The 12 Kits of Occasions - January Edition


Hello...today is the last day of January and that means time for our 12 Kits of Occasions post. 
I have a bit of sad news to start with...both Renee - It's a Patchwork Life and Kara - K and R Designs are stepping down from The 12 Kits of Occasions due to family obligations. They will both be missed more than they ever will know...but to quote Tracey, they are only a mouse click away. We wish them all the best!
This month's hostess is Kelly from Gingham Girl and WOW! What a kit she sent, honestly I could make 3 or 4 dozen cards and still have goodies left over to play with. I love this month's theme too...Hello. I love having some sweet hello cards to send to friends and or to pop in a little make you smile gift bag. 
Be sure to head over to The 12 Kits of Occasions blog to see all the wonderful creations the rest of the ladies have made and a complete list of all the supplies used. Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by...enjoy your weekend.

  6. Kim I love how you utilized both parts of the speech bubble die! I never thought to use the bottom part and some patterned paper like that...definitely stealing that idea! I also love the neat shapes of the paper on the coffee cup card. The layouts are so intriguing!

  10. I saw that sneaky peek with the bike on the twine and about flipped! How cool! That green polaroid makes the perfect frame for the sentiment too! Beautiful collection of card Kim!

  11. Weren't the papers in this kit amazing. As always, you did a fabulous job using them in your designs! Wasn't it funny that we made almost exactly the same card. I guess creative brains must sometimes think alike--lol!! I also loved how you added the bicycle--so unexpected and fun!

  12. If I were 'selfie' photo inclined (so not!), you'd see me sitting here, mouth opened in awe at your gorgeous cards. Selfie 2 would be my follow up response: a beaming smile all over my face! A lovely set that have gone miles in lifting my spirits today; I can only imagine how tickled pink friends will be when one of these dazzlers appears in their mailbox! The smiley cups are too cute!
    Hugs~c
