The 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 Marybeth from Marybeth's Time for Paper. If we were allowed to choose our family instead of being born into the ones we have I'd pick Marybeth as my sister. She's my voice of reason and a blessing in my life. She's also a California girl so this "summer fun" theme is close to home. I picture her poolside or walking the beach with a margarita in hand. Why do I think it's summer all year in California? Answer.. because I live in the Midwest.

Her kit was a fun mix of all things summer - no trixies. I tried to use as much as I could because I swear.. some of the pieces she cut by hand! How sweet is that? 

I had to do at least one shaker card because I can't see a sequin without thinking of Marybeth! 
This card is a tribute to ther lemon tree in her yard - someday I hope I can see it in person!

Want to see more projects made with this kit? Head on over to The 12 Kits of Occasions blog where you'll find a sample from each of the team members as well as a list of ingredients in the kit.


Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

  2. Oh my goodness Jeanne, could your cards be any sweeter?? Not only are you the queen of layering but your cleverness far exceeds me. I love the layered sun with the palm tree and sea gulls. Such a great idea using something as simple as circles. Your bunny shaker card is so darling too! I love the colors you used for both the sequins and the frame. Beautifully blended and spritzed. All your cards are frame worthy!

  5. Looks like you had a lot of fun with this kit from your friend, Jeanne! I adore the bright and vibrant colors, the summery themes and the wonderful card designs. The one card with the 3 circles for the sun is very clever and the shaker with the Purple Onion bunny on a swing is so fun. Excellent work!

  6. Jeanne, you always know just what to put together to make each element pop! Those stripes could not be a more perfect backdrop for those lovely fuchsia, I want to lie on your beach, and I LOVE the splashes of color you've added to Marybeth's bunny-swinging frame!

  8. Oh, Jeanne, these are all so fabulous! LOVE all the wonderful colors, bright and cheerful and perfect for summer! Love how you added gulls to your great CAS design. And bunny on the sunshiny design is even more adorable as a shaker. The pink & white stripes are so pretty with the fuchsia and I love the cool citrusy design!
