It's the end of March, and that means it's group post time for The 12 Kits of Occasions. This month, Marybeth of Marybeth's Time for Paper is our host and the theme is Song of the South. Marybeth sent a huge kit filled with all sorts of fun stuff I did not have. I think that some of my favorite pieces were the really detailed stamped images that were so intricate I did not feel like I needed to color them (lazy me). Here is a picture of the kit Marybeth sent.
And now I'll get right to the cards, because there is a lot to see.
I just fell in love with this chef. (He sort of reminds me of my husband--tee hee).
Doesn't this strawberry look good enough to eat? I embossed it a few times with UTEE and it is so very glossy.
That's it for me this month. As usual, I ran out of time way before running out of supplies or ideas. A big THANK YOU to Marybeth for such an amazing kit. Even a city girl like me was able to create so many cards and have a great time doing so.
Please head over to our 12 Kits of Occasions blog to see a list of team members along with links to their blogs. You can also see this month's supply list as well as our special Guest Designer for March--here is a hint--she lives in the South and tried to resign from our group last month--and now she is already back as our guest. Jeanne has one extra kit for the month of May, and you can leave a comment on the 12 Kits of Occasions blog for a chance to win a kit and join us in May.
Thanks for Visiting
Oh Joyce, I love all your cards. I love the country feel, so warm and home-y. I was over at the main site and don't see how one signs up to join. This looks like so much fun!
ReplyDeleteThey're all fabulous...
ReplyDeletethat rooster is my favorite...
probably because I just loved him and he was the first thing I went for! :)
Yes indeed that Gentleman Rooster is a favorite cock-a-doodle-dude!!! Lazy? No way... he only needed a stage, and you've created a beauty for him! [though Sharron did a fab job of it] Love them all, Joyce!

ReplyDeleteHoly cow! I can't believe all the projects you made with this kit Joyce! Amazing! Never sure if I should comment on each one or just the things that pop out at me - like that shiny strawberry on the graph paper - and how you die cut the patterned paper on the second to the last - I love that the pattern paper is the whole face of the card, and the detailed die stitching.. or the little twine bow on the sunrise with the rooster. Great projects!
ReplyDeleteSqueee! I love this kit! Great stuff in it; I think it tops all the past ones. Your projects are just so fabulous! That shiny strawberry! That gingham behind that rooster! That rooster! That chef! Oh my! It is all so wonderful.
ReplyDeleteWow, Joyce ... what a fantastic selection of cards ... my particular faves this month are the dawn breaking rooster (I can so relate!) and that juicy, shiny strawberry ... so yummy! Anita :)
ReplyDeleteMiss Joyce...what a wonderful collection of country themed cards. I love everyone of them! Too hard to choose a favorite but I do love that sweet chubby chef, just so adorable and you really made him shine. You truly worked wonders with Marybeth's kit, Your shiny strawberry looks good enough to eat too, just so clever!
ReplyDeleteYou girls always amaze me with the variety of cards you do from the kits!! Love the rooster with the gingham!!
ReplyDeleteI really love all of the cards you created with your kit, Joyce! The gingham and polka dots with all these fun images are sheer perfection!
ReplyDeleteAll are so fantastic, Joyce! Love your framed rooster and that adorable chef design! Those images were favorites of mine too but I think we all really fell in love with the rooster. Your shiny strawberry looks wonderful, so yummy and sweet!
ReplyDeleteI am sooooooo jealous right now Joyce!! This kit has had me all over blog land today instead of doing my chores! I absolutely adore it and LOVE what you have done with it. LOVE your strawberry, LOVE your rooster, LOVE the hostess card too - that gorgeous dotty label die looks like a tray cloth in this context! So inspired! I can see why you girls went to town!
ReplyDeleteWonderful cards each and every one! I love the sweet hostess card with the dish towels! Such a sweet image! And oh that rooster card! Precious! So fun hopping around to see all the gorgeous creations with this kit!!!!
ReplyDeleteOh my, these are wonderful, Joyce! You used some elements I didn't see elsewhere, the towels are adorable! You must have had a ball addting your special touch to every detail! And yes, the strawberry does look good enough to eat!
ReplyDeleteHello Joyce! Looks like you have been very busy with Marybeth's kit...I love what yiu've done with all the country elements. I laughed when yiu said that big ole rooster reminded you of your husband...so funny! I see we were thinking alike that the images didnt need to be colored...my favorite kind of stamps. Hope everything is going good down there in San Diego!
ReplyDeleteJoyce I fell in love with your rooster card as soon as I saw it,love that you paired with the red gingham ! I love that card! Wow, I am happy you were able to make so many and I love each one. The glazed strawberry was such a great idea, yum! Another favorite is the Whats Cookin card! Great collection of cards!
ReplyDeleteI am loving these cards, the country feel to them is just amazing :)
ReplyDeleteWell what are the chances that we would create almost the identical card! Ha ha ha, great minds is all I can think! That 5th card with the three veggie signs is fantastic--brilliant design. Also the tea towels are fussy cut perfectly! You rocked the kit!
ReplyDeleteAll so pretty! I especially Like how you heat embossed the strawberry! great touch!
ReplyDeleteJoyce, you did an INCREDIBLE job with this kit! Roosters were definitely meant to be paired with red gingham. I love your little chef card...even more so after reading how it reminds you of your husband...so fun. And I am wishing I hadn't used some of the supplies I did, so I could CASE even more of your cards.
