DDD: The love of penguins!



Hi friends!

I love the 15th of the month because it's pay day!
it's the day we post our cards for the Dueling Darling card group!
The DDD, as it's lovingly called, has 2 teams: 
 The Divas -vs- the Dazzlers
where there are 2 hostesses (one for each team) but only one theme.
 Hence, a 'duel!'

This month, the talented Terry S and the lovely Laura Jean are the hostesses 
and they chose a super fun theme of:
Penguins!

 
Oh my heart, when I saw the card kit from LJ arrive in my mailbox,
I squealed! 
I so love Elzybells stamps ~ they are my cherished oldest stamps ♥

I loved this kit so much, I made 4 cards :)
Today, I'm sharing just one for the duel ↓
 


I made a peek a boo window frame 
and tucked the penguin behind this gorgeous paper.
It was hard to chose which of the papers to showcase! 

Here's a quick view of the side to show the dimension:

 
 You can find all the Diva and Dazzlers cards
on our group at Splitcoaststampers. 
I'm very excited that this is our 10th year as a group!

That's a lot of cards, 
a lot of themes 
and a lot of wonderful memories!


 Thanks Terry and Lj for a fun theme this month!

Big hugs, bigger blessings ♥

  1. Dear Kelly, such a cute card, and your other creations are also lovely ! Sorry I've not been on your blog for so long; my brother had a stroke and I have to care for him, and my little doggy had to be put asleep... Some sad and difficult months for me. Hugs, Enny
