Feel The Love

It is the 15^thof the month and that means we get to show off another Dueling Darlings challenge. Debbie and I are the Darlings who came up with the challenge and theme for the teams this month-I am a Diva and Debbie is one of the Dazzlers.

 

Debbie and I started emailing back and forth on thoughts and ideas for our kits way back in September or October last year.  Debbie provided the image for both teams--so you will see the same sentiment on all of the cards.  We decided on the theme "Feel the Love", since we are posting the day after the Love Day--Valentine's Day.  We then did a bit of conspiring...... and I am sure that does not surprise anyone.......... We are honoring our founding Mother's, I mean Darlings--Kelly and Jeanette.  Now, of course, they do not know this twist.

These are the details that I sent to the Divas:  Here is the deal—this month we are honoring each of our founders, Jeanette and Kelly.  (They are getting a different set of details, without this part).  So—please use the theme Feel the Love to show your love to your leader or to both of them if you wish.  You can tell of some of the things you “love” about them or point out some of the things you know they love—books, family, God, coloring, etc.  Add your own details if you wish.

I think it is quite amazing how similar these two awesome ladies are.  They do both love to read, place their family in high regard, love to laugh and joke around (well, maybe one more than the other...............)  They do love to color their images and love layers on their cards.  And, finally, I truly believe both of these women strive at all times to follow Galatians 5, verses 22-23-- 
The fruit of the Spirit is Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness and Self-control. 

With all of those thoughts, I created a card that I feel is so fitting to these two women I am proud to call a friend!  And, I do promise that I will meet Kelly in real life sometime soon.  I used Labels 7 as I die cut for the image to emphasize the outline of a book--you can decide which book is highlighted. I also used a card I received from Kelly a year or so ago as a guide for the layout--love the layers!

Here is the inside of my card as this too is a tip I gleaned from both Jeanette and Kelly--decorate the inside too!

 

I do hope that Kelly and Jeanette Feel the Love in this card.  So, on this post- Valentine's Day, I along with my counter-part Debbie as well as all of the Darlings, wish them both a wonderfully, sweet day!
