The 12 Kits of Occasions - Christmas in July!


It's the last day of the month! Time for The 12 Kits of Occasions! We're a group of 12 friends who love to paper craft. Every month we take turns providing the rest of the group with a kit. We all get the same thing.. 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 designs look the same - and how others can look so very different. 

Our theme this month is Christmas in July and our hostess this month is Kim Heggins from Cupcakes Cards and Kim! Kim is a clean and simple gal who always adds just the right touch of embellishments. Kim's the "cool mom" who takes her daughter to rock concerts and loves all things adorable.. especially Mickey Mouse! And yes.. she does know how to bake and she can make a seriously awesome cupcake!
Take a peek at what she has for us this month.. pretty papers from American Crafts, images from Avery Elle, My Favorite Things and Hero Arts. There's dies from Neat and Tangled, Taylored Expressions and Papertrey Ink! And of course there's some sparkle and shine.. glittery paper, sequins and colorful twine! I made 5 cards!!


Ready to see more from the rest of the team? You can see a sample from each of the design team members here on THE 12 KITS OF OCCASIONS BLOG. You'll also find links to each of the designers (and our special guests) and a complete ingredient list for each of the kits.

We're wanting to include YOU in our monthly posts and just about every post this year has had a give away of a kit so you can play along. Check out the blog to get all the details!

Wow Jeanne!! Your cards are all so amazing! The glittery snow drift had my heart swooning right from the start. The color blocking with the Bethlehem border is fabulous and so striking. All of your cards are pure eye candy!

Good Morning, Miss Jeanne! I think I could pick your cards from any lineup. Colorful, layered loveliness, bright happy and brilliant layouts! LOVE! Favorite? Has to be the Bethlehem scene with the color blocked bg.
But each one is so special on it's own. Love the sweet sledding miss on the glittered snow too. Her bright primary colors are a standout! Have a great week!

Oh, Jeanne, these are such fun! Love how you've incorporated your wonderful bright colors In your designs. Your adorable Pure Innocence girl looks so happy sledding through the confetti snow. And the color blocked sky with the Bethlehem border is amazing. I always enjoy how you add special touches, like a furry pup with a Rudolph nose!
