Dueling Darlings Feel the Love!

Life is a lesson, and know what I learned this past week?  Multiple rounds of shoveling heavy & wet snow, knocking icicles off of the roof and moving a refrigerator and pantry cupboard should never be jammed into the same 4 day period.  At least not at my age, haha!

So, hanging my head in shame here...I am late getting my Dueling Darlings challenge card done and posted.  Bufferin did its magic and today I was able to coax my fingers and wrists into some paper therapy.  Here is my card:
The Dazzlers' kit was sent to us by our dear Debbie and I am very grateful to have a few extras of that great image - thanks Debbie!!  The flowers, heart brads, both ribbons and the two DP's were also included in her kit.  I added a chocolate brown colored card stock for the base.

Our theme this month is "Feel the Love" and we are honoring the two founders of our group:
Jeanette and Kelly.
These two women are very special, each for many reasons!  But to me, they are special, spiritual friends, who are always compassionate and willing to lend a shoulder or a shout out, which ever a person may need at the time!  I am very thankful that they are my friends, and that they invited me into this wonderful group of women, and they all have blessed me with their friendship and support.

Debbie and Barb, thanks for a heartwarming theme and such a great kit.  I hope that you like my results.

    Darlene this is a beautiful card - love the way you cut the sentiment, and the background complements it beautifully.
    Hope the hard work has no further effects, apart from making you fitter!
    Blessings

    Darlene, your card was well worth the wait, because it is STUNNING! Love the way you used so many elements from the kit that Deb sent!

    THANK YOU for your sweet words about Kelly and me. I ♥ you!

    I'm sorry the snow has been so plentiful for you this year and causing you pain. Praying that Spring will come soon and give you a reprieve from the harsh winter weather.

    (((HUGS)))

And I'm smiling how you choice to die cut that wonderful sentiment image...Same as me..Heehee! I also like the way you rounded the corners on the right side.

    So gorgeous Darlene. I love the sentiment and your lovely layout. Sorry about all the snow shoveling you had to do. Maybe you need to think about moving here to Texas. ;) We have cold, but none of that white stuff.
