This is my second post today. If you are looking for my Time Out Guest Designer post, please scroll down or click here.
Where did April go? I have no idea. But, as we say goodbye to April, it is time to reveal my creations for our monthly 12 Kits of Occasions. Our host this month is Tracey McNeely of In My Creative Opinion and her theme is 'Tickled Pink'. She sent us a beautiful kit, chock full of all sorts of pink goodness. I fell in love with every element of this kit, and before I knew it, I had created 7 cards.
Here is a picture of the kit Tracey sent to all of us.

I am going to get right to my cards.
I am entering this card at The Challenge #32 to use Polka Dots. I used some of the patterned paper Tracey sent to make my pink polka dotted clouds.
I used the sketch at Sweet Sunday Sketch #266 for this card.
I am entering this card at Simon Says Monday Anything Goes.
I am entering this card at AAA Cards #38: There's a Hole in My Card.
I am entering this card at Simon Says Wednesday Anything Goes.
I am entering this card at Make it Monday #210: Using Vellum to Soften Patterns.
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 Tracey for such an amazing kit. I loved everything about this kit, and it was so easy to work with.
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 April--here is a hint--she is 12 Kits alumni and we are so happy to welcome her back with us this month.
Thanks for Visiting

I love those dies you used for your AAA Cards challenge card, so glad you could join us.
ReplyDeleteI love all the bright Springtime colours! Thanks so much for playing along at AAA Cards! Jill
ReplyDeleteWonderful collection of cards Joyce. Love the bright pink of your AAA card, the oval aperture, and the beautiful flowers inside it. Thanks for playing along with us at AAA Cards. Be sure to stop by the AAA Cards blog tomorrow to join in our birthday celebration!
ReplyDeleteHi Joyce! Awesome cards! I don't know where all the time has gone either! I hope that you all are enjoying what is probably graduation time, but I also hope that you had an amazing Mother's Day! I have to say that I am in awe of how you colored the flowers of the (gladiola? I have no idea what kind of flower that is) but it's very artsy, in a way that watercolor can be, but not nearly as sloppy as watercolor to me. I love it! I love that with some simple brushstrokes you made such a huge effect. I also love the pink clouds on your first card!
ReplyDeleteJoyce, beautiful as always! I think the dolly card is my favorite. I love how so many of you paired the tall flowers with the doily, no surprise, its the perfect combination! Then I love the oval dies around the flowers, that really makes a statement and sets off the flowers perfectly. Loving the pink clouds on the first one, how unique! And the layout of the hello one is great!
ReplyDeleteI am such a kit fan! I love seeing what you make with your monthly kit. There is always so much creativity involved.
ReplyDeleteJoyce, you are amazing! Seriously, how do you create so many fabulous cards each month?! I had to giggle at the feather trio card. Boy, did we channel the same wave length or what? They are all fab, but I just adore how you inlaid the circle with the Sunday Sketch card, the pink card is gorgeous, and I love how the sentiment stretches across the card with the flower and doily...the whole card is just perfect.
