12 Kits of Holidays April 2013

 

Hi everyone! Its the end of the month, so you know what that means...its time for the 12 Kits of Holidays! This month was Christmas again and Sharron sent the kit :) She sent such a wide variety of supplies and I loved working with them. So I'm about 12 hours late on this one...I'm going to blame it on pregnancy brain...I thought I had until tomorrow morning! But I am here now and here are the cards I was able to create this month:

Paper Smooches Sparks Anything Goes April 2013

 

Hello everyone! So you've just got to play along this week at the Sparks blog, anything goes!! So I pulled out my new shopping cart die, "Woffers & Tweeters," "Hang Ups," "Nine Lives," and "Slang Gang" to make this fun card. And it was definitely fun to make :) And let me just say that the sentiment is perfect....picture someone with a Boston accent saying it ;) You have a whole week to play along and a chance to with a PS gift certificate. Now to give you even more inspiration, check out what the DT created:

Paper Smooches Sparks Cool Shades April 2013

 

Paper Smooches...my favorite! Time for my monthly Cool shades post. This time I used "Woofers and Tweeters" (the owl) "Pip Squeaks," and "Pretty Phrases." I also used Duo Die 2. The patterned paper is from PTI, and so is the cardstock. The twine is from the Twinery. Check out the colors we were given to play with this week:

Craft Dash #15

 

Back with another installment and another video for the 10 Minute Craft Dash! So as you'll see in the video I popped up the frame and THEN decided that I wanted my sentiment on the frame...don't do this at home! The sentiment did not come out. I did go in after the challenge and just outline those letters that didn't come out in a pen which I would have done if I had it handy during the dash. Anyway, it took me the full 10 minutes to create the card, as usual. I was quite calm at first thinking this would be an easy card...I was wrong on that one! Here are the colors that we were given:

 

 

I used Paper Smooches new "Wicked Nauticool," Duo Die #2, PTI cardstock, and the chevron embossing folder is SU sizzix. And without further ado, here is our video, me, Jen and Jennifer. Although we had no wigs this week, we still had fun! Enjoy :)

 

 

Paper Smooches Sparks Trend Watch April 2013

 

The trend watch for this month was butterflies, so of course I first thought to use "Flap Happy!" Then I used "Bold Blooms," and "We Connect." The "love" is also one of the PS dies that I got in my most recent order. The cardstock and button are from PTI and the twine is from the Twinery. There is a week to play along with this challenge, so why don't you give it a shot? Check it out here.

 

 

And now you can go check out what all the other talented members of the DT created!
