1. TGSB was shown on a different personal blog of mine and the posting had 12 photos of the kit with some categories sorted pics and then how I wanted to use the kit for 6-8 planned cards=

*large/full sheets of cardstocks

**the mid-gray with white dot is showing at the bottom edge

2. mini kit for red/gold/green pic how I had pre-planned...again, as I started playing with layout, colors, prints, the taupe color of the cut-apart card gave me some difficulty....if I have time I might make another red/gold/green card with non-kit supply items....

**I wanted an elegant look for this card and the pre-planned selection was revised. I only used the light gold sheen card base and the cut-apart dove panel from this kit photo.

3. This mini-kit pic was for another pre-planned Christmas card =

**The plaid strip comes from what was leftover from making this card.
