Let me call you sweetheart :)

So .... I thought I was done with the Valentines for the year, lol.  But turns out, I was wrong! :)  It's the 15th of the month and that means the Dueling Darlings are back with another "duel" with our card kits!  For my new blog readers, we are a group of crafters divided into two teams - the Divas (where I'm at!) and the Dazzlers, and this month our hostess was the super sweet Carol!  She sent us the most enchanting kit!!  I was just drooling over the kit and petting all the gorgeous papers and embellies she sent, not to mention LOVED the Mo Manning image - Young Love :)  I had sooo much fun with this kit, including the part where I had to remake it because I glued the inside to the top of the card by accident!  Not fun!

So here is my card for the sweetheart theme.  I think I used all but 3 ribbons and one set of heart bling, my card is jammed packed inside and out :) I hope I did the kit justice, as I could have played with this forever and sadly didn't save much to make a second card ;)  This image just melted my heart when I saw it as I truly hope this will be me and my dh one day in the very far future.  I want nothing less than to grow old with him, but truly God has the best laid plans that we are never privy to ;)

**The extra part of the challenge was for us to share how we met our sweethearts.  I actually met my dh when we worked together at the AF Base in Homestead ~ both of us were "military brats" and I was still in High School while he was just starting college.  It wasn't love at first sight - it was laugh at first site!  I know that sounds bad, but we worked at the commissary and a customer came through with one of the wildest, wackiest orders and we happen to be near that register at the same time.  We looked at the order, at each other, busted up laughing and we've been laughing still for years :) I knew within a month of being friends that I loved him truly, madly, deeply :)
And here we are - nearly 30 years later :) :) **

Be sure to stop by and see what the Divas -vs- Dazzlers did this month with their kits, too! You can find them listed in my sidebar.  You wont' want to miss their creations!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Big hugs,

Bigger Blessings!
