The 12 Kits of Occasions: August 2013





Well, it's that time of the month again, and I am here to share some holiday cards with my 12 Kits of Occasions August post.  This month, Amy is our hostess, and our theme is Christmas.  Here is a picture of the kit Amy sent.




I just love the color scheme we had this month--very traditional and also rustic--with lots of brown and kraft thrown in with the red and green.














I am submitting my last project (the bookmark) to this week's CASology challenge--BOOK.


That's it for me.  A big thank you to Amy for assembling this month's festive kit.  Please head over to Amy's blog for a complete supply list.  And, don't forget to visit the other participants in our 12 Kits group:

Joyce (that's me)













 


Oh, one more thing--please check out our new blog--The 12 Kits of Occasions.  It is a great way to see everyone's favorite project and all the links to the other gals.  This month, Amy is providing a Verve Gift Certificate to one lucky commenter on this blog.  So, please head on over there and try for a chance to win.

 

 Thanks for Visiting

  24. Hi Joyce!!! Sorry it's taken me so long to visit for real....but it was way worth the wait because I got to see your beautiful projects again! (I took a peek when the posts went up) So my favorites are definitely the card with the variated sized banners with all the patterns......this is such a great layout and one that I use when I have several patterns I try to work into my project. But my FAVORITE, has to be the bookmark!!! I guess that die will have to go on my wishlist......at the TOP! Thanks for working your magic with my kit!
