Summer Fun! 12 Kits of Occasion ~ June

Hello all~ It's the last day of the month and that means it's time for our 12 Kits of Occasion post.  This month was my month to host and I chose brightly colored papers and warm, summer images to celebrate this wonderful season of summer.  A complete list of supplies I used, can be found over at the 12 Kits of Occasion blog under the Monthly Kit Supplies tab.
Thanks Lindsey for always making our kits look amazing each month with your brilliant photography skills.  (hugs)

Here are the cards I made using this month's kit:
I wish I had a stack of this fun flamingo paper from Echo Park!  Brightly colored flamingo's and fresh, juicy watermelon is the epitome of summer to me.   

This sentiment is like my motto... so true!!

 I used copics to color this lovely bird from Sweet N' Sassy Stamps to look like a blue bird.  I added light, feathery details with a white gel pen. 

Another card that just says "Summer" to me.  

I Love this darling image from Penny Black.  She's colored using copics and I added white gel pen accents and waves rolling on the beach.


And lastly, who can't help but adore these cute little penguins from MFT's Penguin Paradise.  Summer penguins are so much fun!

Now it's time to hop on over to the 12 Kits of Occasion blog to see how my talented teamies used this kit.

Thanks for stopping by!

Birgit so many pretty colours and your colouring is just amazing. Thank you so much for creating such a gorgeous kit for us all to play with I just love all the Bright summer colors! It was so many things and has kept that I have never seen before. Just like you like how I paired the flowers with the tropical leaves, I like how you paired the watermelon with them. Thank you so much!

This was such a fun way to celebrate summer, thank you, Birgit! What a fabulous kit! I love the way you used all the different papers, images, and die cuts that really make them shine! I have to zero in on what I would call the show stopper for me which is that little beach baby card! I love your coloring on her and that amazing beach and water. I also love all the white gel pen detail everywhere! All of your cards are wonderful, Birgit, and it was such a joy to see them all!

Such fabulous summer time cards, I love the watermelon seeds. The bluebird is colored so perfectly, so pretty! My favorite has got to be that little girl lounging on the beach, oh my she is just precious and have colored her so sweetly and love the waves you gave to the water, and great sandy beach!!

Thanks so much for such a FUN kit this month! I really enjoyed playing and thinking of summer. All of your cards definitely shown how much fun summer can be. Love how you mixed and matched the wonderful papers. Your bluebird is fabulous, so beautifully colored! And speaking of coloring, your beach baby is perfection! The water and sand look amazing and the little girl is so precious. Adore her plaid ribbon and polka dot suit! I'm so glad I have leftovers. I think I'll color my bird first! Hope your summer is as bright and cheerful as your wonderful kit!!

Birgit thank you so much for this wonderful kit! I love all of your cards especially that juicy watermelon with the flamingo paper, and the flip flops on the wood plank (boardwalk). I think your real passion is coloring.. you add so many incredible details.. the foam on the waves, the plaid and dots on the beach baby, and swoon.. that gorgeous bluebird! You are amazing!

Birgit...thank you so much for the incredible kit, it was like a piece of summertime coming in the mail! I had so much fun playing with all the wonderful goodies you included. The patterned paper was amazing, had a hard time cutting into it. Love all your sweet cards but your adorable beach baby is about as cute as it gets! Your bird is fabulous and beach penguin so cute! Thank you again for the simply wonderful kit.

Thank you for such a fun and darling summer kit Birgit! Oh my goodness I have to jump right to that beach scene with the little girl! It looks amazing what a great job! Love the watermelon card with polka dots too, they are all darling. I think that beach one needs to go in a frame!!! Glad I still have my flip flips to use.
