DDD: Valentines ♥


Hi friends!

I can't believe it's that time of year where we're seeing hearts
and flowers and chocolates e.v.e.r.y.w.h.e.r.e.

Like for real ....
I'm still making Christmas cards! :/

What can I say - December was a blur for me.
I musta blinked ....... and missed it,
 'cause here we are!

Valentines ♥

Today is the premiere card kit post for the DDD for 2017!
So exciting! 
 In case you're one of my newer readers,
the DDD = Dueling Darling Divas/Dazzlers, depending on the team :)
It's a group that I - literally - dreamt about one night,
jumped out of bed and wrote down the idea,
propositioned some besties and voila - here we are, YEARS later!
 The hostesses of both opposing teams chose a similiar theme,
different kits - and on the 15th of every month, we "duel!"

These. ladies.  are.  love :)


Big thanks to Tami and TerryL for being the hostesses this month!
Tami - team Divas - send us this LOVE-ly Valentine's themed kit,
complete with Riley the Moose!
You all know that I'm no stranger to this cutie,
and it's always fun to use Riley in a card,
especially with the beautiful papers and embellishments Tami sent ♥

And the inside:


 This year, the DDD has grown with new members and returning regulars,
so a lot of inspiration using two different card kits, one theme!
You can check out both the Divas and the Dazzlers Valentine's cards, too -
the links to their blogs and/or gallery on SCS is on my sidebar :)
Thanks for stopping by today!

Big hugs, bigger blessings ♥
