Dueling Darlings February

Let me call you sweetheart! is our theme for February in the Dueling Darlings from SCS.   You know, February is a month for smitten kittens, with Valentine's Day and all.

I have to ask.  Have you ever come across one of those people?  By those people I mean those who you never hear them call their significant other by name?   I worked with this one lady and she never said her husband's name, for years!  It was always "my husband", the kid's dad, his brother, or she even called him mister.... but never sweetheart! It was like this third person 55 times removed!

Or how about the people that call their significant other "daddy".   I could no more call my husband daddy, than fly to the moon!  He is not my daddy, he is my husband.  I worked with one of those women once too.  I mean we would die laughing in the office - silently of course - when she would story tell "Big Daddy and I...."..... but never sweetheart.  How about "Boo"?  I want to yell, "Boo Who"?!  LOL

I guess "sweetheart" is the original OG!  Sticking to the original, I worked from the great kit that Carol sent for February.  It was a kit full of pretty papers and embellies galore.    Since we were going 'old school' I used chalks to color my image.  When I say 'old school', I mean the OG of the chalks from Stampin' UP!.  They are like circa 2000!  They were actually called Stamping' Pastels I think.  I also used an older than dirt edge punch.  'Member them?!

I liked working old school for something different - thank you, Carol.  You can see what the other girls created by visiting them from the links on the right sidebar.



Have a great week!
