The 12 Kits of Holidays: June

Is it HOT where you are? Maybe a dose of Winter will help! Our 12 Kits group is focusing on Christmas/Winter this month and our wonderful hostess is Jeanne, A Kept Life. Our little group has been going strong for 18 months now! We started out making Christmas/Holiday cards each month so we could try to spread our holiday projects throughout the year but have alternated our schedule this year with cards for other occasions. But for this month, it's Christmas!!

Jeanne makes the most beautiful cards--created with awesome papers and the most amazing embellishments. She's super with CAS too though!! Below is a peek at all the supplies we got in the mail at the first of the month. Doesn't this just make you drool!! Thank you so much, Jeanne! The kit was wonderful and so easy to work with--loved how quickly things just came together and I have lots of goodies left!!

This month we also have a very special guest designer! Cathy, Empty Nest Crafter, was in our group all last year but had some job conflicts. We've missed you, Cathy! But it's wonderful to have you back for this month. Can't wait to see what you've made!!

So, on with the hop! There's lots to see so be sure to visit all the blogs listed below. 

For my first card, think SNOW!! I used Lil' Inker Stitched Rectangles to give a more homespun feel. Loved the sweet little girl (which I colored with Copics)--and the lace!

This one is done in neutrals using fabulous WPlus9 stamped images and that cool paper that were included in the kit.

More WPlus9 goodies! I did use one WMS stamp from Santa's Coming to Town that wasn't included. 

I wanted something for the corner and thought it fit!!

Thanks so much for coming by and letting us share our creations! Hope everyone has a safe and comfortable weekend!

Monday Mood Board #14--Lazy Days of Summer

At last I'm back and functioning somewhat normally!! Not sure what I had but hubby ended up with the same symptoms---sore throat and coughing and extreme body aches! Anyway, it seems better and I was actually able to get a card done!

My apologies to all my blogging friends. I tried to visit blogs when I could but missed a lot of you!! 

Below is Dawn's latest inspiration photo for the current Monday Mood Board Challenge. I couldn't decide whether to use my new floral set or Milk and Cookies!

Our warm weather inspired me to go with the milk bottle and lemonade! LOVE this set!! The Oreos are the strawberry creme version. Do you love to see when products come out with different flavors and seasonal designs! Hubby laughs at me when I check to see what new flavors and colors are featured. I'm also the one to buy the Christmas crackers--like snowflake Ritz!! He says it doesn't make any difference since they taste the same but I'm sure they're better! Just like folded potato chips--anyone else like those?

I have the dies to match this set but decided to cut these out since I wanted to do a lot of stacking. The sentiment is from a Technique Tuesday set. It was fun playing with my Copics to try to get certain colors!

Hope, hope, hope to stay in the swing of things from now on! 

Thanks for visiting! 

Have a wonderful weekend,

Sharron

CLICK ON IMAGE ABOVE TO CONNECT TO  CAS-OLOGY BLOG

Wow, I am really down to the wire with this one! I knew I wanted to use this image and actually made another card. But some glue issues that I tried to correct didn't work out so I had to remake my card. I bought a bunch of digital images from K'n K Designs last year. I love all the whimsical little critters!

I'm keeping my comments short so I can get this posted over on the CAS-ology blog! See my supply list below for details.

Beautiful Sunday here--cool and sunny!

Wishing You Sunshine!!

Had to do another card for the Sunny Days Challenge over on the Lil' Inker blog! There's still a little over a day left for you to post an entry too!!!

Instead of rainbows, this time I used some hearts in different colors. And the sun is stamped with an image from Darling Diamonds. It fit perfectly!

My heart goes out to all those people experiencing all the tornado and flood damage in the Midwest.

Wish everyone could be blessed with sunshine!

Hugs,

Sharron
