Traveling with my Friends!

Here are my cards for the March mystery image swap.  This is the first of two dual months--where we get two images to create cards with.  My good friends Kelly and Jeanette provided the images this time and even coordinated a theme for the month--Travel.  They both love to travel and both have seen some incredible sites in their trips--and I am sure will have more awesome ones in the future.

I too love to travel and we have three trips planned for 2015--a vacation in Colorado in June, a convention in July in Washington DC and a trip to New York City in September--one of my bucket list trips.  I am so excited for that one and we have tickets for two Broadway Shows--Kinky Boots and Les Miserables!

What's Your Brew ~ Duel

OK--this is sounding like a broken record, but I am late in posting--AGAIN!  This card was to be posted on the 15^th for Dueling Darlings. But--it cannot be posted unless it is done..................  so here it is today--a few days late!

For March, Kadie and Paola  are the Darlings who came up with the challenge and theme for the teams this month.  Kadie is a Diva and Paola is one of the Dazzlers.  Kadie gave our team this challenge:

"What's Your Brew?".   We were given a choice of working with Coffee or Tea, depending on  whether we were a  coffee or tea person.  

I really like both coffee and tea--but I went with the cute coffee image Kadie sent.  She send so wonderful papers to use along with an assortment of embellishments.  Thanks for a great kit to play with Kadie!!!

My drink of choice is a latte--that is my first drink of the morning.  We have a espresso machine at home, which is great.  I then many days will have a second or third cup of flavored coffee, to savor during the Today Show!
