It's the 15th and that means the Dueling Darlings have our cards to show off!! The theme this month was picked by Debby (littledeb) and myself. Debby and I were talking about our challenge for the Dazzlers and Divas and how busy people are these days. Just hopping from one thing to another....and low and behold the light bulb lit up and we thought of the same idea....that's how sister's brains work you know!! Anyway, we are always hopping ...so frogs came to mind and we both had frog stamp sets. So, that's how the frog theme came to pass!
I used a new "to me" system called Kiwi Lane. They have these really neat pieces of plastic that you can trace and cut out for your cards. I bought one set at the stamp show in January and also won the door prize from them for another set. I pulled those recently and started to play with them. These are so much fun!!! Used some of the Distress Ink to ink around the edges....which really makes them pop!
The little flowers in the corner needed centers. So, since I sent to the Divas some brown cord....I used it to make French knots for each flower center.
Thanks for popping in. Hopefully while you are hopping around doing things you are able to check a few things off your "to do" lists! That way you will be "Toadly Happy"!

Suzy that kiwi thing rocks! I love the shapes and how you antiqued the edges of the DPs. Oh and that little blue hue around the frog image is perfect. Thanks, for a great kit!
