Goodness, the summer has really flown by! Now on this last day of the month I am here with my July post for the 12 Kits of Occasions. Our fabulous hostess is Cathy from Empty Nest Crafter and the theme is none other than "Christmas in July". Seems that most of our members have had a busier than usual summer so it's fun to have this monthly get-together and a chance to share.
Sadly, one of our members has found it necessary to step down. Kelly, Gingham Girl, has found that her busy schedule means she must limit her crafting activities. We have loved the time she has been with us and always enjoy her incredible creations. We all wish you well, Kelly! You will be missed!!
If you haven't started on Christmas cards yet, we hope our projects this month will give you some inspiration. The photo below shows some of the marvelous supplies Cathy put together. I instantly fell in love with the wonderful patterned papers and knew I would definitely be using the deer! Thanks, Cathy!!! This has been a fantastic kit! I was amazed how the cards came together so easily. And I still have so many supplies to enjoy!
We also have a special guest designer with us this month. Lisa Elton of My Paper Tales has some wonderful projects for you to see. Be sure to visit her blog and give her a little love! I'm anxious to see what she's done with Cathy's kit too. Just click HERE to connect with the 12 Kits blog and to links to Lisa's and all the 12 Kits members' blogs. A list of supplies for this month can be found at the top also.

| I WANTED TO DO SOMETHING SPECIAL WITH THIS LITTLE WOOD CUT-OUT THAT CATHY INCLUDED IN MY KIT. SO TO CREATE A SHAKER ELEMENT, I SEARCHED MY SUPPLIES AND FINALLY FOUND THIS SMALL SNOWMAN IN MY STASH THAT WOULD FIT. DID YOU SEE THE SQUIRREL??? |
Thank you so much for your visit! Are you ready to start creating for Christmas yet!!
Enjoy the rest of the hop,
Sharron
