Dueling Darlings ~ On the 18th ....

Hello again!

*I have two posts today - 

for my card with The Project Bin, please go here!

It's the 15th of the month,

and that means the Dueling Darlings are back with another friendly duel :)

This month, our hostesses for The Divas is LJ,

and the hostess for The Dazzlers is Darlene!

They sent such an incredible creative kit!

A calendar stamped image marking the new year

and we were to 'fill in the rest'.

Now ... my card .... I almost didn't post it.

I know, I know ...

sometimes we hit the mark and LOVE a card,

and sometimes we don't.

But this card .... this one right here ....

is more than just a card :)

  It's a representation of a chance to meet some really incredible friends

that I have been wanting to meet for a long, long time!

This week, on the 18th, I'm boarding a plane (or two)

and connecting for a long crafty weekend!

To say that I am excited is an understatement :)

That's why when LJ sent the card kit, I immediately had an idea.

I left it with a little gem marking the 18th of January ♥

Therefore, my card ..... it's just paper, really.

It's not what I wanted to make, but it makes me smile knowing 

that little gem means something so. much. more!

 

And LJ, I'll do better next time.

Be sure to stop in an see all the card from the DDD ~
they are listed in my sidebar.

Meanwhile, THIS GIRL needs to pack!

From Miami to Wisconsin - now there's a 180 turn!

Big hugs, bigger blessings ♥
