While I want to make sure and go back and use up some odds and ends from past kits for this month's challenge, I had to take this month's new kit out for a little spin, too, right? So I'm kicking off with this bright and cheery Hello, Friend card, featuring all the coordinating colors from this month's kit - Basic Gray, Strawberry Slush, Pistachio Pudding & Bermuda Bay. Delicious! The background was a snap with our photopolymer stamps on hand, but as a tip, make sure you leave plenty of room around the edges on your block, so you can see ALL sides of you stamp clearly...
Paper Pumpkin All Shook Up Stamp Set & Kit; plus, Strawberry Slush & Whisper White CS; Pistachio Pudding & Bermuda Bay Inks; Wide Oval Punch.

I'm so excited to announce our first class of the year - a super-fun version of the Perpetual Calendar Kit found on page 17 of your Occasions 2015 catalog!
This calendar features a custom decorated and lined sheet for each month, where you can pencil in all your birthday ticklers! I've added some simple goodies and tricks to make these kits shine even more, and you'll have lots of leftovers from the kit as well! Keep it for yourself, or box it up for a gift! A fun way to warm up for the year ahead!
So, class is announced for Thursday, January 15 at 6:30 pm, or Saturday, January 17 at 3:30 pm. $20 gets you all your supplies, including 1 complete kit, a special treat from me, and snacks and refreshments. RSVP now so I can make sure to have your kit waiting for you!
