Happy August, happy end of summer, happy that school is starting again, so many things to be happy about. August is my month to be hostess for The 12 Kits of Christmas and I wanted to do something a little bit different for everyone to do. So instead of using the traditional colors for Christmas I decided to go pastel, soft pinks and blues with ivory and white. I was so excited when I found the patterned paper to use, it is Winterland by Fancy Pants Designs and as soon as I saw it back in the Spring I had to buy it, was afraid if I waited I would be out of stock. The next thing I did to be a bit different was to use digital images instead of stamped images. I remembered a few months back when Joyce used digital paper for her kit and that is what gave me the idea. I have been following this digital blog for some time and love all of the designs, just so fun and different and the digital paper prints so amazing, you would never know! The website is
Pink Petticoat and the owners name is Liz...Liz and her team are just so creative and have lots of free goodies too, that is how I got hooked! Anyway, be sure to check her site out, you will not be disappointed, I promise. Be sure to check out all the blogs that are listed below and see what amazing cards this incredible group of talented ladies has come up with. Thank you so much for taking a peek!
