12 Kits Of Occasions & Where I've Been...

Hi!  I was thrilled that this month at 12 Kits of Occasions was a "second helpings" month because I always have so many ideas and supplies leftover each month.  I got a super early start and made my first card June 1st. :) And it turned out to be a REALLY good thing because about a week later we found that my husband is being transferred and we needed to move ASAP across the country.  It was pretty shocking news and since then I've been in a practically sleepless craze trying to get our home ready to sell and us ready to move.  That being said, I hope you'll understand when I share my single card this month that I made using leftover paper and die cuts from Marybeth's kit and string from Jeanne's kit.  I was pretty excited about turning parts of the happy birthday banners into a 4th of July card.
Please, please, please head to the 12 Kits of Occasions Blog.  The 12 Kits team and our guests from the previous months are sharing so many amazing cards.  Leftovers month is truly so fun.  You don't want to miss out.  I'll be back as soon as I can, but in the meantime I hope you are all happy and well!

    What a cute card, Lindsey ... love how you used the banner ... the red white and blue are fabulous against the kraft! Hope all the arrangements for the move go well ... and that you get a chance to breathe a little through it all! Hugs, Anita :)

    Love your card, so beautiful. And I have to agree with Joyce, not sure I would have been able to make just one card with all that is going on! Wishing you all the best and love your fabulous card.

    Love your card Linz. It is amazing as ever! You have had a whirlwind couple of weeks. I sure am going to miss you sis, but I am excited that you will be closer to the rest of our family! I can't wait to see the new things you are able to create once you get settled into your new place. Love you Lil' Sis!

    Love your fabulous design, Lindsey! Gosh, I probably wouldn't have gotten even one card completed if I was suddenly having to move! Hope things are going as smooth as possible. And as Joyce said, "Hang in there" and kept us posted! HUGS!!
