My Crafty Weekend
Guest Designer...12 Kits of Occasions
Hello friends. I am a lucky girl today, because I was invited to join my friends at The 12 Kits of Occasions as their Guest Designer this month. Tracey is our hostess, and when she invited me to join in on the fun, I was so excited. Way back in the day, I was one of the original members of this group, but left a few years ago when life just got a little too busy to participate every month.
Take a look at the kit Tracey sent. Her theme was 'BIRTHDAY'.
The first two card were made with supplies from The Greetery. It was especially fun to play with the colorful pinwheels.

My Crafty Weekend
Hello and happy Sunday. I've been crafty again, so let's get right to it.
First up is this very fun birthday card, inspired by the sketch at MFT Sketch Challenge #525. I used hippos and birds from MFT Happy Hippos and another bird from Birthday Bear & Friends. I am also entering this card at CAS on Friday #197: Animals, Use Your Stuff #414: Out with the Old (I've had these animal birthday sets from MFT for a long time, and still love them), and Seize the Birthday #206 (no twist). Because I think this card would be perfect for a little boy, I am entering it at the Male Room #146: Animals and WWC305: Anything Goes Masculine Twist.
I don't know how it happened, but I have run out of new home cards. I made a matching pair, inspired by a design I used years ago. This first card will be headed to my niece tomorrow.
This card is almost exactly the same, except for the blended background and placement of clouds.
I will be entering both of these cards at Use Your Stuff #414: Out with the Old (I used an old die called Home Scape from Sugar Pea) and Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Make Your Own Background.
My next card is another for my stash of new home cards. I was inspired by the challenge at Less is More #435: In a Row to pull out a new-to-me Scene It More from Clearly Besotted.
I was so excited to see the new challenge at Festive Friday #0076: Chinese New Year. I had the perfect stamp set from Mama Elephant Ni Hao. My younger daughter was supposed to be in Shanghai this semester, but it was canceled by covid. I will still give her this card, and we will celebrate Chines New Year here in California. The elements of the challenge I used on my card are red, gold and dragon.
I made 2 versions of the card, as I could not decide which parts should be red or white.
I am also entering these cards at WWC305: Anything Goes Masculine Twist.
I had so much fun playing with my newest stamps from Newton's Nook, Paw-some Birthday. I used the colors from Inky Paws Challenge #140 and the sketch from The Paper Players #525.
I am also entering this card at Seize the Birthday #206 (no twist), and because I think this card would be perfect for a little boy, I am entering it at the Male Room #146: Animals and WWC305: Anything Goes Masculine Twist.
Switching gears for a moment, I have a few holiday cards to post. I am entering both of these holiday cards at the new MFT Slimline Challenge, because I used MFT Delightful Deer dies. I am also entering these cards at Addicted to Stamps and More #397: Christmas and Retro Rubber #150: Winter Wonderland (my sentiment stamp is at least 1 year old, and the deer and birds are several years old).
