Dueling Darlings Birthday Post

It is the 15^thof the month and that means we get to show off another Dueling Darlings challenge. For 2015 we have shaken up the teams. We still either a Dazzler or a Diva, but our partners on the opposite team has changed.  I will be paired up with Terry and I am so excited for our challenge later this year.

For January, Judy and Debbie are the Darlings who came up with the challenge and theme for the teams this month.  Judy is a Diva and Debbie is one of the Dazzlers.  This is what Judy wrote for our team as the challenge:

Welcome to a new year full of new beginnings. Debbie and I chose "Birthdays" as the theme for the first duel in 2015. I can't remember if birthdays have ever been used as a theme before and thought it appropriate for the "Birth of a New Year"! Also I had a little self-serving motive as January is a month full of birthdays for my family and friends, as well as, my own. And I'm always looking for inspiration for creating new birthday card designs. I had a lot of fun putting this kit together and I hope you find inspiration in creating cards from all the items I included.

I loved so many of the components that Judy sent-I had such a hard time deciding what to use.  She sent us a couple of different images for us to chose from to make our card.  I went with the Stampin' Up Take A Spin image as I have never used it before.

Here is the inside of my card:
