Dueling Darlings ~ Round 3 ... You're a Treasure!

Good morning!  For my Cancer Awareness Buttons and Bows card/post, please click the previous post - I have two for you today!

Although I have been fighting with my blog for about an hour, I have had the chance to hop around and see the amazing DDD creations that are up and let me tell you, this month we had a ball!  For those of you that might be new to our little traveling card kits or my blog {hugs!}, the Dueling Darlings are a group of super wonderful friends that met on SCS and created a card swap group - each of us takes a turn one month and creates a card kit for the others!  We are divided into two group - the Divas and the Dazzlers.   This month, the Divas (our group) was hosted by the incredibly sweet and talented Carol!  She sent us a cute kit with a Whipper Snapper image and so many wonderful embellies that it was impossible to chose, though I did try to squeeze in as many as I could :)  Sadly, I will be "rogue" this month as the paper she sent along with the kit ran away from me - far, far away!  I know it's in my craft-saster Cabana somewhere and promise to post a second card upon it's return!  (humblest apologies, Carol!)

This month we were to incorporate a "treasure' - either something given or recycled or found .... I struggled with what to put and originally had a small pendant my daughter had given me but it just didn't work.  It looked more like an afterthought and it's so special to my heart, I didn't want to just look like it was stuck on there anywhere ;)   So I found these darling little matching glittery butterflies that were given to me in a birthday package (last year - at least they didn't run away, too! LOL!)  Although they don't fit into a holiday card so much, they represent the friendship of Mike 'n Ike that are winter fishing together and the stellar friendship we Darlings have, too!   This card has layers on top of layers and is probably one of the poofiest cards I've ever made, but it was fun!  I'm not sure what kind of fold I ended up with either!  I started with a joy fold, flipped it sideways and changed the layout and somehow ended up with this - hopefully it worked, lol!

Here are the list of Darlings you can hop on over to visit and see what they did with their kits!
