Dueling Darling Divas November Card------Thanksgiving and Gratitude-Plan A & B

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......................
