Summer seems to be winding down! I'm really not a hot weather person (actually it's the humidity!) and I'm always happy to have the temperatures come down! So I enjoyed playing with this very easy end of summer kit. See all the wonderful supplies in Lindsey's photo below. There is also a list printed on the 12 Kits blog. Our talented hostess this month is Michelle from Pretty Periwinkles. She does such wonderful cards with clean designs and beautiful use of colors.

As I said, this kit was especially easy to work with--the cards almost made themselves! It's always fun to just lay all the supplies out and mix and match then see designs magically come together. For my first card I used the pretty blue patterned paper for a sky and arranged some images.
This next design is a combo of gorgeous patterned papers that Michelle sent. I did die cut some embossed paper with a new die from The Greetery. I couldn't resist ordering it as I knew I would love it--and I do!
This background paper was die cut so I had a scalloped edge. Then it was quick to arrange the blooms and leaves that were already colored and die cut. The sentiment is from Simon Says Stamps.
This was fun! Michelle wrapped our supplies in some patterned paper which I cut for this card. Polka dots are always a favorite! The large sentiment was another must-use! I fussy cut the bear and heart-shaped balloon and used some twine Michelle had tied around some tags.
This gorgeous die cut was glued to one of the pretty papers and then I just placed one of the sentiments on top.
This is such beautiful paper! I wish all the gold would show up better in a photo. I used a medallion from the kit and some of the flowers. The sentiment is from The Greetery. I have been sending cards every week to a friend who is extremely ill so this one will be for her.
A big thank you to Michelle for an awesome kit! And thanks to you for taking time to come by for a visit. We'll see you again in September--the last day of the month!
Hugs,
Sharron
