Umbrellas Mean Spring is Near

 

It is the 15^thof the month and that means we get to show off another Dueling Darlings challenge. Laura Jean and Terry are the Darlings who came up with the challenge and theme for the teams this month.  LJ is a Divas and Terry is one of the Dazzlers.

These are the details that Laura Jean sent:  It is time for the March Duel!  Like most of you (except our friend Kelly who lives in Miami), I am so ready for spring and summer.  One of the many signs of spring is rain and umbrellas, and as March is "National Umbrella Month" we are going with an umbrella theme this month.

I really like all of the papers that LJ sent--they were from a Cosmo Cricket line that I had not seen before.  Birds and mushrooms and Gingko leaves and fun shapes!  Laura Jean also sent a manila folder and asked us to use it as a base.  I struggled with a design with the folder, so I decided to use a punch I have to make a background for the sentiment that looks like a file folder to me.  Hope that is OK..................
