I Scream for Ice Cream

Something New

- Something SPECIAL -

is happening!

Today is an exciting day in blogland!!! I have been anticipating this day for several weeks now and have tried not to let the cat out of the bag. That being said, you may have noticed a badge in my right-side column... it's been there for a few weeks. It says I am a Dueling Darling.

Hmmmmmm... wonder what that means?

Actually, there are 14 Dueling Darlings. We are a bunch of friends from Splitcoast Stampers, mostly friends from the forest swaps that I host. We have formed two teams, the Divas and the Dazzlers and to have fun dueling it out once a month.


This month the hosts of the two groups are Kelly (Divas) and myself (Dazzlers). That means we sent kits to the others in our group - identical kits - with the common theme of I Scream, You Scream, We all Scream for Ice Cream. Today is the day each Dueling Darling reveals her creation made with the kit she received.


The Dazzlers received kits with the CC Designs Sweet Ki Ki La Rue image, a piece of Doodle Design Inc. You Scream Ice Cream designer paper, a piece of Colorbok Vellum, two pieces of Dashes, Dots, and Checks ribbon, some Paper Studio buttons, and a fancy paper clip. Just for fun, I also sent each Dazzler a K & Co. Glitter Chipboard Letter (her own initial).

Dueling Darlings are asked to create a card (or project) with the kit items. The idea is to see what different crafters create with the same products. Of course, no one must use everything in the kit. Also, they are free to use their own cardstock and other things as needed to complete their project.

Here's the card I created with the kit:

I used everything in the kit. LOL! Kind of an over-achiever here, aren't I?

Here's a closeup of the image (colored with my Copics):

The striped circle on the left side is actually the fancy paper clip that was in the kit. I removed the paper clip and used just the striped circle on my card. Pretty easy to do.

My card has quite a bit of dimension, as seen in this picture:

One last picture of my card:

Now, if you're like me, I'm just as excited as I can be to find out what the other Dazzlers did with the same kit.... let's go see!

As I mentioned earlier, the Dueling Darlings are made up of two groups. The other Group - the Divas - also created with the I Scream for Ice Cream theme, but I have no idea what was in the kits Kelly put together for them. Let's go check that out, too!

I hope you've had fun with the Dueling Darlings in this first round of monthly creativity! Now, let's all go get some ice cream!
