12 Kits of Occasions - Periwinkle Party

Hello friends.  I am beyond excited to tell you all that I am a member of the FABULOUS 12 Kits of Occasions team now!  This is a great group of 12 gals that each take a month and put together a kit with a theme, mail it out to each of the members and then post the creations they've come up with on the last day of the month!  I have been following this group for quite a few years now and have even played along as a Guest Designer a few times, but nothing compares to actually being a member of this group!  Michele Ferguson has decided to step down because of time constraints, and while I can never fill her shoes completely, I sure am going to have fun trying!

Michelle Leone is the team member who put together this months kit, and it is wonderful!  What a FANTASTIC kit to start with for my first time...my cards practically made themselves because of all the wonderful and beautiful elements Michelle added to her kit!  Take a look at what we all got to work with:

Michelle used DCWV's Serene and Elegant paper collection with the beautiful shades of blue & coral, lovely gold accents, pretty patterns, and more to start out her kit, and then added lots of images and sentiments for us all to work with!

My 1st card came together in minutes...love, LOVE the bright coral colored flower (Altenew's Hope) against the white Bold Borders: Polka Dots die (PTI) and also PTI's Penned Elegance II for the birthday sentiment.

Isn't that DSP gorgeous?!!  I used one of PTI's To The Point Edgers dies along with some of the beautiful ribbon Michelle included in the kit to outline the pointed edge.  I stacked the 3 "hope" dies together for dimension and added one of the Delicates dies and a few of the gems also included in the kit to finish this card.

Another quick and easy card using more of the DSP, ribbon, and die cut thank you and flower Michelle included.

Had to make a fun shaker card with the adorable squirrel holding a flower and adding the gems...used more of the DSP with one of my Pierced Feature Frames (PTI) to frame it out.

My last card came together just as easily as the rest with more of the beautiful DSP and those lovely ribbons in the blue and coral...and of course the other 2 Delicates die cuts and the Penned Elegance sentiment embossed in gold.

And here they are ALL together!  I could so easily have kept going but wanted to save some of the kit contents because I had learned from guesting a few times that I would see what the other gals had done and wished I had saved some supplies to CASE!  Make sure you stop by to see what the other gals did with their kits (HERE)...I know you will amazed as this was such an AWESOME kit to work with!  Thank you Michelle!!  And a BIG thanks to Lindsey for her beautiful photography skills too!

Thanks for stopping by today ... I love it when you do!
