Peace be with you today as we sit and mourn the loss of the tiniest of victims in CT. My heart aches for those parents and know that there are such few words to bring comfort ~ and I pray for the families of these most precious gifts of life lost in this senseless tragedy.
Although by now I'm on the road heading to a field trip for the next 3 days, I sure hugged them all - my kids and those who call me 'mom' just because - a whole lot tighter. Peace with you today!
Well, it's time for another friendly 'duel' between the Divas -vs- the Dazzlers! This month, our hostess with the mostess was Barb and WOW! Did she send a kit to send us over the moon happy! This is one of my favorite color schemes and the papers were rich in blue, brown and green! It's *snow* much fun to see all the papers, embellishments, cute image! Starting out with a stamped image of Downhill snowman from Whipper Snapper, I colored it up with prismas and left it rather plain because I was having a blast with all the papers! It was truly hard to chose one side over the other :)
Please be sure to stop in an see what the DT have created on this duel!
Big hugs,
Bigger Blessings!

Oh, I really like how this card turned out! You were able to use so much of the kit. I especially like how you did the ribbon (LOL - we did the same)! You did a great job with the kit.
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a great time with your kids on the trip. Hold them close! Travel safe.

Fun card for the holidays! Great background and color combo!
ReplyDeletebig smile my friend, your card is sooo funny, love the image... Hugs and schönen 3. advent!
ReplyDeleteI had to giggle when I started to comment. I had just read your post - broken arms and all - can I say Klutz??? - and then the first words from the first commenter were "Safe travels..." It got me tickled. I needed the laugh (after the sadness/heartache I've been feeling since yesterday's news broke), so that's good.
ReplyDeleteI love your card! The layout is such fun and the buttons are so Kelly! Love the way you did the inside, too!
Thank you for Dueling every month!
Now... have a good and SAFE trip with the school kids. ;)
Kelly--love your card. I think the colors of the snowman are so cute and the layout works perfect with your favorite embellishment--Buttons!

ReplyDeleteOuch, your sledding and ice skating story is too much! Your parents must have gotten a few grey hairs that season with your antics!

I love the snowman on your card. I hugged my kids tighter too yesterday. It just breaks my heart.

ReplyDeleteHi Kelly! Your skiing snowman is a sweetie! Tragedies do remind us all that what we may take for granted can be taken away so easily. Enjoy your trip!
ReplyDeleteSuch a darling card. Love the image and the brown/blue combo. Love the snowflake ribbon, I have one similar but mine is silver. I have to pick up some of that white! It has been a sad weekend, I have been avoiding the news and tv at all costs as It was just so heart wrenching. I am counting my blessings and praying for all those suffering and for peace for all.
ReplyDeleteI am a klutz, and so accident prone, so I don't try iceskating or anything anymore. I go for the cocoa!
Haha- fun image, Kelly. Your layout and color choice is gorgeous. Love the buttons and the snowflakes inside the card. Super duper cute :-)

ReplyDeleteI love the coloring- and the buttons on your card- and the DSP and the inside..... Love your story about winter sports and ice- yikes! Safe travels and I too am keeping all of the families and those affected by the school shootings in my prayers!
ReplyDeleteCute cute cute card, Kelly! Love how you used the buttons and that cool corner swatch. Also, what a great idea to use that snowflake garland inside the card.

Super cute card! Love the snowflakes inside w/ the sentiment, too!
ReplyDeleteKelly... LOVE HIM!!,. I love snowmen and this one is sooooo cute!!!. Beautiful card as always!!!
ReplyDeleteLayers, layers and layers....I love them!! Great color choice and beautiful coloring of the image. Love how you placed the buttons and ribbons as well. The snowflakes on the inside are perfect with the sentiment!
ReplyDeleteI can see why you had such a hard time choosing the papers! These are wonderful and I love the colors together! The little snowman is so cute too!
ReplyDeleteYour personal story about ice made me smile! Growing up on a farm, we had our share of bumps, bruises, and breaks. I am sure that if my kids would go to the doctor as often as we did, they would request an investigation. Of course we practically lived outside and with six of us, we found plenty of things to get into... Wouldn't trade it for the world!
