TCP Tuesday Challenge #327: THE OUTDOORS

Summer fun and a day at the beach! Little bunny is having a great day making his castle, pretty good don't you think! I absolutely love all the images in this Live More set that was released last month at The Cat's Pajamas. I was even lucky enough to win a gift certificate during the release too. I had purchased a pad of paper at Michael's ages ago with wonderful ocean patterns that were perfect for my cards. Both are colored with Prismacolor pencils. And both sentiments are from Hero Arts Monthly Kit June 2018. 

.

Supplies:

Stamps: Live More (The Cat's Pajamas), Sentiments from Hero Arts Monthly Kit-June 2018

Papers: Stamper's Select White, Kraft,  Weathervane (PTI); Coastal (DCWV); Red from stash

Dies: Fancy Circle (Studio Katia); Stitched Rectangles, Stitched Circles (Lil' Inker)

Additional: Wink of Stella Clear

(Please excuse my slight slip with my die on card two. I'd already done all the coloring so felt it had to do!)

Thank you so much for paying a visit. There is still time for you to participate in the challenge and it's a great way to celebrate summer!

The 12 Kits of Occasions: May with Nancy "You're a Good Egg"

What a fun month! Our hostess is Nancy, Artful Notions and she sent us an amazing kit of farm related images and sentiments. She even raises chickens! Being a city girl I am always fascinated with what it would have been like to live on a farm as my husband did. Nancy included fun little critters that I was able to enjoy coloring. And there was the most amazing set from Stampin' Up that featured clever chicken images. They were such a joy to use. I was even able to save one to use after seeing what the other 12 Kits members make!  Included was also wonderful papers and embellishments that coordinated with the theme. Below is Lindsey's great collage which shows you some of the supplies. And thank you, Nancy, for a super enjoyable month!!

Nancy has also asked two friends to join us this month as guest designers. So there will be lots to see. Click HERE to connect with the 12 Kits blot where there are links to all the blogs. A list of supplies can be found at the top of the blog.

I THINK THIS IS MY FAVORITE! I JUST ADORE THE CHICKEN! THE BOTTOM SENTIMENT IS FROM SIMON SAYS STAMPS.

ANOTHER GREAT CHICKEN! THERE SHE IS WITH HER UNHATCHED BABIES WHEN SHE SUDDENLY SEES ONE HAS HATCHED!!

AREN'T THESE LAWN FAWN CRITTERS ADORABLE!

I ACCIDENTALLY MESSED UP THE DIE CUT SENTIMENT BUT WANTED TO USE IT ANYWAY. I DIDN'T MEAN TO PUT IT ON THAT PAPER WHERE THE LINES WOULD BE CROOKED.

Thank you so much for coming by for a visit and letting me share this wonderful kit. Hope you enjoy the hop and get lots of inspiration!

Have a wonderful weekend!

The 12 Kits of Occasions: April with Lisa "My Little Chickadee"

Are things blooming where you live! Our weather has been so strange but at least there is lots of green. I guess Spring has finally officially arrived! The theme for this month's 12 Kits of Occasions is a favorite for me as birds are something my hubby and I have always shared.  And I loved the supplies that this month's very talented hostess, Lisa from My Paper Tales, sent. Her kit contained the sweetest images with fabulous sentiments and lovely papers, as you can see in the photo below. I can't wait to see what the others have made. I have lots of leftovers that are waiting to be used!

LOVE THE CLOTHESPINS!

THE FEATHERS AND THE VELLUM WORKED SO WELL TOGETHER AND I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE SENTIMENT FROM SERENDIPITY STAMPS.

THE SENTIMENT FOR THIS CARD CAME FROM PTI'S SPRING HILLS SET.

Thank you so much for taking time to visit! We love having visitors to our blog hop and hope you have a wonderful time!

Time Out "Wild"

The Time Out Challenge "Wild" is the perfect theme for me to get out my Gerda Steiner stamps. This was a great choice to do some masking too. I've been volunteering at our Zoo so knew I would find many ways to use these fun sets. The Go Wild and Party Animals sets go so well together. I colored these with Copics and Prismacolor Pencils.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    

Thanks for much for stopping by. Be sure to come back on Monday when the 12 Kits will be posting their April reveal!

The 12 Kits of Occasions: March with Jessica "Many Thanks"

Another month and another chance to share our 12 Kits creations! This month our wonderful hostess is Jessica from The Paper Parade. I loved the great kit she sent to each of us (see the photo below). It contained so many things that I particularly enjoy--lots of adorable images ready to color if you wanted and I always can't wait to do, wonderful sentiments and the coolest paper! When you look at my cards you will see that I often let the papers take center stage! I would look at each one and then see how one of the images would fit perfectly. Thank you, Jessica, for a truly amazing kit and fun month!!

Since visiting all the blogs can be a little time consuming, you probably want to be on your way.

There were several of these adorable bears and I only used two so I am looking forward to using #3. The sentiment is from PTI.

LOVE this image! Makes me think of when grandchildren are leaving and you know you'll miss them before they have even left. Sentiment from SSS and a piece of another sentiment from Mama Elephant.

Couldn't not color the mane and tail on this sweet unicorn! Another sheet of that awesome paper works perfectly.

This little cutie was the first image I colored. The die cut is from a Studio Katia die

The branch is from a Memory Box die and the the little stump is from a Studio Katia set of foxes.

Thank you so much for visiting and allowing me to share. Hope you enjoy the hop!! We'll see you next month!

The 12 Kits of Occasions: February with Lindsey

Welcome to another 12 Kits of Occasions reveal! Our wonderful hostess this month is Lindsey, who also does our collages and photos for each month. This month she sent us a fabulous kit full of pretty papers, great stamped and die cut sentiments and lots of fantastic images. I loved all the florals and succulents! See the photo below for an idea of all we received. Thanks so much, Lindsey, for an amazing kit. And I still have lots of leftovers!!

COLLAGE AND PHOTO BY LINDSEY

I love this Concord and 9th woodgrain panel. I thought it would work great for a bench for a bunch of succulents which came from a darling Clearly Besotted set.

This might be my favorite! Aren't the colors wonderful and I adore those blooms. Lindsey sent them already stamped and die cut.

I try to just use things from the kits. But I am so addicted to these PTI Bitty Big Collection papers. I just had to use them on several cards.

The sentiment and the tree ring just seemed made for each other. Hope you like my mod design!

Lots of gorgeous patterned papers were included!

Another PTI paper seemed to work great with the flowers that I watercolored using Lindsey's colors.

Time to visit all the other blogs. Click HERE to connect with the 12 Kits blog where you will find links to all the other members' blogs. For a list of all the supplies in Lindsey's kit, click on the link at the top. Hope you enjoy the hop!
