Hi all! As you may know, we usually post our 12 Kits of Christmas cards on the last day of each month. But with several members on the East Coast and all the devastation from Hurricane Sandy, we decided it was best to put it off a day. Our hostess this month is Jessica Davis, The Paper Parade. If you've ever visited Jessica's blog you know how much she loves Paper Smooches. I love her awesome designs! She is also now on the PS Design Team. Not only will you see lots of great PS creations on her blog but visiting there is sure to put a smile on your face! Thanks Jessica for a fantastic fun-filled kit!

There were several snowmen images included in the kit. These two worked great for my snow scene.
Since we had an extra day this month, I had the time to make an additional card. For this one I cut pieces of the different patterned papers with My Favorite Things chevron dies.
I had this card done but not glued together when I saw this week's PTI Make It Monday Challenge. I had intended to put all the images on the front but decided to create a window using clear cardstock. There aren't any floating images but I love the look!
My last card is totally non-traditional. Aren't the dog and sentiment adorable? The rose-colored embossed paper and strip of stars were in the kit. After coloring the dog with Copics, I thought dark chocolate and kraft might be fun companion colors. I also added some stacked stars that I cut with a MFT die set.
Below is a list of all the other 12 Kits participants. We don't get to see what each other has made until the final reveal so I can't wait to see the projects either!
Have fun at the hop!
Smiles,

Oh, gosh. All your projects are super. I think my very favorite is that window card. I am kicking myself for not being as clever as you were in making that fireplace mantle. Pure genius. And, I love what you did with the chevrons and the different patterned papers--great way to highlight them all.
Sharron...
these are incredible!!
I'm dying over the fireplace scene...
how utterly creative...
I just die!
But they're all so incredible...
let's just say I'm really glad I "hoarded"...
as usual! :)
You REALLY rocked this kit Sharron...

It will take me all day to write what I love about your cards Sharron...so I will abbreviate my comments to say LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the patterned paper chevrons, the two snowmen and snowbanks and how cute to hang the stockings from the flower box mantle! You are so smart. Great job this month.
You were on a roll here Sharron! I love so many of these - you did so many things I didn't even think of! That Tree had me at a total loss - I love the tag you made and the traditional red and green. Your snowmen in the drifts is so fun and the zig zag stripes are awesome! Your Santa is my fave - the window is a big extra and it packs a punch! I have to case that little guy!

Love the Santa one, too cute with the frame and his little soft ball on his hat. Love the chevron die and all the papers you used. The dog one is adorable too. Sorry I am so late to comment , I was gone all day yesterday.

What wonderful cards! First I really like the design of the Christmas tree on the tag. Simple and so cute! Love your layering of the pattern papers. And the window scene with Santa is perfect. The dog card is so funny, great color combo too.
