Hi Friends! Glad you could stop by for a visit. Today I'm posting my 12 Kits of Occasions Just to refresh your memory - this is a group of 12 designers. We've each been assigned a month to create a kit for the rest of the group. We all receive the same kit and on the last day of the month we post the great things we made. It is fun and interesting to see how we all interpret the kit in different ways. My favorite part is looking at how someone might have used a particular "ingredient" that I just couldn't figure out!
This month is a little bittersweet for me. It is my last month with the group. I have exciting news that I will share in a few weeks about a new design team I am joining, but with the added commitments I've decided it's better for me to cut back on some of my obligations. I value the friendship of these ladies beyond what my words can express and I hope someday soon to be working with them again. In the meantime I hope that they don't mind if I stalk them from time to time. The good news is that original member Cathy Weber (who initiated me into this wonderful group) will be rejoining the team next month. The 12 Kits has had lots going on including a new blog site that I hope you will check out and follow.
The kit this month was put together by Amy from Stamp N Paradise. If you know Amy she is a very CAS gal. I think the kit she put together really reflects her style - take a look. Do you see anything missing? I just had to tease her and ask if she was trying to kill me - did you guess yet? Yep! No ribbon. Had to do like my friend Vickie always recommends in such cases - sit on my hands! In all honesty no one would have given me any trouble if I added my own ribbon - I just wanted to stay true to Amy's vision of the kit - by not "junking it up" and I hope I did that !
I made lots of things - I guess I'm going out with a bang so here goes!
