Celebrating 38 Years!

Kara took the pretty photo of the kit for all of us.

 Welcome to the 12 Kits of Occasions for June! The theme is Wedding and Anniversary, and I am the host for this month!

Our guest designer is the very sweet and talented Lindsey from Occasional Crafting

We are 12 friends and designers , each month one person from the group sends out a kit to everyone. At the end of that month we post the cards that we all made from the same kit. Its fun to see the same products used in different ways. 

Thought I would show you the 12  messy piles before each one got wrapped in tissue and put in an envelope.

These fun little birds above are from Mama Elephant

 The gold embossed Calligraphy Scroll below is from

 Paper Source 

The stamp below is from Impression Obsession Love Is

The Confetti  dots are from Paper Source, I stamped them 3 times in different colors.

My husband and I celebrated 38 years this June. I gave him this card below, I know lots of pink. ( I got married when I was 12, jk)

 I love this outhouse from Impression Obsession  I think it makes a fun wedding card. Its silver heat embossed.

On the card below I used the tissue the kit was wrapped in, behind the Impression Obsession heart die cut.

 Be sure to head on over to the 12 Kits Of Occasions Blog To see the list of all the designers and their sneak peeks.

Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by and leave a comment.

Fast & Easy Shaker Card

Serendipity Stamps Challenge Blog

Hello! The challenge for you still remains…. a window card. The design team was asked to make an accordion window card.

Lot of photos for this accordion card.

Inside front

 I came up with an easy shaker card: I just filled the Clear Envelopes (I normally place my card in.) with sequins, cut it down a bit and sealed it with washi tape, then placed my oval overlay on top. So Easy! Not as firm as the other way but much faster and it still shakes and nothing sticks. 

The sale this week is 40% off your highest item in your cart, good through 6/24/2014
 Please stop by and see what the rest of design team came up with , I know they will not disappoint!

 I was telling Mary ( the owner of SSS ) how much I love the

surprise it is now a stamp! How fun is that! It a favorite of mine sung by Louis Armstrong. 

 I used the new Lighthouse Die and Triton Shell  for this card. I  used the shell as a rock edge of sorts.

 I have two layers of lighthouse, one is gold embossed, and the tiny bling is from, Hobby Lobby.
