It is the 15th of the month and that means we get to show off a new Dueling Darlings challenge. For the January Challenge, Tracie and I are the Darlings who decided on the theme. Tracie is a Darling and I am on the Divas team.
The theme or challenge we picked for this month is "Soup--Get Well". This is what I wrote for the Divas: With most of the winter season in full swing in the Midwest, I am sure many of us are having soup on a regular basis. It is also very good when someone is sick --get out the Chicken Noddle Soup. So--I sent a favorite Whipper Snapper stamp to the team!
One thing I like to often do is layer ribbons on my card. The bottom layer is a taupe satin, then a vanilla grosgrain with a taupe baker's twine in the top. I really like the layered look--ribbons as well as cardstock and papers--right?!
Here is the inside of my card:
As in many of our challenges, we also asked for additional information. This month, we asked for each member to tell us their favorite soup or share a recipe.
My favorite soup is Clam Chowder--New England style. We are going to be in Maine for two weeks in September of 2016 and I know I will have some great bowls there! A favorite recipe this past year or so since we have been on a low-carb diet in our house is Chicken Bacon Crock Pot Choder. Here is a link to the recipe. It is so yummy--low carb, but not low calorie......................
I hope you enjoy my card and maybe try a new recipe!
