This month I am the hostess for the Divas of the Dueling Darlings. So, if you do not know, after 4 months, here is the scoop of who we are. We are a group of friends that met on SCS, travel in each other's swaps and have taken a new twist on crafting to "duel"!
We, the Dueling Darling Divas, have one image/card kit to work with and the other half, the Dueling Darling Dazzlers, have a different image/card kit with the same theme! The object is to see what we came up with using this theme, what stamp was picked and how the divas/dazzlers created with it!
So, as this months hostess, along with Michells for the Dazzlers, we decided on a theme of Thanksgiving and Gratitude. There was a twist again this month—you are to tell in your post who or what you are grateful this year. I will add that part at the end.
You may have thought the twist was doing two cards--no! That is just me. As I completed the first card this weekend (while at a Retreat in Green Lake), I admired it, showed it to my friend Deb who was on the computer making a CM Storybook on her great-niece Kennedy and then realized I forgot the sentiment. So, I created another card as I had additional supplies. And, the Divas will state they probably also had lots of extra supplies--I sent them many choices.........................................
Plan A
Image—Horn of Plenty by Whipper Snapper
Cardstock—PTI Summer Sun, Gina K Ivory, Wine with Everything, Chocolate Kiss, Basic Grey Indian Summer
Ink—Palette Sienna
Accessories—Felt Leaves, Brown and Wine Brads, Copics, Orange fiber, Corner Rounder
Plan B
Image added--Stampabilities Bountiful Blessings
Accessories--Brown Ribbon
The November Twist--I am grateful for my health. I have been trying this year to be better in getting in more exercise--I have joined a gym and even have become a part of a weekly Boot Camp. I plan to keep my pledge going and continue to improve!
Now make sure to stop by to see what the other Divas have created with the kit that I sent. Then your final stop will be a link to take you to see what the Dazzlers created! We are a big group of 14, so this might take awhile ~ and this is just a friendly joust ~ no winners, certainly no losers! Just a craftin', loveable group of friends taking on a monthly joust at card making! And, be sure to read what everyone is grateful in this time of Thanksgiving!
which will bring you to the 7 Dazzlers Creations. I hope you enjoy looking at our creations and the stories of our blessings......................
