The 12 Kits of Occasions: October, "Let's Go" with Joyce



Hi all! The 12 Kits of Occasions are posting a day early this month so as not to interfere with all the little goblins out and about tomorrow night! We have a theme that we have never done before. Joyce, Cards-by-the-Sea, is out hostess this month and she selected this fun theme of things relating to travel. Of course, we all like to travel! She sent lots of wonderful patterned papers and stamped sentiments and images. The die cuts included lots of these fabulous suitcases (my favorite!) I loved adding them to most of my cards!

We also have TWO guest designers! Kara Vrabel, with KandR Designs, and Jackie Southas from What did I do today. Kara is one of our inactive 12 Kits members and Jackie will also have lots of fantastic designs for us to see. Connect with their blogs, as well as the blogs of all our members, over at the 12 Kits blog HERE.

So sit back and enjoy our little trip around the world!!











Thanks so much for letting us share. Hope you get a little inspiration, or at least an urge to pack your bags and plan your next adventure!

Wonderful group of travel cards Sharron! I think we colored our San Francisco card exactly the same:) Beautiful split map patterned paper card, they are all crisp CAS ,love them all!

I can see you had fun with this kit, Sharron, and I love all of your cards. Love how you found ways to use all those suitcases, and I am definitely going to be copying your ideas. Love how you have part of the world map along with the 'we can go anywhere' quote, and I see you fussy cut that SF silhouette, which is such a fun idea that never occurred to me. You and Marybeth colored the same on that one--did you guys plan that?

Hi Sharron! I love all your fun cards!! My favorite that I NEED to case is the first one. Brilliant that you cut the sentiment in a tag shape, and how you broke up the pattern paper. The fussy cut city scape is perfect too and I love the bit of twine on the last. Lots of great ideas here!

Fabulous cards, Sharon! Love the way you used the patterned papers, especially on the safe travels card with the trimmed skyline. It has been a ton of fun to play along this month :)
