Second Helpings - June 2015

It is leftover month at the 12 Kits of Occasions and there always is. Each of us have oddles of past kit supplies leftover to play with and make more projects with. So on leftover month that is exactly what
we do.

We have also had quite a few guest designers during the first half of this year. We were lucky to have Taunya Butler in February when we did Bye, Bye, Birdie and we are thrilled to have her back with us again this month. Be sure to visit her blog and see what she has created. Below is one of the cards she has to share.

May - Let's Hear It For The Boys!



Yayyy!  It's time for another 12 Kits of Occasions!  If you're familiar with the group you know we are a group of friends who take turns putting together a kit.  We all post what we made on the last day of the month.  It's so fun to see what elements we used the same, or different.

Jeanne Jachna here today and I'm the hostess for May's theme "Let's Hear It For The Boys".  I suppose this theme is a little unexpected for me  (I think most people see me as a girlie girl).  I hope it's a pleasant surprise for everybody.


I put together a kit with Pattern Paper from Basic Grey's Persimmon Collection, and die cuts and stamped images from Clearly Besotted, WPlus9, Tim Holtz, Waltzingmouse and My Favorite Things.  You can see the whole list of ingredients by clicking on the "Supplies" tab at the top of the page.



I have some special guests this time.. a 12 Kits original member, and a very good friend.....

I'm Tickled Pink!




Welcome to the April edition of the 12 Kits of Occasions! Tracey here and i am the hostess this month for "I'm Tickled Pink". As soon as I saw the virbrant patterns Doodlebug Design's Hello Sunshine papers I decided that is what I was going to build my kit around.  I sent out papers, doilies, die cut flowers and embellishments in all shades of pink. Leave it to the designers on this iteam to do something fantastic with what they were given.

I am thrilled to share with you this month that "12 Kits" alumni and good friend Suzanne Dahlberg will be playing along with us once again as our guest designer.

Song of the South



Hello, Marybeth here today. I am the hostess for the month of March.
Song Of The South
(Farm, Southern Style)

At first this was a hard one for me, then I quit second guessing myself . When I think of southern I think of southern hospitality, cooking , magnolias and farm. Back in the summer I saw Teresa Collins: “ Hello My Name Is” paper.  I loved the colors and went with it. I have a wide mix of products for this month. All listed in the tab above under supplies.

 While putting this kit  together I kept thinking of our dear friend and original 12 Kit member Renee, she lives in the South! I asked her to join us and she said yes right away. We are all so happy that Renee could join us this month. Nice to have you back Renee!

Jeanne will be giving away one May Kit!  You have until mid April to leave a comment on this 12 Kits blog post for a chance to win. This will be one amazing Kit!
