Good morning! I am so SO excited to share my cards today. About a month ago I decided on a special project. I have some family members who really need to be showered with some extra love and encouragement, and so I decided this year I would do 14 Days of Valentine's for them. My plan is to fill them with love and smiles and reassurances of their worth. Right about the time I hatched my plan Jeanne sent the cutest Snow Day Kit to our 12 Kits of Occasions group of friends. These may be winter themed, but these are the start of my love project and having that in mind made making these cards so special. They are full of love! I'll try to list the main players on each card; however, you can go HERE to find the full list of supplies Jeanne used to create this fabulous kit. Oh, one quick note before I start. Every snowflake, snowy hill, or anywhere else you can imagine snow would be on my cards is covered in the most wonderful glittery shine from Wink of Stella...but you can see none of it in my photos. :( As you look, just imagine that these cards glisten. :)

Okay, I do need to make some comments about this last card. The idea for it came into my head immediately when I was looking through the kit and it is a bit out of the norm for me. Still clean and simple, but after being inspired by Jennifer McGuire HERE while back, it opens up...twice. I snapped a couple photos below, so you can see. I knew my niece would enjoy it, so it was worth the extra time.
And here is one last shot of all the happy goodness in one place. All of these cards have been mailed already, so seeing this photo makes me smile lots. Though my commentary was unusually brief, please know that I think the paper and all the stamps dies included in the kit were so cute and wonderful, and I loved them all.
Many thanks to Jeanne for the wonderful kit and to YOU for visiting today. I know time is precious and always appreciate when you stop by to visit my blog. Please stop by the 12 Kits of Occasions Blog to see all the fabulous cards my amazing teammates and special guests have made. They sure are a talented bunch and I love them all!
