It's the last day of the month! Yep.. things are a little tricky this year - 29 days in February since it's a Leap Year! So confusing!!! LOL!!! But I'm so happy because it's time for my 12 Kits of Occasions reveal. So what is the 12 Kits? It's a group of 12 friends who love to design cards. Every month we take turns providing a kit to the rest of the group. We all get the same kit - and on the last day of the month we reveal what we made with the kit. It's fun to see how some of our ideas are the same and others? Well not so much! LOL! Sometimes I scratch my head and think ... "how'd they come up with that?!!"
The kit this month... Amazing!! Take a look.....
My tricky ingredients to look out for this time? Let's see... the only things left from my kit? The embellishments if you can believe that! Look for wood and cork dots!
So where to start? Gosh I made so many things.. YEP! A new record for me... count 'em... NINE!! YES!!! 9 cards! So yes.. if you're wondering... I had a blast!
Ready to see more? Here's a list of the 12 Kits of Occasions Design Team and we have a special guestie this month too Marcia Hill!

Have a great day and thanks for the visit!
Excuse me, I have to climb back up on the stool... OK, just fell off for a moment! WOW-ie! Just look at all these watercolor beauties! Each one masterful (really? expected no less!) LOVE how you put the teacups on that pattern paper, with the black doily and scallop whimsy. Then the little touch of ribbon, fabulous! Gorgeous, artistic, elegant all! We had the same thought with the tag, love your frilly little additions!
ReplyDeleteWhere the heck do I start! Jeanne! Each one of these gorgeous , colorful , amazing cards should be on a cover of a craft book or craft magazine! You are one talented and gifted card maker! Let me tell you each one has my jaw on the floor! Love the gem card and the way you even watercolored the background on the orange card, wow! That first one with the pink blooms is also gorgeous , I messed mine up and would love a do over, lol. Hugs to a blessed crafter!

OH my goodness! I'm with Nancy and Marybeth picking myself up off the floor Jeanne! Every one of your cards (and tag) are just amazing! How do you pick a favorite when every one is a favorite??!! I am so jealous of how you used the butterfly background paper with the tea cups...I loved that paper but just could not figure out how to use it...I do now!! :0) Your water coloring is just phenomenal too...totally in love with your first card with the flowers and background and how bright and vibrant it is! Sooooo in love with your "orange" card too! You have left me with so much inspiration Jeanne! I have been so honored to play along side all of you talented and kind ladies...thank you, thank you!! :0)
ReplyDeleteAwesome card, Jeanne! What a wonderful kit!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful, Jeanne! So much to love about each and every one! Love the watercolors and kisses of gold throughout! Great layers to boot! You've rocked this one, girl!
ReplyDeleteOh my Jeanne, so many amazing cards!! You really did Nancy's watercolor kit justice!! Looks like we were channeling each other with our twin tag bows!!
ReplyDeleteOh, I knew you would rock this kit--but wow, so many! Your watercoloring is absolutely awesome! Lessons please.....have you concerned doing videos? I had a hard time just getting past the gorgeous pink magnolias against the dreamy background. But they are all so gorgeous! When I feel brave I'm going to try the orange blossom design. Yours is stunning!!
ReplyDeleteWow, these are all gorgeous works of art! I really enjoyed seeing everyone's fabulous cards made from Nancy's fun filled kit this month. You all rock!
ReplyDeleteWow, wow, wow. What an amazing collection of beauties. So colorful. You have really covered all bases, with elegant, cute, fun, bright--everything is here. I can see what a great time you had with your kit, and now I have some ideas for a few things I did not use.
ReplyDeleteWell way to start your post off with a gasp, that first card is absolutely stunning! Fabulous watercolouring on all of your cards and all your designs are fabulous!
ReplyDeleteWow, wow, wow!! You have been busy! Love these watercolor flowers especially!!! Mine never turn out that beautiful.
ReplyDeleteJeanne, I don't even know where to start. I'm seriously in stunned awe. I don't know if I've ever been quite so blown away by someone's cards with a kit. Water colors are definitely a strong suit for you!!! I love them all! Truly! The florals....swoon. Your colorful washes, the orange card....I'm just totally blown away!
ReplyDeleteOh. My. Stars. I'm accustomed to seeing your phenomenal layers and patterned paper pairings, but THIS! Blown away with the breadth of your stunning water-colours showcased here! WOW! What an amazing array of cards, Jeanne; talk about performing magic with these kit ingredients...
