Four-of-a-Kind (January 2014)

It is time for our quarterly Four of a Kind post--me, Cathy from Empty Nest Crafter, Kim from Cupcakes, Cards and Kim, and Renee from It's a Patchwork Life. 

Our hostess this month is none other than yours truly (me).  I put together a kit that celebrates winter and all things snowy.  It might be a strange choice, seeing as how I live in San Diego, but paper crafting is the only way I get to experience snow and winter most of the time.  Plus, I needed an excuse to buy Two Feet Deep when it came out last fall, so I decided to base my kit around that stamp set.  Here is a picture of the kit I sent out.

 I have quite a few pictures today, so I will get right to it.

The next few cards are some designs I have gotten in the habit of using to showcase the patterned papers from the kits.

Well, that's it for me.  I cannot wait to see what the other three did with my kit.  It is fun to put a kit together and send it out, but it is also a bit worrisome, hoping that everyone will like it and have fun creating with it. 

Here is a link to my pinterest board where I pin everyone's Four-of-a-Kind creations.

ColourQ #214, Seize the Sketch #7 and CAS-ual Fridays 119.

Tracey's Birthday Linky Party is going on all week.  Everyone is invited to share in the fun.  If you are looking for Tracey's Birthday Linky Party, please click here.  

My first card today is for this week's ColourQ cQc #214.  I thought these colors would work well for a masculine birthday card, and I used my brand new Confetti Garland Borders stamps and dies to make a quick  CAS card.

I decided to stamp a little on the inside, too.

Off to Paris using City Scene with my card for Seize the Sketch STS #7 and CAS-ual Fridays CFC119:  Embossing.  I used some paper from Basic Grey Persimmon and embossed it with the Sunrise Impression plate.

I am also entering both of these cards into this week's Simon Says Wednesday Challenge:  Keep it Clean and Simple.
