Happy Dueling Darlings Day! :)



It's the 15th of the month - and that means the Dueling Darlings are back for another friendly duel!  This month our hostess for the Divas is LJ!  She sent a super darling veggie themed kit with a theme of Garden of Friendship!  (Can I get an AMEN!)   Friendships are one of the greatest GIFTS He has given to us and I treasure the friends I've made off and online - like all of you!   

My card is pretty simple :)  I am still packing and scrambling and having an absolute wonderful (and exhausting!) time with my niece and nephew - we are getting ready to roll out on vacy so I do hope you'll stop back by even while I'm gone - lots of sneak peeks heading your way!! :)

Here's Flopsey!!  LJ sent us a smorgasboard of yummy embellishments and cute patterned paper ~ I love veggies, and a trip to the farmer's market for me is a rare but wonderous treat!  And I have about as far away from a green thumb as you can image - I think even plastic flowers are in danger in my house!  My dad was the most amazing person with plants and planting - wish I had inherited just a small fraction of that gene.   But at least I can grow this card!  LOL!!

Here's the inside verse: 


Be sure to check out the rest of the Diva cards!

LJ * Barb * Carol  * Judy * Jamie * Joan * Tami

and to see the dueling theme from the Dazzlers, you can find them here!

Thanks so much for stopping by today!
Check back tomorrow (or next post!) as I'll have something pretty yummy to share as well!

    I am not a green thumb either! I am a firm believer in the Farmer's Market, or we would be starving! ;)

    Great job on the challenge!!!

  16. what an awesome card Kelly. I love the layout and the red layer really pops this card front and center. I like how you used the fabric flower and the button center is wonderful. Flopsey is colored perfectly and the inside is just as amazing...you truly are an artist and you weren't kidding when you said you could grow this card...Job well done my friend...
