DDD ~ Angels among Us

Happy Dueling Darlings Day! ♥

 

This is the day that our card group, lovingly called the Dueling Darlings,

post our card kits from the dueling hostesses.

Carol and Melina paired up to send us all angel card kits!

This month, Carol sent Team Divas an adorable, soft, warm kit filled 

filled with a choice of two angel images and wonderful laces,

 ribbons, flowers galore! This was is what she shared:

Our theme for this month is Angels ( or as I like to think Angels among us). Whenever I think of Angels I think of peace, tranquility, and beautiful scenery/flower gardens so that is the trip I took... As you can see I couldn't decide on an angel so I sent you the two I had. They can be a little mischievous but they are good most of the time

 It was really hard to chose what to use, and in the end, I just went with a simplistic look. 

I have enough left over for two or more cards, due to Carol's 

generosity - thank you, my friend!

 

 I halfed one of the dsp squares to use as the front banner ~

the other half, I used here on the inside (plain, for writing!)

 

 For my card design, I followed the sketch from this week's

Tuesday Morning.  The sentiment is from TAWS

and says "You're my favorite!"  

The twist this week is tone on tone/monochromatic so 

I went with blue hues :)

 

A look from the front :)

Carol said:  "I personally believe in angels and as an extra challenge we would like you to share an angel experience--guardian angel story...or anything of that nature if you have one and are willing to share.."

Oh my friend, I am with you on this one!  

I strongly believe that we are wrapped in the loving embrace of 

protection of God's love and his angels are indeed around us.

I have felt their presence more than once,

and witnessed the blessing of their saving grace twice.

I believe one helped to save my daughter's life

when she was just 15 months old, answering the prayer 

I shouted desperately to God and echoed into my heart.

No matter how much I replay it in my mind, still 14 years later,

it replays exactly the same and it makes no sense other than to believe!

And I do!

Thank you for your wonderful kit this month, my friend.

I made me me teary eyed at how important our angel friends

are to us as well ~ years later, here we all are still dueling,

laughing, geeging, sharing, caring, loving.

You are a beautiful group of ladies and I'm blessed

by each and every one of you - my angels! x0x0

Be sure to stop in and see what the rest of the Dueling Darlings

have created - Team Divas (this one) has the same kit/image

and Team Darling (hostess Melina) has another one - 

so much fun and wonderment :)

I'll see you later on with another Riley Sneak Peek!

Big Hugs,

Bigger Blessings!
