It's Kitchen Sink Monday again, and the Crew has got some great designs in store for you today! This time around it was Julie Masse's turn to choose the challenge, and she asked us all to make a set of thank you cards. You can check out creations from all the Crew members by clicking the links below:

Maria Colosimo, owner
And here is my set of 8 Thank You cards...
I wanted to make this as a gift set for someone, so I created 2 of each color-combination and if you stop back later today, I'll hopefully have the tote I'm making to package these in completed for you to see!
Aren't these tulips beautiful? You'll see from the first couple of Crew links that I'm not the only one that loves them! This is a newly released set called 3-Step Bitty Tulip Bouquet! I've always loved tulips (my first kitchen even had tulip wallpaper!) so I was super-excited for this new set! Once I knew what colors I was going to use, these came together pretty quickly especially since I used the same green inks on all the leaves except one set. Plus, I used almost all Stampin' Up! inks and that makes color coordination so much easier! (All supplies and colors used are listed below my signature.)
We'd just LOVE it if you'd join our challenge today and create some thank you cards! Post your creation on Paper Craft Planet, and put a link to your photo in the Kitchen Sink group so everyone can take a peek! Remember to tag your photo with KSS so that it can be added to the exclusive Kitchen Sink albums, too!
