Can you believe it is the end of the month??? We are already 1/12 of the way through 2014, time really does fly while you are being creative.  This month's kit is brought to you by Sharron from On Papillon Wings and what an amazing kit it is...so many wonderful goodies packed in to an envelope, I know mine was ready to explode once I started to open it up, so many wonderful and new treats to play with.  We also have a guest designer with us this month, she won our little contest last month, her name is Michelle from Pretty Periwinkles. Please give her a warm welcome, we are all so excited to have her join us this month. Another change this month is that Jeanne from A Kept Life is back with our team. Amy from Stamp-n-Paradise needed to step down. Welcome back Jeanne and Amy, I wish you all the best, you will be missed!  For a complete list of supplies and to see all of our team's creations, be sure to head over to our 12 kits blog, The 12 Kits of Occasions, there is so much to see, so grab a cup of coffee or tea and be inspired!  Thank you so much for taking time to stop by to peek at my cards...have a wonderful weekend!

  2. This is always so much fun...every month I see something I would never have thought of...and adding that little hanging bow to your heart card was one of my "never would have come up with it" moments! I also love your little birds on a branch card and am guessing you cut that super-sized elephant with your "Lucy"...right?

  3. Lots of pretty cards Kim! I'm hypnotized by that cool frame on the first one! Lots of great additions, the little ribbon tab, the sequins coming out of the elephants trunk, THE WASH, and that pretty knotted satin bow!

  5. They are all fantastic. What a great job you did. I am so jealous that you got a big elephant...I love the tiny ones I got. You thought of so many things that I didn't, and I really love how you used that little bird and the branch.

  8. Love seeing what you did with the papers. You always do such an amazing job! And I'm really intrigued with your first card. Love the sentiment over the edge and where did you get the die you used---love it. Your giant ellie is adorable and like Cathy I thought your idea of putting the bow with that doily heart was brilliant!

  22. What a fun set of cards this month, Kim! You did such a fantastic job with all of the different elements. My favorites are the little birdie perched inside the heart and the negative die cut "hello". It was a great idea to use the larger elephant, too. How cute is that heart for an ear and the sequins coming from his trunk? Wonderful job with the kit this month!
