The 12 Kits of Occasions: August, 2016


It's time for our August 12 Kits of Occasions post.  This month, Lisa is our hostess and her theme is 'Sweet Pea'.  She sent a wonderful package full of pretty papers, sequins, stamped images and die cuts.  This kit is so very special for one big reason--it features stamped images from the Sweet Pea stamp set that Lisa designed for Precious Remembrance.

I only got to play with this kit for a few days, as most of my August was spent on the road for one reason or another.  However, I was lucky enough to get the kit with the self assembling cards, and I found that before I knew it, I had already made 4 cards.

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 Lisa sent out.



Here are the cards I made this month:









I used so many of the elements in this kit, but still have so much left over.  Thanks so much, Lisa, 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 get information on how to participate in the two give aways we have for you this month.

We also have a guest designer this month, Greta, so please check out what she created with her Sweet Pea kit.



Thanks for Visiting

  18. Wonderful cards, love that minimal colour on the little girl and the circle cut from the dotty paper and the little flower in the circle. My I love them all, so wonderful.

  19. Ooo, Joyce, I just love how you have the green polka dot paper with the sweet pea peeking through the partial circle at the bottom, what a neat way to set up your card! And then the adorable MFT girl looking up at the hi sentiment was such a great idea, too cute! And you found the perfect way to showcase that beautiful doily paper by putting the sweet pea in the polaroid frame!

  21. JOYCE! I'm still around, loving every card you make, but again, in the 'land of disruption' when it comes to commenting. This cool, cloudy fall day is perfect for a gallery walk! Such a bevy of beauty showcased with the kit here! Delighted by the stunning simplicity of your designs and that sweet little pea pod? Oh my: smitten, indeed!
    Hugs~c
