The 12 Kits of Occasions: August with Michele "A Spoonful of Sugar"


Hi all! Goodness, here we are at the end of summer and the start of school! It's so hard to believe how fast this year has flown by! And since it's the last day of the month it's also time for another 12 Kits of Occasions reveal. Our little group has dwindled a bit and we are keeping things going with just 10 of us. But we're as enthusiastic as ever and ready to share this month's "A Spoonful of Sugar" creations, which is also our newest member's first kit. You're going to love all the fabulous goodies that Michele, I Card Everyone, has sent us this month! See a little peek in the photo below. Her kit included so many wonderful images, really cool papers and lots of fun embellishments. There was even a secret element that Michele said was something that would seem out of place. But after several looks at the supplies, I decided there just wasn't anything that met that criteria. Wanting to play along and make a guess I went with a little coat hanger paper clip. Guess who was totally wrong! Can't wait to find out the answer........

If you've never visited Michele's blog, be sure to drop by today. She does the most amazing creations and often adds a bit of humor that can bring a little sunshine to anyone's day! 

We also have a special guest designer this month. It's someone you might remember as she been with us before. And she does gorgeous designs!! To find out who it is, just click HERE to go to the 12 Kits blog. When there, you can also find links to all the other designers' blogs and a link at the top to a list of supplies that were included in our kits.

PHOTO BY MICHELE
Here is my hanger card! The first picture is the one I posted on the 12 Kits blog. The second is my rescue card after I discovered the vellum was completely coming off the front. I used an almost empty can of vellum spray so it must have been too dry. So a frame to the rescue! The dotted vellum is placed over a piece of black paper with large white polka dots. Sentiment is from Simon Says Stamps. Dies are from Lil' Inker.




MICHELE INCLUDED SEVERAL SENTIMENTS THAT SHE HAD TYPED.  I USED ONE FOR THE INSIDE OF THIS CARD BUT RETYPED IT SO I COULD USE THE YELLOW POLKA DOTS.

REMEMBER WHEN YOU WERE LITTLE AND HAVING MOM KISS YOUR OUCHY (OR BOO- BOO) COULD MAGICALLY MAKE IT ALL BETTER!!! THE FUNKY FONT IS SCHOOLHOUSE CURSIVE.

LOTS OF CHERRIES HERE. THE BOTTOM PATTERNED PAPER IS A CHERRY DESIGN TOO!

LOVE THE COLOR OF THIS PAPER! IT MAKES ME THINK OF STRAWBERRY ICE CREAM. THERE'S NO COMFORT FOOD QUITE AS GOOD AS ICE CREAM--AT LEAST FOR ME! SO I MADE THIS CARD WITH A FOLDING TAG DIE BY LIL' INKER AND THOUGHT A GIFT CARD TO A FAVORITE ICE CREAM STORE WOULD BE FUN!

HERE'S A PICTURE OF THE TAG MICHELE INCLUDED!

HAD TO DO A SHAKER CARD FOR MICHELE'S PURE INNOCENCE SWEETIE! I TRIED TO USE A DOT TECHNIQUE FOR THE BEAR'S FUR BUT JUST ENDED UP WITH A TOO DARK BEAR!

DON'T YOU LOVE THIS WOODGRAIN!

AND LASTLY A CARD WITH A SENTIMENT THAT CONTINUES TO THE INSIDE OF THE CARD.


Thanks so much for your visit! We love being able to share our 12 Kits creations each month.

Hope it's fun and inspirational for you as well! 
Enjoy the hop,
Sharron

I adore vellum, even when it's flapping around a bit ... the frame does look very cute, too! YOU did it, Sharron - you've used those cherries when there wasn't a thing to go with it but the paper, which was also a misfit! Even though you weren't the first ... sounds like a big ol' slumber party to me!

You did so many cute things here today Sharron! I love the Ochie sentiment with the kisses (those things had me stumped) The pretty butterfly on the Hope die cut, that clever sentiment with the hangar - the colored little bee.. a pocket card, a shaker card. You totally blew this kit out of the water. You really matched everything perfectly - the perfect sentiments with the right embellishments - a real treat here today!!

Marybeth said...

You did amazing things here with this kit! I keep going back to look at each one again. Love the shaker card and that gorgeous watercolor background and the tag card is gorgeous! You have an amazing talent Sharron, I always love seeing what you do with the kits.

These are all so fun, Sharron! I think my favorite is the hang in there card, love that one! But then I also love those lips, and the cute cherry, and the ice cream tag, and the shaker, oh heck, I love them ALL lol!

Darnell said...

Sharron, wow, look at you GO with this kit! You really inspired me to the moon and back with all these awesome creations! As I'm scrolling down, I'm thinking "that's my fave," then the next one appeared so THAT became my fave, and so on and so on!! You have given us seriously incredible card art from this kit and I thank you!! Hugs, Darnell

Sharron, holy moly these are amazing! Seriously, when I saw you card using the hanger I was so stunned that I grabbed my husband to come take a look. It is one of my favorite cards ever. I totally thought that the hanger was the mystery item, but I love that you used the cherries, too. I want to CASE as many of these as I can...starting with your little tag pocket. How cute is that?!

Joyce said...

Wow, Sharron. What an amazing collection of cards you made. Each time I thought I was at the end, I scrolled and found more. Love each and every one. Possibly my favorite is your shaker of the Pure Innocence girl. But possibly not, because I also love the cherries, hanger card and hope. Nice work, my friend!!!

Sharron you really went to town with Michele's kit! Eight cards including your rescue card I am super impressed! No favourites but the first one-two are pretty amazing. You always do such amazing things with the kits. I like how you used the cherries too. Sorry to take so long to visit but tonight I am determined to get around to everyone tonight but the lamps are closing fast I may need to finish tomorrow!
