Hi friends!
I'm a few days late with my Dueling Darlings post
as the flu invaded my house!
In the 23 years we've lived here,
I think this is the worst we've ever experienced :(
Not only did we spend Valentine's Day alternatively sick,
but I spent the next few days running from room to room,
tending to all the infirmed.
I kept waving the white flag of surrender,
but the flu was winning, hand's down!
Today's card is from a card kit sent to the Divas from our hostess, Suzy!
The Dazzlers hostess this month was Deb,
and they chose a theme of Valentines ♥
This is the card I made using the card kit:
The inside is a bit plain ~
added the hearts from the kit as the sentiment is already on the front :)
What I love so much about the DDD card kit duel
is how we take the same image, same papers and embellishments,
and create such uniquely different kits!
While my amazingly talented DDD Divas and Dazzlers
have created gorgeous kits, too ~
you can find their cards by peeking at the SCS gallery or thread
(until I add my links and sidebar notes back on) :)
Thank you for those that prayed for our family during flu-ageddon!
It means the world to us
and it's good to be standing back on our feet again.
Big hugs, bigger blessings!

Really like all those fun papers and the way they go together. The image is just darling of course! Yep, love it!
ReplyDeleteOh uck on the flu mess! It seems to be hitting everywhere though and they've even had to close some of the schools in Texas. Not good. Hang in there and everyone will be well soon.

So far we have escaped it here although someone said that GA has been hit hard. My son and I were down with it last year at this time instead of getting to go on a mid-winter break vacation. :(
