I am a little late to the party, but am finally here with my post for our January 12 Kits of Occasions. Our host this month was Kelly and the theme was 'A Happy Hello'. Kelly sent a fabulous kit chock full of all sorts of goodies--just the sort of things that are perfect for those cards to send to a friend just because. Here is a picture of the kit Kelly sent.
I ran out of time way before I ran out of ideas or supplies. Here are the 5 cards I made so far.

| This one is a shaker card. |
You may remember that we had to say goodbye to Renee last month. Well, this month we are saying goodbye to Kara. They are both stepping back to spend more time with family, and I am hopeful that they will return at some point. Stay tuned for our February post, when we announce how we will be filling their shoes.
In other exciting news, we are running a little contest to select a guest designer for the month of February. The Theme is BIRDS and we would love to see what wonderful creations you would make with our next kit. Of course, there will be lots of bird related supplies. To enter our contest, please just leave a comment here on our 12 Kits Blog telling us if you have a favorite bird and whether you do anything special to attract birds to your home. The deadline for the random drawing will be February 4th and the winner will have their kit mailed ASAP.
Please head over to our 12 Kits Blog to see a full list of supplies as well as links to participating members and guests this month.
Thanks for Visiting
Love them all! But your last card with that over the top shaker, oh my, so creative and so fun. I can not wait to give this a try. Your first card is so stunning, love that deep blue with the pretty floral tag, so beautiful. And you coloring of the chicks and coffee cups, so cute.

ReplyDeleteLots of great ideas here Joyce ! I love the tag on that sapphire background - gosh is that striking or what?!! And the primary colors on the coffee cups, and cool shaker card with the bikes inside! You rocked this!
ReplyDeleteI usually try to be a bit original, but I cannot help it... Joyce - you had me at Hello!! Oh my gosh I just LOve those floral/berry embellishments with that fabulous blue! Speaking of blue... now I can tell you about one of my favorites, who visits annually and even brings the missus... the Indigo Bunting is worth a trip to Google land for... even better? The Cornell Lab of Ornithology website. I get pretty serious about our birds! Love every card, Joyce, right down to the plane... I'll pick you up at the airport!!
