The 12 Kits of Occasions: February with Nancy "Party in the Park"

PHOTO BY LINDSEY

See the fabulous collage picture above! Doesn't it look like we're planning a party! This month's super talented hostess, Nancy at Artful Notions, chose the theme of "Party in the Park". I loved all the fun images and fabulous patterned papers. And once again I was thrilled to find a kit full of wonderful products that I had not used before.

I started with some colorful paper and one of the pinata party images which could easily be decorated in rainbow colors. It worked great to make a shaker!

Other popular items were some die cuts that could be arranged into wonderful layered flowers and leaves. I was going to use them on a plain background but ended up using this gorgeous flowered paper! Love all these awesome blooms!

My remaining cards were pure fun. The carousel horses (there were three) were easy to color and there were many papers and die cuts to mix and match. I made them so they could be used for a variety of occasions.

And this little otter is so adorable. Nancy said he didn't exactly fit with the other things she sent but was too cute not to share! I used a die cut Penny Black sentiment for the front and put the sentiment Nancy included on the inside. It says "Have an OTTERLY great birthday"!

Have a great weekend and hopefully stay warm if you are anywhere winter seems to just be hanging on and on and on!!

Hugs,
