The 12 Kits of Occasions: December with Cathy!

It's time for our December reveal as another amazing year is drawing to a close! Thanks to all of you who have followed our blog and let us share our projects. This month's hostess is Cathy, The Empty Nest Crafter, and the theme is "Baby, It's a New Year". This was an appropriate theme for Cathy as her first grandbaby was just recently born--an exciting event she has been looking forward to for quite a while. Her kit included such wonderful papers and so many die cuts (see photo below). Everything was so much fun and easy to use! Thank you so much, Cathy!!

We do have some sad news this month though! This will be Renee's last month with the 12 Kits group so she can spend more time with her family. The group wouldn't even exist if it weren't for her and she has been such an inspiration to all of us. She is going to be greatly missed! Hope she can pop by occasionally and perhaps be a guest designer.

All supplies were included in Cathy's kit except for a couple of pieces of felt. I want to keep my post short so you can visit everyone else. Just click HERE to go to the 12 Kits blog where you will find links to all the blogs.

Wishing you all the very best in the year ahead!! Don't forget to come back and visit us on the last day of January!

A Very Merry Christmas to All!!

Just wanted to share a few of my Christmas projects and to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas! I am so glad I ordered PTI's Tinsel and Tags set this year. It has been so much fun! I made a dozen globes  to use on Christmas gifts and still have a few more that are stamped and ready to put together. All are the same except I used two different sentiments.

I had requested this My Favorite Things Jingle All the Way set a while back from a favorite Kansas City stamping store. I had several other tags that I had been working on but when it arrived in the mail, I instantly fell in love with these adorable little Santas. I know it's not very practical to do tags that require a lot of coloring but I couldn't help myself. I've made a LOT of these! The 'a gift for you' sentiment came from Tinsel and Tags.

Except for hubby's gift and also his birthday present (BD is the 27th!), I think I'm actually ready for the holidays. The baking is even done!!

If you are celebrating Christmas, Hanakkah, or Kwanza this month, may December bring you peace. Wishing everyone a wonderful season,

Sharron
