It is the 15th of the month and that means another Dueling Darlings challenge. Our hostess this month for the Divas is Jamie and she sent us a wonderful kit. The theme that April, the hostess for the Dazzlers and Jamie came up with is to create a masculine card since Father’s Day is this weekend.
Jamie also asked us to give a shout-out to the special guy in our life. That would be my brother, who is 18 years older. He is definitely a father figure in my life and his two sons are like brothers to me—Love Ya Tony!

I love the way you used this kit! So nice that you sent a shout out to your bro!! Mine is 16 yo than I, so he also played a rather large role in my life since my Dad passed when I was just 14.
