The 12 Kits of Occasions: December with Jessica "Thank You"!!!

Welcome to the last 12 Kits of Occasions reveal of 2016! It's been another wonderful year of sharing our kit creations with you. Hope you have enjoyed visiting as much as we enjoy sharing! This month our sweet hostess is Jessica from The Paper Parade. I loved this kit! The papers were gorgeous and the adorable little critters were such a joy to use. I barely made a dent in the supplies that Jessica sent so am looking forward to many more creative times ahead. Below is a photo of some of the supplies.

ONE OF THE SHEETS OF PAPER WAS COVERED WITH GOLD CIRCLES AND I WANTED TO USE THEM TO CREATE BALLOONS. I CUT THEM OUT WITH A CIRCLE PUNCH AND USED SOME CORD THAT JESSICA INCLUDED IN THE KIT. I BORROWED AN IDEA FROM LINDSEY ABOUT USING HEARTS AT THE BASE OF CIRCLES TO CREATE BALLOONS. MINE ARE TINY DIE CUT CONFETTI USING A MAMA ELEPHANT DIE.

CAN YOU TELL THE LITTLE YETIS HAVE BLUE FACES AND EARS! I'VE BEEN USING MY PRISMACOLOR PENCILS A LOT LATELY. LOVED HOW THE SHARP POINTS HELPED TO CREATE THE LOOK OF FUR.

THE GLASSES ARE SHINY IN REAL LIFE!!

THIS IS THE COOLEST DIE CUT SENTIMENT. LOVE ALL THE SWIRLS! AND ISN'T THE PAPER GORGEOUS! I TRIED TO CAPTURE A LITTLE OF THE GOLD SHINE FOR YOU.

Unfortunately, we do have some sad news this month as two of our forever members are needing to step down from our 12 Kits group. Joyce and Tracey will be posting their last post as members today. Both are going to be very greatly missed but you can continue to visit their blogs as they will be continuing with lots of awesome designs and inspiration. We have already added a new member who will be introduced next month. Don't miss our January post!!!

Thank you so much for stopping by!

Wishing each of you and your loved ones a blessed 2017,

Hugs, Sharron

CAS(E) This Sketch #201

Like many of you I have been super busy with Christmas plans and activities! But I wanted to post a few cards, one before the CAS(E) This Sketch deadline as I missed the last one. After seeing THIS gorgeous card by 12 Kits buddy, Marybeth from Marybeth's Time for Paper, I had to try the technique. I stamped and watercolored this adorable fox from Purple Onion, then added holographic embossing powder over the entire image. The die cuts are from WPlus9 and the sentiment is from Season's Tweetings by Winnie & Walter. 

Of course I had to do one more. This time with stamps from Technique Tuesday and another sweet image from Winnie & Walter's Season's Tweetings. Paper is from Bo Bunny.

As I said, I missed last week's sketch challenge but I had made this card and then didn't get it posted. More W&W images, these are from Happy Owlidays. I am so in love with these new sets! The die cut is another favorite, a birch tree from Taylored Expressions. I debossed the snow with an embossing folder by Sizzix and used Nuvo White Blizzard Glitter Drops to fill in the holes. Coloring is Prismacolor pencils.   

           

Thanks so much for stopping by! Hope you're have having a wonderful winter holiday season.
