12 Kits Continued :)

I'm back!  There's some major bedroom rearranging going on in our house, so today was a day of cleaning, organizing, purging, and furniture moving.  Sometimes I feel like it's real life tetris trying to figure out how we're going to make everything fit, but the great news is that being home all day allowed me to take advantage of the sun that popped out for a few minutes.  So I'm back with photos of the rest of the cards I made with July's 12 Kits of Occasions.  (You can see my other cards with the kit HERE.)  All of today's cards use more of Stacey Yacula's Purple Onion Designs' products in the kit.

I have a bag of scraps that I'm trying to eliminate either by using or purging, and I used several on my first card.  All I had to add was a sentiment and this cute snail from the kit.

It's hard to choose favorites, but this bunny card might be it...possibly because of the struggle to finish it.  Most of it came together really quickly, but it took me forever to figure out that it needed grass (I ended up hand drawing it) and to find a sentiment in the right scale and font.

My last card basically made itself.  I simply did a little coloring, cut out the center of the wreath, and filled it with some of the cutest teeny tiny sequins.

And now for my favorite picture every month.  Here they are all together...one big happy summery pile.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!  Wishing you the best week!

12 Kits of Occasions - July 2018

Good morning!  As shocking as it is that July has come to an end, I'm super excited to share the cards I made with this month's 12 Kits of Occasions kit.  My dear friend Marybeth put together a fun summery kit, and I enjoyed every minute of creating my cards.  I was so excited that she included Pretty Pink Posh's Flourishing Fuchsias...it's super high on my wish list!  I had full intentions to color the flowers, but was pretty delighted to see that they look great in just black and white. And there is something about the combo of colored stripes with black and white that that I just love, so I left them as is.

I was also thrilled to see several of Purple Onion Designs stamps from Stacey Yacula in the kit.  I think her artwork is the cutest!  Our family just got back from a vacation to the beach, so I paired the VW Bus with a fun beach paper in the kit.

As mom life would have it, I only got two of my cards photographed before a storm rolled in, but I actually made five cards, so stay tuned.

In the meantime, make sure you head to the 12 Kits of Occasions Blog to see the fabulous creations made by my teammates.  I sure love this group of ladies.  They make these monthly kits so much fun.

UPDATE: I got the rest of my cards photographed.  Yay!  You can see the rest of them HERE.
