12 Kits of Occasions-May with Jeanne: Let's Hear It for the Boys

I'm always excited when this time of month arrives. Even if I get swamped with other things, I love having some time to play with one of the awesome kits that are sent out each month. With Father's Day in a couple of weeks, this month is perfect for concentrating on the guys in our lives. Masculine designs are usually a bit more difficult and I was thrilled to see all the wonderful products. Our hostess is Jeanne, A Kept Life, and you would have been as amazed as I was to see all the goodies (see photo below). She included great stamped images and fun sentiments, a fabulous selection of embellishments (including a special gift of wood die cuts) and the most wonderful dies! I could have made so many more cards!! Thank you so much, Jeanne. I loved your kit!

You are going to have a wonderful and extra busy time visiting blogs this month! In addition to our regular members, we have two guest designers and the winner of a guest designer contest. To read about everyone click HERE to connect to the 12 Kits blog. There is also a link at the top that includes a list of Jeanne's supplies. I'm really anxious to see what everyone created!

I didn't add comments about supplies with my pictures. Most everything was from Jeanne's kit but if you have a question about some other supply, just let me know.

I love that you took the time to visit. Be sure you make it around to all the other blogs!

And have a wonderful, wonderful day,

CAS-ology #148: Story

Besides working on my 12 Kits of Occasions post, I've been working on some challenges. The first is CAS-ology where this week's cue word is 'Story'. My design is definitely CAS, something that I can struggle with at times. There is lots of white but the negative of that is it's very difficult to get a good picture.

I thought of this sentiment as soon as I saw the cue word. It's by an unknown author and I made a computer generated version. The box outline is a WMS stamp called Frame It. Do you remember when that was a really popular concept? The birds are Penny Black dies (Tweets) and the hearts are from WPlus9 (Love Birds). They are brushed with Wink of Stella and topped with Glossy Accents. I also used the border die from a recent WPlus9 set--Sunshine Layers.

I need to finish my 12 Kits write-ups before bedtime. Don't forget to check all the posts in the morning. I also have another CAS-ology card that is partly done and I'm hoping to get it posted by the deadline!

Thanks for visiting. Hope to see you again tomorrow!
