12 Kits of Occasions - Summer Fun!

It's the last day of the month and you know what that means right? It's time for The 12 Kits of Occasions! The 12 Kits of Occasions is a group of 12 friends who all love to paper craft. Every month we take turns making a kit for the rest of the group. We all receive the same kit with the same items. On the last day of the month we reveal what we each made with the kit. It's fun to see how we used the product in different ways. Sometimes the projects are similar and sometimes they are very different.

Our hostess this month is Birgit Norton - Crafting While I Wait! Her kit is a ray of summer sunshine in paper! There are beach going penguins, palm trees and pretty hibiscus flowers! The papers are from Echo Park's Summer Fun Collection. When I was done making there were only two things I didn't use.. the pretty green and pink sequins, and the twine. Very strange because I'm always adding embellishments whenever I can. I can't keep my hands off the PPP jewels I guess! 

I made SIX CARDS! So here goes!
