The 12 Kits of Occasions: August with Lisa "Teacher's Pet"

Well, summer is coming to a close and this month our 12 Kits of Occasions is focusing on school. Lisa from My Paper Tales is our super talented hostess. She always make such lovely cards and we all looked forward to receiving her special kit. I knew I was going to love it the minute I opened it! See Lindsey's collage below to see the fabulous mix of supplies. There were such wonderful papers and awesome diecuts. My favorite were all the sweet Purple Onion images and the first thing I did was color them! I've been using colored pencils more and they worked great for these cute little critters. I had also just received a PTI order with several Mix and Mat dies so I had fun playing with those also.

Lisa invited a guest designer so be sure to Judy Marino's blog to see her wonderful creations.

A supply list is available by going to the Monthly Kit Supplies 2017 located at the top.

Hope you enjoy all the creations!!

COLLAGE BY LINDSEY

I added a piece of black cardstock to help highlight the sweet bunny and that adorable school bus.

Aren't the school buses fun! And I'm in love with this cute owl. I have a few Purple Onion stamps but can see there are several more I plan to order.

I think this is my favorite bunny! Anything with books is always an attraction for me. I also found a PTI sentiment that I will use for the inside, "Having you as a friend is like curling up with a good book".

Message for the inside "for lending a hand". 

This is the sweetest little mouse! I debated about sentiments but finally decided on this "Wish Big" from a PTI set.

Lisa also included two die cut Lawn Fawn Milk Cartons. I used a couple of the included images and a piece of twine that was also in our kits. 

Hope you enjoy the hop and find some inspiration along the way. Thanks for visiting and thanks so very much to Lisa for a fabulous kit! 

It's always wonderful to be able to share,

Time Out Challenge #88: Inspired by Words

My first ever Time Out challenge is inspired by Roald Dahl's children's novel "Twits"

"If you have good thoughts they will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely."

I thought of this sweet image by Sassy Cheryl and the sentiment she used for a title. It is a quote from Marilyn Monroe. Love this adorable little girl! I used a combination of Copics and Prismacolor pens to color her and then added a few hearts cut from metallic paper with a Mama Elephant die. The border was cut from WPlus9's Sunshine Layers Dies. My sentiment is computer generated.

Thanks so much for stopping by. I can't believe I have posted three times in the past few days!!
