It's the last day of the month and I am excited to show you what I have made with this month's 12 Kits of Occasions kit...a super-deluxe, fabulous, die-cut laden package with so many ingredients...I made 5 cards and didn't even make a dent in the package. Our hostess this month is Jeanne Jachna of A Kept Life. I imagine Jeanne had to go out and buy herself a new die cut machine after all the cranking she did to supply us with this great kit. Here's a picture of this month's ingredients:

I wasn't kidding about the great big kit, was I? There's lots to look at this month and we have two guest designers listed below, so here are my cards:
This is my favorite...I loved the great big oval shaped doily and the beautiful and intricate die cut. Every single thing on this card is from our kit and I especially love the bold patterned papers Jeanne gave us.
Like I said, lots and lots of die cuts, especially beautiful florals.
I even made good use of the negative parts of the die cut!
I loved the little ticket and the woodgrain photo frame. I thought the embossed panel looks a lot like little tickets so the combination was an easy choice for me.
This last card is going to my mom on Mother's Day. Is that a lot of patterned paper, or what? I added yet another flower die cut, doily and mom sentiment.

Thank you Jeanne...this was one of my very favorite months for the 12 Kits of Occasions...there literally was something for everyone!
