12 Kits of Occasions - Garden Party!

February is my favorite Winter month ... guess why?  Because it's the shortest!!!  We also had fewer days to wait to play with our 12 Kits of Occasions team!!

Michelle Leone is our Host this month!  and who better to have a theme called "Garden Party?"  Two Ls, as I have always called her, sent us the prettiest little packet of garden variety gorgeousness... enough with the chit chat ... let's get this party started!!

Here is a tiny peek into Michelle's kit:

Thanks, Lindsey, for the photo!
 
You'll soon see that I've barely made a dent in it, but here goes - beverage ready?
 
"It doesn't get more beautiful than that...at any age!
 Happy birthday, gorgeous!!!"
 
"For a very HOPPY, and blessed, Easter!"
 
 
"Hope yours is blooming awesome!"

 
"You're always there as my shelter from any storm!"


"For a moment, this nest didn't feel empty at all!"
 
Last of all, and perhaps the quickest card I've EVER made!

 
 "Life is too short to have it any other way!"
 
With that I leave you ... perhaps you've stopped by from the 12 Kits of Occasions blog ... if not, please do head over there!
You won't bee-lieve your eyes...

  5. OMGosh Michele, that is a beautiful kit indeed! I am loving all the cards you have make with it so far. I had to pick my jaw up off the floor after looking at them all! My favorite is your quick card, I just think that is so dang cute!!! Love that bee paper! I also think that one thanks card is so unique in the way the thanks cut out. Been wanting a stamp that say's "be you (tiful). I think that is such an awesome phrase! Such fun dies cuts on these cards as well, I think you had a lot of fun creating these! Hugs, Brenda

  8. Hi Michele! Beautiful cards for us today (as always!) Love your thinking .. the little twine string for the bird cage.. the THANKS with the under laying pattern peeking out and the umbrella nested between the letters and OMG.. the fields of flowers and bunnies! A treat as always! I love your clever mind! (and yes a little jealous too!)

  11. There is some serious fabulousness happening here!! I didn't use the polka dot tag or the bird, So I'll be CASEing that delightful card. I'm completely smitten with the bunnies tucked in among the scalloped borders and flowers. That card is my favorite. I like that we used the same papers with the birdcage!!

  13. I love what you created using the little critters! Are you surprised!! Fun idea use the twine for a hanger. Your bunnies look so adorable! Is that a puffy tail I see? I knew I had to use all three and you managed to keep them all together, definitely a 'happy' card! Plus you used both scalloped borders too!! Fabulous collection all around!

  22. Michele, you seriously are the best. Boy is hallmark ever missing out not having you write their card sentiments. I adore how you used Mixhelle's kit, especially the bunny card with the fabulous layer of hills. So SO brilliant! And your pairing of products is so fabulous. Really love the card with the Eah Thanks dies as well.
