DDD ~ Mixed Up Cake Party - 10 Year Anniversary!

Today is a MOST exciting day!

The Dueling Darlings card group 10 years old today!

And in honor of that, we're having a 

MIXED UP CAKE PARTY!

We are 2 teams of card making friends - The Divas and the Dazzlers.

This month, I created and mailed out all 16 card kits to everyone.

The idea for a mixed up cake party is a play on cake and ice cream.

Our first duel was an ice cream theme so for this party, we're seriving cake! 

BUT!

To make it even more fun, 

the teams were mixed up!

 Some Divas were Dazzlers this month, and vice versa.

My children put the kits into random envelopes so I don't know who is where!

I'm kinda bummed that I stayed a DIVA,

 hee hee, but that's okay- it's all FUN!

For the Diva kits, I used The Cat's Pajamas stamps and we have the image:

Forget About The Cake.

I've used 3 of the patterned papers included in the kit

and as a way to pay homage to my cardmaking from 10 years ago,

I did 2 things:

I made a HUGE square card, measureing 5.5" x 5.5"

and added on tons of buttons!

My old cards always had buttons :)

My card has a TON of dimension ~ I popped up the bunny and cake, the buttons and the matching sentiment. This is SO me - go for the icing, LOL!

We've had a lot of fun games and prizes all month AND another suprise:

A GOLDEN TICKET!

In each card kit, there's a lottery ticket with a grand prize!

Here is mine ... and yes, it could be me, hee hee!

(I would have them redraw, of course, but it's fun playing along!)

What do you think - it's the winner, right?! :)

I absolutely can't wait to see all the cards this month!

Here's another look at my DIVA card:

This was truly a fun month and I hope everyone had a good time playing in the games and making cards! We're on Splitcoaststampers and in the thread called Dueling Darlings and we're also posting cards in the gallery, there!

Thanks so much for visiting and here's to 10 more years!

Big hugs, bigger blessings :)
