Th 12 Kits of Occasions
A Whimsical Garden

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.
It's another beautiful kit this month.. this time it's by Hostess: Lisa Elton from My Paper Tales.

I've enjoyed getting to know each of the ladies in this team a little better every month. They're the best support group because we have so much in common.

Lisa's style always fascinates me. Her projects have a soft feminine look. She gravitates to pastels, and I love the details she adds - a perfectly placed bit of bling to satisfy my inner diva!

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. Lisa has a giveaway there for two lucky commenters too!


Thanks for stopping by and have a fantastic day!

Color Throwdown Guest Designer - ctd437 Roses

 Hi and thanks for stopping by!  I hope you're having a great day!   I'm getting settled back into my craft space.  There's only a little more tweeking that needs to be done - a little molding around the floors and cabinets.

I did a little purging - a few bags headed to good will.  I hope they find a good new home for my things!

The thing I'm finding the hardest to get used to ... I know.. it's only been one day.. give it time... is the rolling chair on the laminate flooring.  I'm sliding all over the place, and almost fell out of my chair a few times!   I feel like a kid again!!  I used to have carpeting, and the speed bump (that's what I called the foam padding under the carpet that pooled up into one place under my wheels) kept me out of trouble.  I never thought I'd be missing that!! LOL!  Happy for nice smooth floors!   Yep!  

Today I'm a lucky gal.. not just the craft room, but because I'm the guest designer this month at Color Throwdown!  I'll be honest, color challenges are difficult for me, but Color Throwdown also has a little inspiration photo and I'm playing off of that.  

Can you believe I looked and looked but not one single tulip set in my stash?    I had this brand new Rose Bouquet stamp and die set from Stampendous waiting to get inked up!  It even had a vase like the flowers in the inspiration photo! 
The dies on this set are really tight up against the stamped lines - I was really tempted to ink the edges so the white card stock wouldn't show but decided to leave them "as is".  The background is white card stock that I inked up with distress ink.  I added Tumbled Glass to the upper portion and it peeks out around the flowers.  At the bottom I inked with Crushed Olive as a base for the flowers so they don't look like they're floating. 
I stamped all the images with Memento Ink and colored them with Copic Markers.  I used three shades of color for each flower.  A few Clear Droplets from Pretty Pink Posh look like dew.  The simple "Hello" die cut sentiment is from Poppystamps.   

Need a little more inspiration? Check out projects from the Color Throwdown design team! Just click on their name to hop to their blog!

Now it's your turn! I sure hope you join me this month at Color Throwdown! I think you're going to love the challenges they have planned!

12 Kits of Occasion - Watercolour Wonder


It's the last day of the month!  Yep.. things are a little tricky this year - 29 days in February since it's a Leap Year!  So confusing!!! LOL!!! But I'm so happy because it's time for my 12 Kits of Occasions reveal.  So what is the 12 Kits?  It's a group of 12 friends who love to design cards.  Every month we take turns providing a kit to the rest of the group.  We all get the same kit - 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 ideas are the same and others?  Well not so much!  LOL!  Sometimes I scratch my head and think ... "how'd they come up with that?!!"  
The kit this month...   Amazing!!   Take a look.....
 This kit was put together by one of our newest members Nancy Penir from Artful Notions Blog!  Nancy spared no expense with this kit.  She chose the theme "Watercolour Wonder" and provided everything needed to start splashing..  including watercolors, watercolor pencils, brushes, masking fluid and so much more.  The kit included images stamped on watercolor paper, die cuts, ribbon, gems, and even pattern paper and ribbon if you didn't feel like painting!   

 My tricky ingredients to look out for this time?  Let's see... the only things left from my kit?  The embellishments if you can believe that!  Look for wood and cork dots!

 So where to start?  Gosh I made so many things.. YEP!  A new record for me... count 'em...  NINE!! YES!!! 9 cards!   So yes.. if you're wondering... I had a blast!
 Had to show you a close up with the glittery frosting!
This little kraft tag was included in the wrapping of our wonderful kit!  I couldn't toss it - so a beautiful wedding tag to share!   Don't you love the glittery ribbon?


Ready to see more?  Here's a list of the 12 Kits of Occasions Design Team and we have a special guestie this month too Marcia Hill!


You can also visit our blog - The 12 Kits of Occasions - where you'll see a sample from each of the designer and find links to their blogs.  There is also a complete ingredient kit if you see something you must have!  LOL!

 Have a great day and thanks for the visit!

CTD289 - Fuchsias

I'm So glad you stopped by today! I know I'm late but I hope you had a great Easter! With my dental work it totally slipped my mind that it was THIS Sunday. Lots of running around and special thanks to my chauffeur for driving me to the store. We survived the holiday - no family disputes. Holidays make me feel so dysfunctional.  I did make a pistachio cheesecake with a ganache layer on the top. Everyone in the family helped out - cracking eggs, measuring ingredients. I was certain it would be messed up - it's hard to keep track of who's doing what.. but it turned out perfectly. It might even have tasted better because I know all the love that went into it behind the scenes. 

I'm so lucky to be the guest designer this month at Color Throwdown.   I won't lie.. I still have a hard time with color challenges.  The first thing I do is pull a sheet of card stock in each of the colors so I can think on them.  I was certain I was going to use the inspiration photo and make something with a butterfly, but I got to thinking about this fuchsia stamp I bought but never used.  Next was picking out some patterned paper (you know I can't live without it LOL!)  Do you know how hard it is to find paper with any shade of purple in it?
I colored the fuchsia in Copic markers and then fussy cut them.  I layered some different pattern papers and then slipped in a little "get well" sentiment stamped in purple.  A sprinkle of sequins for a little bling factor and to pick up on the purple a little more.

Are you smitten with this color combination?  Maybe you should give it a try!  Need a little more inspiration?  I know the Color Throwdown DT will blow you away!  


Have a great day and I hope I see you at The Color Throwdown Challenge!

12 Kits of Holidays - June Edition

I am so excited to share with you my post for the 12 Kits of the Holidays this month.  If you are not familiar with my blog - the "12 Kits" is a group of 12 designers.  We each take turns supplying the others with a "kit" of supplies.  On the last day of the month we all post what we made with the same package of ingredients.  It's always fun to see the different ways each of us approach the kit - sometimes our creations look similar and other times it's crazy how different they can look.  
I am excited because this was my turn to host the group!  I put together all sorts of goodies - paper from Basic Grey and stamped images from WPlus9.  I am always worried that what I consider "awesome goodies" the rest of the ladies might have a hard time with so I made lots of things to show how "user friendly" this kit was - well for me anyway.... for the other ladies you'll just have to visit them to find out!!!  

 So here goes.....


 
 
Now it's time to see how the other ladies did with this kit.  Just click on their names to jump to their blogs.  There is a special treat this time too... an alumni guestie is joining in on the fun!
