Well, it's that time of the month again, and I am here to share some holiday cards with my 12 Kits of Occasions August post. This month, Amy is our hostess, and our theme is Christmas. Here is a picture of the kit Amy sent.
I just love the color scheme we had this month--very traditional and also rustic--with lots of brown and kraft thrown in with the red and green.
I am submitting my last project (the bookmark) to this week's CASology challenge--BOOK.
That's it for me. A big thank you to Amy for assembling this month's festive kit. Please head over to Amy's blog for a complete supply list. And, don't forget to visit the other participants in our 12 Kits group:
Joyce (that's me)

Wonderful cards, Joyce. And a very bright and happy bookmark...could double as a tag on a Christmas gift too... Great creations! Bev
ReplyDeleteThis kit did have a rustic feel to it. Beautiful work here. I love the banner card with the different patterned paper. I almost did a bookmark too. Love the green one you made and how nice to enter it in a challenge.
ReplyDeleteThese are classic beauties, Joyce! I especially love the happy CASlicious flag card!!
ReplyDeleteFabulous cards Joyce but that book mark is just amazing! I think I need to add that die to my wish list. Your second card with the banners is my favorite, so festive and fun, reminds me a mantel all decked out for Christmas!

ReplyDeleteOh, I loved the homespun, rustic feel of this month's supplies too. Weren't those papers great! Love your banners against the kraft and the bookmark was a fabulous idea!
ReplyDeleteWonderful cards Joyce. What really stands out for me is the way you mixed and matched the patterns and used bits and pieces to their full advantage - I even see Santa in one of the pennants!! I keep meaning to make a banner card - you've inspired me to get crackin!
ReplyDeleteLove this Christmas bookmark! I am in the Christmas spirit, and Halloween too!!

Oh I love double love the banner card with the stitched sentiment panel! So quaint and cozy, just my favorite style! The big banners are so great with the mix of patterns, TOO! Love the idea of a Christmas bookmark...like a tag that keeps on giving ;)!
ReplyDeleteGreat cards! I love the traditional colors in the kit. My favorite is the card with all the pennants.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! The second card with the banners is my favourite!
ReplyDeleteJoyce, I just love the classic simplicity of your designs! The second card with the wide banners is just fabulous--definitely my favorite. And what a great idea to make a bookmark! I agree with Kelly, it would make a great gift tag, too.
ReplyDeleteHi Joyce!!! Sorry it's taken me so long to visit for real....but it was way worth the wait because I got to see your beautiful projects again! (I took a peek when the posts went up) So my favorites are definitely the card with the variated sized banners with all the patterns......this is such a great layout and one that I use when I have several patterns I try to work into my project. But my FAVORITE, has to be the bookmark!!! I guess that die will have to go on my wishlist......at the TOP! Thanks for working your magic with my kit!
