Are You Into the Olympics?

NOTE: This is my second post of today. If you're here to check out the new MelonHeadz Friends Challenge, you can find it by clicking HERE... or just keep scrolling to the blog post after this one.

Today is the 15th so it's time for a friendly duel.......... the Dueling Darlings are hosted this month by Deb (Dazzlers) and Judy (Divas)............. and their theme is certainly timely!

Going to Rio with the Olympic Darlings

I'm a Dazzler so I received a FANTASTIC kit from Deb! THANK YOU, Deb! (I'm sure Judy sent an equally wonderful kit to the Divas, but I haven't seen it...... yet.)

Deb's kit included:

DP:        Scrapbook Customs – "Cheerleading Star Field"

              Karen Foster – "Everything Gymnastics"

Embellishments:

Blue Twine from K&Co.

White Twine from Stampin’ Up!

Red/White Twine – dollar bin Michaels

Gold & Silver Cord – Stampin’ Up!

Star Brads – Stampin’ Up!

The only thing of my own that I used was some Gray and Navy Cardstock (card base and matting).

Here's my card:

I absolutely loved the designer paper and just HAD to use it!!! And then I wanted to do that "coil of cording" that I see on so many lovely cards..........well, that didn't turn out like I envisioned it. Drats!

Here's the inside of my card:

Deb also asked us to share what our favorite Olympic event is........... well... I'm sorry to say I can't answer that question. I've only watched the Olympics one time in my life - and that was about 10 years ago. The only reason I watched it then was because we were on vacation - and the location was sort of boring. We had a condo rented... so the Olympics ended up being our best option for entertainment. I know... I hear you gasping. But that is the truth.  I couldn't possibly make this stuff up.

Now, be sure to head over to the other Dueling Darling blogs to see what they made. (I know I am excited to see!) You'll find the links to their blogs in my left sidebar.
