It is the end of September, and that means it is time for my 12 Kits of Occasions post. Our theme this month is Halloween and our hostess is Kim of Cupcakes, Cards and Kim. I know that Halloween is one of Kim's favorite holidays, and she has just about every supply under the sun. She sent us the most fabulous kit with so many goodies, I could have made several dozen cards. Here is a picture of the kit Kim sent. Isn't Kara's picture collage amazing?

I am going to jump right into my cards and projects, since there is a lot to see.
I love the sentiment on this card--around my house, it really is all about the candy. So, of course, I had to buy some candy to complete my last few projects:

That's it for me today. I have so many leftover supplies, and I know I will see lots of fun ways to use them when I see the posts from all the other members of 12 kits. Thank you so very much, Kim, for sending such an enormous and fabulous kit.
This month, I am sad because Jeanne is not with us. She is too busy with lots of other crafty commitments. You can still visit her blog here, where she will dazzle you with her incredible talent. I am happy, however, that one of our original members has found the time to return to us--Cathy from Empty Nest Crafter has rejoined our group. And, this month, we are fortunate to have a special guest--and I think I am going to make you head over to our 12 Kits of Occasions blog page to see who it is. Any guesses? Only Kim, our hostess, knows. You can also see a complete supply list on the 12 Kits of Occasions blog, by clicking on the Supplies tab on the upper right.
Please stop by our 12 Kits of Occasions blog page, and also visit all the other members of our 12 Kits of Occasions group.

Thanks for Visiting
Your cards and gift packages are so cute and festive! I love everything you made! So many wonderful supplies and it is fun seeing everyone's creations with them! :)
ReplyDeleteI know who the surprise guest is but I won't spoil it for your other visitors. I just came from there, where the cards are wonderful, just to be amazed by your creations. These kits are something else. You all are fortunate to have this little group. I will be sure and check out the rest of them.
ReplyDeleteYou seriously outdid yourself with the kit, Joyce! These are so marvelous!! It's been so fun to see all the ingredients IRL and then see how you all manage to create your own unique and stunning projects! I really love the jar and the lunchbox treats and the tin! Will you please be my mom?! Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteLots of fun projects to see here Joyce! Love the lunchbox notes , glad I have lots of leftovers to make some of those. Great Halloween cards . Love the candy jar tag and its all about the candy at our house too. I am going to have to take lessons from Kim on how to make a fun and easy kit.
ReplyDeleteI can not believe so many people thought to add a sentiment behind the O in Trick or Treat. What is wrong with me? I did not even think of that! Love what you have done...I really like how you cut out the sentiment and put it at the top of the Bingo card...another thing I would not have thought to do. That is what is so great about these kits...so many ideas that would never have occurred to me but are sure to be copied!
ReplyDeleteHi Joyce! I received an e-mail from Darnell showing this kit and I just wanted to let you know I think everything you made is great. Looks like a lot of fun and a lot of WORK.
ReplyDeleteWow Joyce! No surprise that you went all out this month, you are always so amazing :) I just love how you did several treat containers, the Wanda the Witch one is my favorite! I love the little mason jar, too :) The card with the cat and the word bubble is too cute. I love the embossed spider web you added to several cards, and the bucket card with the bingo card is really sweet. I just love them all, Joyce!
ReplyDeleteWonderful cards!! I love all of the sweet treat packaging too!! So much fun!!
ReplyDeleteOk, I'm in a state of utter admiration for what you've created with this month's kit, Joyce ... fabulous cards (I LOVE the silhouette one) and all those yummy treats ... especially mmm-mmm bat droppings! Anita :)
ReplyDeleteOh I love the embossed spider web card with the 2 treat containers and the bingo card, GREAT layout!! The chocolate treat boxes with the WMS are in my casing future, love how simple and sweet (literally) they are! Your Trick or Treat die cut is so bold paired with the cream paper and such clever additions of the candy sentiment and matching paper! Your black cat looks like it's standing in a spooky little parlor with spiders coming down the walls, eek! LOVE the "Trick or Treat" word bubble! Whimsical and spooky good fun on all of these amazing projects, Joyce!
ReplyDeleteJoyce they're all fabulous!!
ReplyDeleteThe graveyard scene...
and I'm lovin' that spiderweb impression!
But I'm gonna be honest here...
you got me with the chocolate! *giggle*
What fabulous decorated treats...
love them all! :)
Joyce, they are all so wonderful! That spider web embossing is so cool--love how you used it both in cream & black. Great idea to add the sentiment on your bingo card. And your trick or treat design with the candy is perfect. Love your fun treat containers too! This was such a fantastic kit. I'm so glad I have leftovers so I can CASE. I think I'll start with those little chocolate square holders!!
ReplyDeleteWow...Joyce you really outdid yourself with my kit. I love all your sweet little treat holders too, so many wonderful ideas that I will CASe with all my leftovers. Thank you for sharing your trick or treat card with me so I can CASe you, what a fabulous and sweet friend you are! My favorite card is your spider and card, you were so clever to use some bling for it's eye! I love those hanging spiders. But then I love that graveyard card with the bat keeping watch over the DB's (dead bodies). Joyce you truly rocked this kit!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun kit - the label of the jar is just too perfect LOL!
ReplyDeleteLook at all the fabulous things you made Joyce! I love the sentiment inside the trick or treat, the goodie packaging (trying not to get too distracted by the chocolate) and the layers on the spider web embossed card. I love them all!!
ReplyDeleteYou have been busy with the Halloween crafting. Your cards are all so beautiful. Can't even pick a favorite. I think you found a good excuse for buying all that candy. those projects are just darling.
ReplyDeleteJoyce you outdid yourself with the kit. All such amazing cards and projects. Love how you used the crow and how you fussy cut Halloween greeting for the bingo card. Cute treat packages. I think I will be trick or treating at your door!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, you made so many projects this month! They are all so cute! I'm especially smitten with the spider web embossing, the green dotted paper paired with the black cat, and the delicious-looking treat wrappers. So much to CASE!
