The Diva's and Dazzler's are here for our monthly Duel for the Dueling Darlings on SCS. Our hostess this month for the Diva's was LJ.
LJ, sent us a kit themed for a masculine card. I heard a few virtual gasps out there. Why is it that we view masculine cards as such a challenge?! The recipients are probably our least critical! Example, DH looks at a card created with a Magnolia image. Instead of the overall card comment, he asks why she has no mouth. I have no answer....so what do ya think of the card?
Our kit was chalk full of goodies. The image is from A*Muse, Hey Man. If you want to check out the A*Muse cuteness, stop by and see my friend Jeanette, she is a consultant for them. The DP is from Little Yellow Bicycle Paradise Collection. Fun! So cute that I had to make two of this card.
The non card portion of the challenge this month was to give a shout out to a guy in our life. I will have to go with my Dad. He is the best!!! My goodness my brother and I put him through some stuff! He was a great provider for our family. Looking back now, he always had a dance for me to stand on his feet when he came home from work dog tired, let me take his 'restaurant' order and I would come back with some random thing from the kitchen and he would act like it was grand and eat it, would take me fishing for the day and I could eat anything I wanted and has always made me laugh. Like I said, he is the best!
Here is my card for this month's challenge. I hope Daddy O likes it! Be sure and check out all the Dueling Darlings creations. Their blog links are on the right side bar.
