Dueling Darlings Kickoff!
It is the 15thof the month and that means another Dueling Darlings challenge. Our hostesses for August are LJ-Laura Jean for the Divas and Terry for the Dazzlers.
I loved all of the papers and embellishments that Carol sent--I wanted to use all of it! I was able to add a few more elements to the inside of my card than I typically do. Terry and LJ also wanted us to share some of our favorite fall memories and they said it did not need to be sport related. Well--mine is for sure. I was a high school volleyball coach for 19 years, so that provided some wonderful memories for me-participating in the state tournament three times was a highlight! I also love Friday night high school football and Saturday afternoon college football games. My godson/great-nephew JL-Jack Lucas--is going to be attending UW-Whitewater as a Freshman this fall. He is also going to be on the football team and the university is about 35 miles from my house. I am sure the next 4-5 years will include attending many football games with my family. Then--Sunday is Packer Day and my card shows off the Green and Gold!
Here is the inside of my card.
