Four-of-a-Kind (January 2014)

It is time for our quarterly Four of a Kind post--me, Cathy from Empty Nest Crafter, Kim from Cupcakes, Cards and Kim, and Renee from It's a Patchwork Life. 

Our hostess this month is none other than yours truly (me).  I put together a kit that celebrates winter and all things snowy.  It might be a strange choice, seeing as how I live in San Diego, but paper crafting is the only way I get to experience snow and winter most of the time.  Plus, I needed an excuse to buy Two Feet Deep when it came out last fall, so I decided to base my kit around that stamp set.  Here is a picture of the kit I sent out.

 I have quite a few pictures today, so I will get right to it.

The next few cards are some designs I have gotten in the habit of using to showcase the patterned papers from the kits.

Well, that's it for me.  I cannot wait to see what the other three did with my kit.  It is fun to put a kit together and send it out, but it is also a bit worrisome, hoping that everyone will like it and have fun creating with it. 

Here is a link to my pinterest board where I pin everyone's Four-of-a-Kind creations.
