Garden of Friendship

Today is the 15th so that means it's time for the Dueling Darlings to post their creations. YAY!

What's a Dueling Darling? I am! Tee Hee! The Dueling Darlings are two groups/teams of crafters. Each team has a hostess for the month (this month Terry is the Dazzler hostess and LJ is the Diva hostess). The hostesses choose a theme and send out card kits to their team members based on the theme chosen. Neither team knows what the other team is using.

While I love creating with these very special kits, I think I enjoy seeing what each of the Dazzlers and Divas create even more! Soooooooo after you've checked out my card, let's go to see what the other ladies made, okay?

The theme Terry and LJ chose is Garden of Friendshp. Terry sent me (and the other Dazzlers) an incredibly fun kit - it's a good thing, since my stamping supplies are still in boxes from my recent move - with loads of embellishments, designer papers, and the cutest image. THANK YOU, TERRY! (hmmmmmmmmm... I wonder what LJ sent the Divas???)

Here's the card I created:

Oh, and a sneak peek at the inside of my card:

Here's the inside:

I hope Terry likes my card!!!

The challenge that Terry and LJ included in this month's Dueling Darlings is tht we are to share a story or memory of a good friend! That's kind of tough for me, because honestly I don't want to narrow it down to one friend. Instead I'd like to mention my forest friends over on Splitcoast Stampers. That's the group of chatty swappers that participate in my card swaps. They have become such dear friends to me over the past couple of years. We laugh together; we cry together, too. We tell funny stories of what's going on in our lives; we share our burdens, too. We cheer each other on; we lend a shoulder to cry on, too. We are there for one another. That's what friendship is about! And I'm so glad the forest friends are in my life!!!

Okay, now it's time to go check out the other blogs...
