Hi there! The end of month means 12 Kits of Occasions and this month it's all about LOVE! Lindsey Larsen, sent us a wonderful kit full of gorgeous papers,  die cuts, and stamped images most of which I didn't own, so it was oohs and aaws as I went through my treasures. Fun, fresh and new! Hope you have a beverage close by, there's a LOT to share. I watercolored, pieced & placed this floral over  PTI's Leaf and Sprigs Frame die I had left over from another project, and added the 'love' die cut with a few of the coral sequins Lindsey gave us. Tried to keep with Lindsey's color scheme while working with this kit. I adored this white embossed stamped image Lindsey sent.  It was so hard for me to use it! Truly, that's the hardest part of getting these gorgeous kits, wanting to hoard it all! Watercolored this one too.  This unassembled box came in the kit that I paired with some of Lindsey's  paper, and that adorable stamped tag & twine. Just loved these pineapples, so paired them with 'love you' die cut. With the seed beads Lindsey sent, made this shaker. This cute critter I paired with 3 wood hearts I first GAed then copic colored red. Loved coloring this cake so much, broke down and ordered it from  Concord & 9th! Awning die: PTI And finally did this one with a certain special team member in mind. Thank you Lindsey! Loved every bit, & working on 3 more Valentines. Just ran out of time to post them! Lots to see from the other 11 Kits Teammies, sadly saying goodby to Joyce,  and hello to our newest member, Brigit Norton! Also welcome 2 guests this month, Kathy McCloskey from Bdlakebum, and Leigh Penner from To the Full. Can't wait to see what each one did with the same  gorgeous corals and 'love'-ly goodies. editing to add the fox card to Darnell's Nbus Challenge 10.
