Dueling Darling Divas May Card ~ The Perfect Blend--Admiration!

Here is my card for round #10 of our very friendly battle—not really much of a battle—more of a small clash…………………


What are the Dueling Darlings?  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 image was picked and how the Divas/Dazzlers created with it!


The theme this month is “The Perfect Blend”.  The hostess this month for the Divas is Carol, who sent us many wonderful supplies to choose from. This month there is a twist—we are celebrating our charming team leaders.  Jeannette is being honored by the Dazzlers and I am giving a huge shout-out to the Diva’s leader—Kelly!  Though I have not met Kelly in person (not yet at least), I consider her a very good friend.  She has had some huge struggles in the past year or so with health issues in her family and most recently with her dog Brandy.  With all of these issues happening all around her, she always has a cheerful comment on the threads on SCS and I can see a smile on her face every single day.  She is always leaving sweet comments on the cards that I have made and is always soooooo encouraging!  I truly admire her as a great mom to her wonderful children and a creative lady in her papercrafting.  I also want to add a short note about how sweet and wonderful Jeanette.  I have had the priviledge of meeting her this past February and she is awesome--so kind, warm, friendly, caring, funny and I too consider her a wonderful friend.  Love Ya Both!  And, we do know that both Kelly and Jeanette love their “Bux”-Starbucks, so the theme this month is centered around coffee.  This is such a great theme and I am so looking forward to see the other creations as well as reading what all of the Darlings have written about Kelly and Jeanette!  And, to hear how surprised--we hope--that they are the center of our blogs today!
