August Create w/ Crystal

Hello and welcome to my Create w/ Crystal monthly cardmaking "club!"  Earlier this year, I asked some fellow crafty friends who would be interested in a FREE little "kit."  Every month I send each member a small envelope of supplies that they will have to use to create a card.  Everyone in the group will receive the exact same supplies.  Once they have completed their card, they mail it back to me (in a self-addressed stamped envelope) and I share all their cards with you!  The idea is to see how vastly different our cards can be, despite all using the very same products. 

You will notice that some people submitted two cards and that's entirely okay by the "rules."  They were given instructions to create whatever they wanted with their supplies.  If they had enough for two cards, that's great.  But, they can also submit scrapbook pages or any other papercrafted item as well!

First, let's take a look at what was included with the July kits:

Kit includes:

1 - 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" sheet of Daffodil Delight cardstock
1 - 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" sheet of Whisper White cardstock
1 - 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" sheet of Pear Pizzazz cardstock
1 - 6 x 6" sheet of Lawn Fawn Scalloped paper in yellow
1  - 6 x 6" sheet of green patterned paper
1 sheet of stamped sentiments in Daffodil Delight and Pear Pizzazz
1 stamped sheet of lemons and limes
