It's that time of year.... School is in Session!
Let me warn you, this is going to be a long blog post. I have so much to share with you and it's all in this one blog post. You'll want to see it all, too, because I have two different cards for you to check out. So fasten your seat belt and get settled in for a long and enjoyable ride. ;)
Today is the 15th of September. That means it's time for the Dueling Darlings. You know who we are. We are two groups of online friends who each month are given a kit by our respective hostesses and then create cards - all with the same theme. The Dazzlers (I'm a Dazzler) hostess this month is April. The Divas hostess is Jamie. They chose School Days as their theme.
April's kit included all of these wonderful items:
me & my BIG ideas and DCWV cardstocks;
Reflections blue star glitter tape;
CTMH red abc ribbon
Assorted clips
School bus courtesy of Jamie;
Stamps by Perfectly Clear Stamps/Stampendous ~ "School for Changito"
Black waffle paper from SU!
I couldn't use them all, there were so many items! THANK YOU, April! All I had to add was some red and black cardstock.

Here's the front of my card:
I used one of the images April sent for "inside" the bus; isn't that just the cutest little bus driver you've ever seen?
But look, I also used one of the images inside my card:
I'm so excited to see what the other Dazzlers did with April's kit... April, Darlene, Debbie, Melina, Michelle, Paola, and Terry!
I'm equally excited to see what Jamie gave the Divas and to see what they created... Barb, Carol, Jamie, Joan, Judy, Kelly, LJ, and Tami!
However, before we head off to check out their blogs, I must tell you about an INCREDIBLE challenge that begins today.

A double treat, each one so delightful! You've colored them to perfection and they are just as sweet as can be - the image of Changito as the bus driver is the cutest thing I have ever seen! Adorable! Love it!!
