The 12 Kits of Occasions: November 2014



Happy end of November.  I hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving (or good weekend).  We hosted Thanksgiving at our house for the first time in several years, and most of my family came to town to see us.  It was a lot of fun, but also a lot of work. 

Our hostess this month is Kim, and her kit is all about Santa and Christmas. She sent such a fabulous assortment of stamps, die cuts, papers and embellishments.  Most of the stuff Kim sent was things I didn't have, so they were especially fun to play with.  Lots of retro santa goodies.  I dug right in to her kit as soon as it arrived earlier in the month, because I wanted to send the cards I made to the Caring Hearts Drive.  I just saw that they have received 9000 cards.  Wow.  Here is a picture of Kim's kit.

I made 6 cards from my kit, and still have so many leftovers.  Can you believe that I did not even get a chance to use that cute owl?  That one will be the first leftover I use.

I'll start with my favorite card of the bunch.








That's all for me today.  I cannot wait to see what everyone else made with their kits.  Thanks so much, Kim, for sending such a wonderful kit.  Please click here if you would like to see a supply list.  And, you can click here to see our 12 kits blog post.

Now, you can hop on over to the other designers in the group to see what they did with their kits.

    Wow..you really went to town with your kit. I love all of your beautiful cards and how you used those sweet Santa's, so magical. I do have to say I am very surprised that you did not use that cute little owl...wonder what you have planned for him??? Sounds like you had a wonderful time with your family too, enjoy your quiet weekend.

    That bunny with the patterned hills IS so adorable, Joyce! I also love the red embossed Santa with the sentiment on the banner (glad I still have both of those from my kit!!). Your sweet Santa face is perfect with the vintage looking patterned paper you chose!

    Oh so cute. I like the old time Santa. Is that the Coke image? We had no rain but friends in Murrieta and Orange county did.

    Beautiful job with Kim's kit, Joyce! I love your patterned hills too--such a wonderful scene for the bunny. Kim's Santa images were just fabulous and so easy to use. I especially love how you placed that one vintage image in a circle. That shows him off so well!
