12 Kits of Occasion ~ July

Hello friends~  I'm so sad to see July end because that means that summer is coming to a close here in the north east.  On the upside of that, the end of the month brings the gals from 12 Kits of Occasion together, as we post our projects using kits from our friends.  
This month's kit was from one of the sweetest and kindest gals online, Marybeth Lopez of Marybeth's Time for Paper.  She is flawless in her card making designs and her kit was such a great representation of her sweet self.

Here's the cards I made using her kit:

Please let me just interject in here and say how cute are these little guys from Purple Onion Designs!!  That little mouse just had to take a snooze on the big leaf from the Fushcias.  I just couldn't resist!!  


I was hoping to get more cards made but July has been a busy month for me and much of it has been spent outside enjoying the sunshine while it lasts.

Thanks Marybeth for such a fun-filled kit this month!
Be sure to visit the 12 Kits of Occasion blog to see how all the gals were inspired to use Marybeth's kit.  Please come back to visit me at the end of August as it's my turn to host and I have a special guest joining us.

Thanks for stopping by!

Hi my friend! Birgit, your cards ALWAYS inspire, and this post is no exception! The coloring on the fuchsias look like they could dance off the card, and I'm still tickled by the snail and napping mouse on the big leaves. Love the simplicity of the beach card too, simple, elegant and sends a summer 'thank you' perfectly! xoxo

Beautiful cards representing summer and it looks like it was a fantastic kit to own. Your work is wonderful and your cards are awesome. You certainly colored all the images well.

Your 3 cards are FABULOUS Birgit!! I love the coloring on your Fuchsias and Nancy was right...they do look like they could just dance right off the card! And the sleeping mouse on the leaf...oh could that be any sweeter?!! And your Summer scene card just makes me smile...Summer really is the best, isn't it?!! Well done my friend, well done!! :0)

Fantastic cards Birgit! I took a big long drinking in on the coloring of your fuchsia ~ wow! I love your peaceful beach scene, wish I was there! But I have to say the little mouse and snail on the big leaves in the polaroids is my favorite card!

Sharron said...

I am so in awe of your fuchsias! Your coloring is so gorgeous and I adore the wonderful sentiment you chose. The mouse and snail could not be sweeter! What a great idea to show each on one of the leaves. I used so many of the supplies this month but luckily still have the tiny mouse. Thanks for giving me inspiration on how I can show him off! Wonderful beach scene too--love your water!

Ok... that little mouse asleep on the leaf and the snail is just too darn cute! Wow amazing coloring on the fuchsias they look beautiful! I figured July was just too busy for everyone so happy some cards were simple to make. It's a blessing to be busy sometimes!

Thank you for such kind words sweet girl!

I could only wish our summer would start to go away its been so hot!

Fantastic cards for the 12 kits, Birgit. Love that fuchsia card. I have that stamp set. Have a great week, my friend. And your black and white card is so adorable.

Hi Birgit! I love how you worked with the kit - you saw it in a unique way from everyone else. The frame of pattern paper with the fuchsias and sweet sentiment, the little critters inside Polaroid dies (the little mouse sleeping on the fuchsia leaf) adorable! The tropical scene is absolutely dreamy!

Each card is perfectly unique! Love the fuchsias, I have two marvelous baskets of them hanging on the front of my house. The next 2 cards are just as lovely....great designs and layouts!

Michelle said...
