The 12 Kits of Occasions - April 2014 Edition


Wow...the end of April is already here, that means it is time for the 12 Kits of Occasions post and wow, what an amazing kit! Our fabulous hostess this month is Jeanne from A Kept Life and I am quite sure everyone knows who she is and have seen her wonderful and creative cards. Her kit was like crafting supplies on steroids, every time I would look at the kit I would see something that I missed the time before. Jeanne's kit was filled with spring, literally...it was like an explosion of springtime right on my desk, I felt the need to take an Allegra just in case I had an allergy attack from all the beautiful flowers. I was one of the lucky ones this month and received the self-assembling kit, honest...I would leave the room and come back and find a card or two pretty much already made, it was like my supplies all fell into just the right spot. Enough chatting and on to my cards. Be sure to head over to our 12 Kits blog for a chance to win a May Kit...just leave a comment there about what what your favorite thing about the month of May is. And be sure to see all the fabulous cards made by the rest of the crafty ladies. You can also find a complete list of Jeanne's supplies there too. Thank you so much for stopping by...enjoy the rest of your week!



 This card is for the current challenge at Retro Sketches #112

PTI 5 year anniversary...day 1

5th-Anniversary

Happy Anniversary PTI! They have so many fun daily challenges and sneak peeks to celebrate 5 years of amazing products, design team inspiration and ideas!

For today's challenge we were asked to make a card that was inspired by on of the design team members. Michelle Wooderson always inspires me...her cards seem to just make themselves and always look so quick and easy to put together.  Her list of favorites are pretty close to mine and I just love her style.
Here is my inspiration idea...

Well it has been a long week...

I had intended to make this a very productive week with some card making but by Monday afternoon I could feel a migraine starting and it lasted for about 4 1/2 days.  I had made a few cards to post but just never really felt up to it. So finally headache free and after a fun day at our school/church rummage sale I am ready to post the cards I made last week.

The first card is one for a girlfriend of mine who turned 62 this past friday.  I had planned to post it to the CAS-ual Fridays challenge but that never happened. Thanks for taking a peek!

The next card is one I made for Christmas and just love how fun it is.  Last Christmas my mom had used these little santa hats on gifts, so I made sure to save them all.  I knew at some point I would find a use for them and here it it.  Thanks for taking a peek!

Tea for Three

Happy Sunday!
I have been busy making cards today and was inspired by a card made by Lynn from The Queen's Scene Blog (she is an incredibly talented lady and I could not help casing one of  her cards).  After seeing what she did I decided to use the same stamped image and make three different cards.  I love the yellow on the cards, it's so bright and cheerful, can't help but smile when I look at them. Thanks for taking a peek!
