12 Kits of Christmas {March Kit}

Hi everyone!  Here's to a great start to your weekend!  We start our baseball season this weekend at a baseball tournament out of town.  No sand this weekend but lots of sun to be had I'm sure!  Can't wait to see how the Bulldogs do on their first outing!

On to the March installment of the 12 Kits of Christmas!  This month our hostess was Suzanne from The Card Yard.  I had the pleasure of actually meeting Suzanne last year and she is such a sweet person with a fabulous accent!  Each month one of us send goodies out the others in the group and then we post our creations on a group post day!  Kind of a fun blog hop!  So let's see some simple Holiday cards I created with all the goodies Suzanne sent!  I only managed to squeak out 2 cards but there are oodles of stuff she sent that I didn't get to use.  I think what is so fun about this group is that we get to use products from other companies and try them out before we buy them!  Let's see what Suzanne sent out.....

MARCH KIT

Here is my first card using a wonderful traditional image of Santa Clause and his reindeer called Santa's Flight from A Muse Studio.  I went with traditional colors and kept it simple.  What you can't see on the card is all the silver accents I added to the sleigh, stars, and reindeer.  Much better in person!

My second card uses an adorable folk artsy snowman image from Print Works.  Again kept it simple except for some Copic coloring.  I love how the image takes center stage and so I left it sentiment-less on purpose.  This could be used not only for Christmas but for a Thank You or just Winter Wishes. 

Well, you need to go check out the rest of the 12 Kits of Christmas blogs for tons of holiday inspiration!  We'll see you next month where we have another new hostess and some great new goodies to use!
