12 Kits of Occasions - Periwinkle Party!

Hi my friends!  Welcome to the grand finale for 2018 - our December installment from the 12 Kits of Occasions team!  Hope you have a few moments, while you prepare for bringing in the New Year, to spend some time with us!

Michelle Leone is our Hostess for December … her Kit? Periwinkle Party - so packed with goodness and bright fun papers to play cards with!   Thanks, Two Ls for this wonderful finale!  Take a peek...

So grab a cuppa, and here are my final 12 Kits of Occasions cards!  It has been such fun being a part of this fabulous group … thank you to Tracey, and the crew, for inviting me to join - has it been three years?  or four?  Yep, time flies when you've had as much fun as we have each month!  You won't miss me one bit when you learn that the fabulous Ms. Marcia Hill is joining the team! 

 "I'm so impressed by you!"

 

"The Boss always buys the drinks, right?"

"I don't give up an acorn to just anyone!"

 "All you do is just exactly what I need at any given moment!"

 

"Let's face it... it can't get much worse!"

 So that's just about it...I'll not say goodbye, my friends, just … be seeing you!

"Llama spell it out for you... THIS much!"

and here are his words of wisdom:

 

Thanks Time Out Team for this great pleasure!!  I'm heading over to see all the wonders you've created!

CAS[E] this Sketch #302

Hello, my friends!  Christmas is only five days away now... since I've gotten all of my assignments done ahead, and sent all [119] those cards early, there's a little more time to relax these days... and maybe a little cookie baking! 

Donna is our Sketch #302 artist …

I had a little fun with it - Donna is sweet as honey, so I know she won't mind one bit!

I've had this adorable set from PTI for years … it's seeing the light of day for the first time in as many years!  See if you can find the Sketch - and please don't mind my tongue-in-cheek custom sentiment!  lol

You will have extra time with this Sketch, as we'll be taking our Winter break, but will return January 3rd. 

I want to thank you each for spending time with me this year … you are my family, and each visit means the world to me. 

Merry Christmas, my friends!!

Time Out #125

I'm joining those fab gals at Time Out this month as their guest designer!  It's time for their Inspired by Words theme … what better words to make our spirits bright?

I went right to the word friends … don't we wish we could all gather for a little spa day/crafty day!?

Won't you join me … the Time Out challenge DT have such wonderful inspiration, as always!

Time to finish cards, wrap gifts, and decorate is growing mighty short now … let's go sledding instead!!  Laurel, you DO know how to bring the kid out in me!

 

 

If you have a little extra time?  We'd sure love to see one of your handmade Christmas cards in our IB # 51 gallery! 

 

Merry Christmas, friends!
