The 12 Kits of Occasions: January with Lindsey--"Fresh Start to the New Year"

Wish you could have seen the kit I received this month. The picture below shows the contents but falls short of how gorgeous it looked in real life. The things our hostess, Lindsey from Occasional Stamping, sent are absolutely amazing. The colors and the papers are so very lovely and I was happy to see products from some sets that were on my wish list!

We also have several changes in our group. First I must apologize for my note last month about members that wouldn't be continuing with us this year. I incorrectly said Tracey would be leaving but found out that fortunately she will still be an active member of our little group. Yeah, Tracey!!! We are all sad to lose Joyce though. She needed to step aside for now but will continue to be active with her blog as always. Be sure to visit her there.

So "drum roll", we are excited to announce our newest member. Birgit from Crafting While I Wait. Be sure to visit Birgit's blog and help us welcome her. She does wonderful creations and if you like to design with die cuts, take some extra time to review some of her older posts, lots of fun ideas!

Links to all the members' posts are on the 12 Kits blog HERE. Be sure to read through the post to the bottom. You will be able to enter a drawing to win an upcoming kit. As you may know, we do not sell our kits so here is a great chance to join us!

and the inside.........

Thanks again, Lindsey! I LOVED this month's kit!

Hope you all enjoy the hop! I love when you visit!!

Darnell's NBUS #8

Still having fun playing with digital images! This is for Darnell's NBUS #8 challenge. A very special one too as this is Darnell's 5th Blog Birthaversary!! It's really an honor to help her celebrate. Plus I have so many supplies that would qualify. That's a great reason to keep a New Year's resolution to not keep ordering so much! I'm really enjoying the colored pencils though and have just worked on an order for more. Supplies shouldn't count--right!!

I've used an image from Sassy Cheryl's called Gabby's Marvelous Adventure. I have a weakness for anything with books or a reading theme and sometimes buy things that then get added to my never ending stash. This was one of those! The sentiment is from another SC image. I have never used any paper but white before so this was a first.

Your visit is always a blessing. Thanks for coming by,

CAS(E) This Sketch #203

I've been doing some cards with digital images lately and made this one for this week's CAS(E) this Sketch. One of the things I like about digitals is the ability to resize the images. The image is Let Your Heart Sing by Sassy Cheryl. The sentiment is also computer generated. Coloring was done with Copics. The little music notes are from Birds of a Feather by PTI, currently in their Vault.

Thank you so much for taking time to visit. Love seeing your comments!
