The 12 Kits of Occasions - Christmas in July!


Hello....so sorry to be so late to the party, we have been without cable or internet for what seems like an eternity! It was down for a full week which means I am so,so far behind on commenting and I sincerely apologize for that. I am going to start fresh as soon as I can and want to thank everyone for their comments and understanding.


Thanks Lindsey!

This month's kits hostess is Marybeth from Marybeth's Time for Paper and what a sweet kit she made, so many wonderful and festive goodies to make oodles of holiday cards. Be sure to head over to The 12 Kits of Occasions blog to see samples of all the wonderful cards the rest of the design team has made.
Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by...enjoy your day!

  7. Sorry I'm late sweet friend! Running like mad lately! Always a treat to stop and visit with you! Beautiful cards... so many wonderful accents and embellishments like the last with the little border of gold stripe - so smart to use the bag too - I debated cutting it up, but you actually did it! I also love the patchwork of papers on the second one with the pretty bow, and smart to put that sentiment inside the frame! Gorgeous!

  9. Such a gorgeous selection of cards from this lovely kit, Kim ... actually, what a fabulous collection of cards you've been posting over the last couple of weeks! I've so enjoyed meandering through all your creativity (including the sewing) ... so inspiring! Sorry I've not been around for a good while, it's been crazy here, and now I'm having a lovely catch up! Empathising with you on being computerless ... me too, but not for the same reason! Miss you, mon amie! Big hugs & bisous, bisous, Anita :)

  11. Oh, I love the style of these cards, a bit folkloric. I think you've been so creative with use of papers on card no 2, great idea for leftovers, Nd the frame with flower on no 3 also caught my attention. Beautiful work!

  12. We've become so accustomed to our cable/internet, haven't we?!! How did you manage without being able to see the Giants???!!! Glad you're up and running again! I LOVE THESE!!! Stripes, polka dots, gold, greens... What a delicious kit, and what delicious cards you've made from it. Love 'em all, but maybe the last one just a bit more. Gorgeous!!! Miss you!!! Bev

  13. My dear Kim! I have NOT been ignoring your gallery; indeed, I have left comments on pretty much all your amazing cards, but a stroll back shows they haven't been sticking! Between blogger's shenanigans and our internet malfunctions (sounds like we’re experiencing similar issues), I'm about ready to pull out my hair! The plus side of checking on my comment status is seeing your fabulous creativity for a second go-round! Your unlimited inspiration and ingenuity has wiped away my weather-induced feeling of gloom (yet again a thunderstorm warning day!) and replaced it with mega-watt smiling. Your Christmas-themed cards are absolutely gorgeous! WOW! And your two fishies in the previous are such fun! Awesome masking!
    Now, please don’t catch up on all my posts…you have much better things to do! Start fresh, as I’m doing! Hopefully our respective internet/blogger fiascos will be corrected soon!
    Hugs~c
