The 12 Kits of Occasions - April 14

April Showers Bring May Flowers!  That's our theme this month.  Jeanne here this time and I'm absolutely delighted that I got to be the hostess with this flowery theme!





In the Spring and Summer I'm surrounded by color from the beautiful flowers in my yard.  The rest of the year I try to satisfy myself with a garden of crafty supplies in a rainbow of colors.   The kit I put together contains pattern paper from Basic Grey's "Fresh Cut" collection, yards of May Arts ribbon, stamped floral images from Clearly Besotted and  Serendipity Stamps, and loads of floral die cuts from Memory Box and Poppystamps.

I'm sad to report that Christina MacLaren has decided to leave the group.  That left us with two extra kits to award to commenters from this past month. We're so happy that Erin Thiem from Homemade Cards by Erin and Nancy Penir from Artful Notions  - are joining us this time. 

So sit back, grab a cuppa, and enjoy your walk in the garden with us today.
There is a special announcement at the end of this post!

Hello there.  Joyce here with a quick question--would you like to join us next month as a Guest Designer?   I am hostess for May, and I've got an extra kit for one lucky commenter who would like to play along with us next month.  Please leave a comment here on this blog and tell me what is your favorite thing about the month of May.  May is a big month for me, as it is my birthday, anniversary, and of course, there is Mother's Day.  How about you?

The 12 Kits of Occasions - March '14


Welcome to our spring edition!  Well, I sure hope that it's spring near you.  Kelly here as your hostess, with a weather report that is just more heavy wet snow here in upstate NY.  That means March came in as a lion and is going out the same way!

When creating my kit, I thought that the "Front Porch" collection by Pebbles was a perfect fit with its soft pastels, vintage florals, dots, stripes, plaid, gingham, and even a bit of navy blue!  I filled bags with mini flowers, leaves, birds, butterflies, bunnies (cotton tails included) and Easter eggs.  You will see products from Waltzingmouse Stamps, Papertrey Ink, and Memory Box.

So off we go, with a spring in our steps, to see what these lovely ladies have created with the kit!
