The 12 Kits of Occasions: December, 2015



It's time for our December12 Kits of Occasions post.  I cannot believe how quickly this year has gone by.  This month, Lindsey is our hostess, and she sent a wonderful and enormous kit, filled with cute and fun supplies, and a very non-traditional color scheme.  Her theme is 'Walking in a Winter Wonderland", and I had so much fun playing with everything in the kit.  Of course, I have lots of leftovers as well.  I can't wait to see what everyone else did with their supplies so I can CASE them with my leftovers.

Here is a peek at the kit Lindsey sent out.

I'll get right to my cards now...













I used so many of the cute images in this kit, but still have so much left over.  My biggest regret is not finding a home for the adorable leaping reindeer--he will be the first to be used during leftovers month.  Thanks so much, Lindsey, for sending such a wonderful kit.

That's it for me today.  Please visit us over at the 12 Kits of Occasions blog, where you can see a list of all the other designers and click over to their blogs.  You can also see the two lucky gals who Lindsey invited to Guest Design with us this month.



Thanks for Visiting

    An array of amazing cards, Joyce; festive and fun! I see a few Clearly Besotted images in the mix, some of which are in my collection. You've sparked new ideas for how I might use them! Love the delights you've showcased here! Happy New Year, my friend!

    Hi Joyce! Happy New Year! I didn't use that leaping reindeer either. I kept seeing him flying over the houses.. but never got around to it. I love your snowy village scene and the pretty wreath. I didn't know the little circles were ornaments for the wreath so I turned them into snowflakes! I found the PTI stamp set on line a litte bit later LOL! I love all the contrast in your cards especially the dark circle frame on the last with the birds in the woods! Wonderful!

    What a gorgeous collection, Joyce ... such a sweet little village, cool wreath and frosty woodland scene! Love how you coloured the snowflake border ... such a cool, crisp contemporary look ... fabulous! My leaping reindeer also needs a home ... haven't find him one to suit yet! Wishing you a Happy New Year, my friend! Hugs, Anita :)

    LOve you use of the fabulous birds, Joyce ...but my favorite has to be the little night-time neighborhood you've created with the houses! Leftover? Oh yes, I have a few! Was it cheating using the reindeer for my pre-12 Kits Christmas card? I couldn't resist! xx

    You do houses best, Joyce! Always the perfect 'lineup'! Lovely wreath and love the embossed bg, striking black snowflakes and beautiful frame for your pink and purple birds. Looks like such a fun kit to play with!

    Joyce, I'm in love. These are wonderful and oh-so-CASEable. I'm chuckling to myself that I never once thought to use the snowflake confetti to as snow falling from the sky. It looks so fantastic on your card. Your wreath card is gorgeous...love the fun detail of the pearl for the dot on the "j". The birds look perfect perched in the little scene of trees you created. Oh, these are all so fun! The reindeer is one of my favorites, too, and I had a similar thought...how did I not use him? Oh, it has been so fun to see how you've used my kit! Wishing you a new year full of much joy and laughter and love!

    Love every one of these gorgeous designs! The wonderful town scene with the whimsical snowflakes is so sweet. And your touch of embossing is so pretty with the wreath. You did an awesome job with Lindsey's kit! I'm definitely planning some CASEing!

    Awww, Joyce what a sweet little Christmas/winter scene you created with the houses and the falling snow :) Also I'm loving that neat embossed background on the joy/wreath card! The sparkle paper looks beautiful sticking out of the side.
