Bold Borders: Foliage frame

Closeup of her sparkling coach and cast off glass slipper.

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!

12 Kits of Occasions: March - Many Thanks

Welcome to the March post for 12 Kits of Occasions!

Our hostess this month is Jessica Davis, and she gave us a kit 

full of whimsy and wonderful papers and a whole lot of thank you!

Talk about fun... well just have a look,

Leading off with my favorite, 

Those cute little owls took on attitude with coloring, and I just loved perching them on a 

shaker with one of Jessica's sentiments.

Jessica included a whole bunch of fabulous pattern paper I cut into strips to weave as a 

bg for my little Indian cub. I added a couple of arrows from Papertrey's You Have My Heart.

Another sentiment cut with an oval die, and PTI's Banner.

This little sweetie was inspired by one of my granddaughters Noelle.

She's never without a little buddy.

OK, confession time. I finished coloring my Concord & 9th unicorn, only to flub up tail.

Couldn't bear to toss it, so began adding bling, and more bling and yet MORE bling. 

I just know my little Noelle will think it's super special BECAUSE of all that bling!

Mama Elephant: Landscape Trio

Maybe should'a stopped at the glitter!

My last card is this sweet pair, and their appreciation, which is just what I wanted to 

end with, my appreciation for your visit! 

Thank You Jessica, loved every bit!

You're in for a treat with the other designers.

I got a sneak peek, and looks like we all had a blast with this kit! 

Happy Easter all!

12 Kits of Occasions March 2017

It's the last day of March, and that means time for 

12 Kits of Occasions!

The fabulous Jeanne Jackna from A Kept Life

sent us a kit that's Out of This World!

Stamps and dies and papers, oh my!

When Jeanne's up at 12 Kits, get ready. She is an 

amazingly talented designer, generous, and lovely,

inside and out!

Thank you, dear Jeanne, I had so much fun with so many

images. Each of 8 cards came so quickly, I had to force 

myself to quit! And so much left. But that's OK, 

lots to play with in the future!

1st up, a shaker!

GA-ed his helmet face, and there's lots of Wink of Stella.

Have A Blast features a rocket with glittery fire.

These 3 space guys are circling earth!

I just love this sentiment with the little green guy.

A Space Needle surrounded by stars.

Got to play with some Finetec Pearl paints for this card.

This spaceman is out for a ride on this sweet rocket!

And finally this space duo flying in to wish a happy birthday.

Thank you again, Jeanne, for a kit that was 'Out of This World!

We have some guest this month too, Richard Breaks, Janis Woolbright, Betty Keefe,

and Katie Mowery. Be sure to stop by and give them some love!
