Hi and thanks for stopping by! It's the last day of the month and for me that means it's time to reveal what I made for The 12 Kits of Occasions! This month I'm the hostess with the mostest and I put together a snow day!
When selecting items for the kit I got to thinking about the magic of a snow day.. my own childhood racing down the big sled hill in the park, looking out the window for Suzy Snowflake, and nights when my own kids would go to bed with their clothes inside out. Did you know this is a ritual guaranteed to make snow fall and school be cancelled? Why does hot cocoa taste better when snow is falling? I still get that magical feeling watching snow fall, and when I leave the very first set of foot prints (or tire tracks) in a fresh blanket of snow. I love watching the birds at the feeder - they're easy to spot in the snow!! And finally why do I always LOSE MY GLOVES?
Here's a peek at the kit I put together.. stamped images from Pretty Pink Posh, Poppystamps, My Favorite Things, Neat and Tangled.. Snow & Cocoa Crate Paper, die cuts from Memory Box and more!
I invited a few friends to play too! I hope you'll stop by and say hi to them!
Cathy Weber - Empty Nest Crafter - an original member of "The 12 Kit's of Occasions" and the one who invited me to the group years ago has agreed to break her hiatus from paper crafting and join us this time!
Richard Breaks - That's MISTER Cardmaker to you! - I think he's absolutely fearless! Never afraid to alter and ink while I'm playing it safe! Richard's been my guest since my very first kit and I am so happy he keeps coming back for more!
And because we know the kit is more fun when YOU can play along too ... our lucky guest drawn from the comments on last month's post... Marcia Hill - Marcia's Stampin' Pad
Here's some cards I made with the kit!
