Wow, it's almost Christmas and we are in our eleventh month of 12 Kits of Occasions for 2015. The year has really flown! Our lovely hostess this month is Kim from Cupcakes, Cards and Kim. I was so excited when her kit arrived. I already had the Harvest Mouse set but I didn't order dies so I knew it would be so much fun to start by coloring all the little critters. And I really wanted the bears but finally decided to limit my purchase and wait until later to order them. And then they arrived--already cut out and stamped and ready for some crafty fun! Thanks, Kim!! As you can tell, I loved your kit!
I had already spent time playing with the mice that I had. I have limited Copic colors and you might see a lot of variation in their patterns. Kim included lots of polka dotted papers which is another favorite so practically every card has some dots!
I try to keep my post short as there is always so much to see. We have two guest designers this month to add to the fun. Just click HERE to connect to the 12 Kits blog where you can find links to all the different blogs. A collage created by Tracey is below showing all the wonderful supplies in Kim's kit and you can also find a list at the top of those on the 12 Kits blog.

| THIS CARD USES AN IDEA I GOT FROM JENNIFER MCGUIRE IN A VIDEO ON ALTERING YOUR STAMPS. I JUST CUT OFF THE BASKET OF APPLES ON THE STAMPED IMAGE AND USED THE STAMPED PACKAGES. I DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO LINK HER VIDEO HERE BUT YOU CAN CHECK HER LIST OF YOU TUBE VIDEOS. THE PACKAGES AND SENTIMENT ARE FROM MFT SANTA'S ELVES. |
| THIS CARD WILL BE ENTERED IN THE FRESHLY MADE SKETCHES CHALLENGE. |
