Hi friends!
Oh how long it's been since I've been able to get online!
Life as mommy to 4 with many hats to wear has taken me away
from online life and into the whirlwind of real life!
from online life and into the whirlwind of real life!
But as my kid's say, it's all good! :)
Today is the day that the Dueling Darlings post our cards - yay!
This month, our duel was hostess by LJ (Team Divas!)
and Terry (Team Dazzlers) with a fun Umbrella theme.
This is what LJ said:
It's time for the March duel! Like most of you (except Kelly - who I am throwing
virtual snow-balls at right now) I am so ready for spring and summer! One of the
many signs of spring is rain and umbrellas, and as March is National Umbrella
Month, we are going with an Umbrella them this month.
I have added a little bit of a twist to the challenge
(Terry is not doing this - that I know). I found these 7
Gypsies Manilla Folders awhile ago at HL and I thought it would be fun for us to
use these as your card base. It's not required, but It's just an idea I thought
I would toss out there. :)
So using LJ's own challenge, instead of creating my card on cardstock,
I chose the fabulous mini manilla folder - it's super cute!
I used 4 of the papers that she sent in various folds and
colored the Unity Umbrella image with my prismacolor markers ~
here is my card, inside and out!

Be sure to stop in and see what the rest of my team created
with LJ's card kit and what team Dazzlers created with theirs ~
you can find them in my sidebar!
Before I go, here is a picture of me as a wee babe!
Scary to think of how many years ago this was, LOL!

Hi Kels! You are amazing doing all you do for your family and then creating this wonderful card for the duel!! Love how you used so much of the dsp and the clever way you place the panels. Love how you embellished the image panel with the ribbon, flower and button. Then you added the perfect touch on the inside with more dsp, flowers and sentiment panel! Hugs and blessings to you too, my sweet friend!
