March 12 Kits of Occasions

I cannot believe that today is the last day of March!  Where is this year going? But the last of the month does mean good news because it's another 12 Kits of Occasions reveal.  Michelle (from Pretty Periwinkles) put together the cutest "Spring Fling" themed kit!  Have you ever gotten something crafty that you loved so much that you didn't want to use it because then it would be gone?  Well, that's how I felt about pretty much everything in this kit.  Cutting this darling paper was almost painful, and some of my very favorite supplies (like the string of sequins, the kraft patterned paper, and the itty bitty stamped bunnies) still didn't get used because I just couldn't part with them yet. :)  Oh, and I hardly added any extra supplies on my projects, so make sure you check out the Kit Supply List here.

I started with a quick and easy Easter card. (The only thing I added was stamping the polka dots.) Then I remembered that we were posting this after Easter, so I made a few non-holiday cards. 

I super loved this grass in the kit as well as the flower sequins, so I decided to combine them.  When I went to pull out my cloud stamps, I happened upon PTI's Watercolor Wonder and the strokes reminded me so much of the actual clouds I've been seeing in the sky lately that I had to use them.  And I LOVE how they look on the card. {happy sigh} I'm also linking this one up to the Simon Says Anything Goes Wednesday Challenge.

One of the big dilemmas in this kit was choosing which side of the patterned paper to use because I truly loved every single pattern. This one in particular was so gorgeous that I didn't want to cover up any of it, so I went with an extremely simple card design.  I wish I had this pattern in a pillow, or a curtain, or even a chair. :) The wood embellishments were from last month's kit. 

This bunny card is probably my favorite. Every single thing on it was included in the kit. And somehow I managed to not color an image that clearly was meant to be colored. :) 

I needed a few last minute tags, so I put the darling Frantic Stamper bunnies in the kit to good use. And to up the cuteness factor, I added the itty bitty pom poms on their tails. In fact, now that I look at the tags all together, every single bit of them except the clothespins came from Michelle's kit. 

And here are my cards all together one last time.  Well, almost all of them.  I have another card that I made that will post tomorrow, but doesn't the spring goodness just make you happy? Now if you want a little more happy in your life, head over to the 12 Kits of Occasions blog to find links to all the other designers and their extra fabulous cards. :) Plus, you don't want to miss out on the chance to win this darling kit...details on the 12 Kits Blog!
