Due to the East Coast storm on Monday, the October 12 Kits of Christmas post was delayed, but it's finally here!
Our hostess this month is Jessica, and she sent us a kit stuffed with images and sentiments from Paper Smooches and papers from My Mind's Eye.

This kit was an absolute delight to work with, as I have many PS stamp sets but none of the holiday sets (yet!). I made three cards and three tags this month, but as always I've saved some supplies for CASEing the rest of the gals. :)
First up is an adorable image from Santa Paws. Jessica included a Polaroid die cut in the kit, and I just knew I had to put Santa inside it.
Cardstock: Papertrey Ink (Aqua Mist, White)
Patterned paper: My Mind's Eye (Merry)
Stamps: Paper Smooches (Santa Paws, Joyful Greetings)

Other: The Twinery (baker's twine)

Next up is a CASE of a couple of Amy's cards. I love how she uses patterned paper to make large banners, and it was a great way to showcase a few of these from the kit.

I hadn't made many tags yet this year, and I thought some of these images would be perfect for them. We always give a Christmas gift to my brother's dogs, so I know just what I'll do with this one. :)
