It's so hard to believe it is almost Christmas and I have already received 11 kits from the other members of our wonderful group. And you should see all the leftovers I have still available to play with! There has been so much variety and so many fabulous new products to try out. If you are just visiting for the first time, HERE is a link explaining about how we got started.
This month our hostess is Jeanne Jachna, A Kept Life. Jeanne makes really gorgeous cards, with lots of layers and oodles of awesome die cuts. Oh, and gorgeous bows too! The photo below just shows a hint of all the wonderful things she sent to each of us! Thank you so much, Jeanne. I loved your kit!

Special also this month is a drawing for some blog candy and a one-day discount sale at Serendipity Stamps in honor of this month's 12 Kits blog hop! Everything Christmas will be 20% off today only! See details about the blog candy below.
My first card may be my favorite. It would be hard to choose because I am also so in love with Santa and the plaid paper in my second card! But I made this one first and loved coloring the gorgeous poinsettia. Plus this die cut is so pretty. I used some Antique Linen Distress Ink to help show more of the detail.
Here's my second card! I absolutely love plaid and this Santa is another one of the great Serendipity stamps. They are super easy to color. I used Spellbinders Labels 1 to cut him out. I debated about adding a bow but decided to keep it simple and just use the ribbon to give the look of a wrapped gift.
Look at the fantastic ornament die that is available as blog candy! Serendipity Stamps is giving away the ornament die and stamp set to one lucky winner drawn from all the comments left on the 12 Kits blogs. I used the silver one but Jeanne sent red and gold too. Just imagine all the beautiful cards you could make!
This last card is using another one of the many die cuts I had to chose from. The detail on all of them is fabulous! I added a little Martha Stewart chunky glitter to the stamped scene.
Well, you will want to be on your way. Be sure to visit all the blogs and see what everyone has made. And don't forget about the blog candy!
Enjoy the hop! And hope to see you back next month when I will be the hostess for December!

Beautiful Sharron! I love the way you mixed the dies and the images - the last one looks so lacy - your poinsettia is gorgeous, the green one with the ornament is stunning too! You did lots of coloring this time and it looks amazing! SO pretty!!
Wonderful creations out of your kit Sharron, simple, fabulous and very impressive!
Sharron all of your cards are STUNNING! Love the way the poinsettia is overflowing out of that gorgeous die. We all seemed to pair the Santa with the plaid yours is wonderful the way you colored his hat. Love that Santa! Love the green card and the last one is just so peaceful! As always beautiful work Sharron. Hope you are doing well .
what a lovely assortment of pretty designs! how fun!
I would have sworn you had a die to cut out those poinsettias Sharron...they are perfect! I love all you have done here, so great to put the poinsettias within the circular die cut frame and that is the best Santa card...ever!
Sharron, so stunning! I am in awe of your coloring, your flowers look so real and they look just beautiful with your choice of patterned paper. Your Santa is so festive and fun, love him! My favorite card is the third one with that silver ornament, so elegant and beautiful with the green patterned paper behind it, so classy. Love them all Sharron!
Your cards are just gorgeous. These really are the perfect stamps to show off your marvelous coloring skills. I can't pick a favorite, so I won't even try. However, I now know what the red and green bling is supposed to be used for--why didn't I see that?? I am excited to case your cards with the beautiful die cuts that I saved for later.
Sharron all of your project are just gorgeous, love your shiny ornament!
Love your cards...especially the first!! Those gorgeous colored flowers in a basket!! Love it!

I love the 12 kits of Christmas! I look forward to the end of each month so I can see what you talented ladies have come up with! I love the plaid paper and all th die its!
STUN-NING samples, Sharron! I love the way you and Cathy used that snowy scene! It's beautiful with the touch of glitter and the little white "wreath"! OH, your poinsettias! So beautifully colored. Your Santa is so merry, love the layout and the holly gems. Those were one of my favorite things in the kit...and what did I do? Save them! What is wrong with me? LOL!!
Oh, I'm loving the amazing variety of cards that you've made! Some are traditional and warm, others are elegant. All are fabulous!
Sharron, you were just amazing with this kit! I think my two favorites are the green one with he ornament, it is so bright and stands out, but the peace one, oh man, that is simply gorgeous...you made so many beautiful cards this month!
Blew it out of the water.....seriously! Your poinsettia coloring on that first card is perfectly done and I love how you centered them in that gorgeous die cut! Then you have the cool wintery card with the snow covered trees.....your details of the glitter, the die cut, and the snowflake. Fab job! Have a wonderful Holiday Season!!
SO pretty! I am loving that blue with the white trees! Thank you!
Sharron, your coloring blows me away! But I love the blue trees card - the glitter accent is perfect!
You have all done the most incredible cards with this kit! Wow.
These are incredible, Sharron! Your coloring is amazing--those poinsettias look like they are ready to spring off the card! Santa looks so sweet with the plaid background and holly gems, and I love the way you topped the silver ornament with one of those pretty gems. But your last card has to be my favorite. So incredibly serene and beautiful!
