The 12 Kits of Occasions: November with Jessica " Christmas 2017"

Welcome to another 12 Kits of Occasions reveal! It is finally feeling a little cooler and more typical weather here and with the passing of Thanksgiving, all the holiday activities are in full swing. So we are helping you get into the Christmas spirit with this month's fabulous kit. Our wonderful hostess is Jessica from The Paper Parade. Jessica's kits usually have some fun little critter images and so I was thrilled to unwrap mine this month. See the photo below to see some of the things included. The complete list can be found on the 12 Kits blog, at the top under Supplies for 2017. Jessica included lots of sweet images and the coolest selection of papers. Love all those plaids! And there is still so many I didn't get to use. Can't wait to see what my fellow members have created. I bet you do too so click HERE to connect to the 12 Kits blog.

Please excuse the slightly off colors today. My computer was just updated with new software and the photo editing section was a bit of a challenge! 

PHOTO COLLAGE BY LINDSEY

These sweet little angels are a favorite of mine. And the 'peace' banner seems to be made for them to hold over the charming little village below. I used a Mama Elephant confetti die to cut some sparkly gold stars.


I added an embossed plaid background to make these cozy images and sentiment even more "warm and fuzzy".


There have been quite a few yeti sets done lately. These are from Mama Elephant. I decided to use both of the ones Jessica sent--one for the front and one for the inside.


And here is the inside!


Below I added a sentiment from WPlus9.


Little mouse isn't following all the warnings about eating raw dough!


I thought these adorable little bears should be decorating a tree out in the glittery snow!


Hope you are enjoying Jessica's kit as much as I did. Be sure to visit all the other blogs and hope we give you some inspiration. Have a wonderful weekend!

Hugs,
Sharron

Sharron, you do "critters" just as sweetly as Jessica - and color them so beautifully, too! Your first card perfectly represents a favorite Christmas carol: Angels we have heard on high! you've perfectly blended the perspective of being high above your darling village! I must also admit that, like Mr. Mouse, I never heed the warnings either - my Oatmeal Cookies never make as many as the recipe says!!!
A darling set of cards, Sharron! xx

Oh Sharron you never disappoint! That first card is my favourite I love how you have the fairies holding that banner over the houses--such a sweet scene! You used your patterned papers perfectly with all the rest of your cute cards and your colouring is fabulous. I have a lot of moments where I though why didn't I think of that, so the CASEing will ensue! The little mouse will learn about eating raw dough when his tummy is hurting--lol Great collection!

Cuteness overload Sharron!! I can tell you enjoyed Jessica's kit, these are all delightful. The little angels watching over the Christmas village is such a cute idea. Also love that sweet little mouse holding the whisk!!

WOW..... seven a-mazing holiday cards, each with lovely color/coloring and perfect detail! Hard to choose a favorite, but love, love those sweet angels hovering over the little village! Beautiful in every way!

Marybeth said...

Wow Sharron, you created so many darling cards with Jessicas Christmas kit! I so love the sweet angles holding the banner over the village.... just darling! Each one is such a delight . I love the sweet baking card too I have been inspired to use mine now.

Swoon.. that snowy background on the first card with the little village is so dreamy Sharron! I love the gold accents! The hair on the Yeti is so cool too! I love them all! It's starting to feel like Christmas! Love the candy cane on the cooking sentiment too!

Birgit said...

Oh my Sharron, so much cuteness here! I just knew I'd enjoy seeing all of your cards with all of these cute little critters. You color them up perfectly and your scenes always tell such sweet stories. The little fairies covering the village with peace is just what we all need! So so cute!! The Yeti card is so fun, inside and out! I'm so sad because I think I ruined mine when I colored them. The little bunny delivering the package to the door is just as sweet as can be! It's always such a joy to see your posts. I hope your Christmas is filled with joy!

So adorable, Sharron ... what a delicious confection of cuteness ... each little critter on every card is so sweet ... I especially love that hairy yeti, he's so much fun! Hugs, Anita :)

The Paper Parade said...

Sharron, wow! You created so much! You figured out just the right ways to put everything together to make such fun and festive cards. I love the "fa la la" card, the little family is just too sweet. The baking one will make anyone smile. I love how you used the bunny and present with the door, that was a great combo! And the fairies holding the banner together over the town? awesome!
