Happy 10th to the Dueling Darlings!

Ten years ago today, the Dueling Darlings were formed!  I was invited to join some years back...in 2011 I think...

Kelly sent each Darling a packet with 3 felt banners which we were to use on the front of a card.  The concept is that together they would make a long banner representing our friendships over the years.

This is what I came up with:

I think that I may be disqualified as I now notice that her instructions said to only use a sentiment on the card...I decorated the banners with hearts and butterflies.  hahaha, sorry Kelly!

At any rate, we sure have been through a lot over the years - weddings, births, passings, divorce, baptisms, kicking cancer, relocation, job changes, retirement...The funnest I think is becoming Grandmothers!

Check out the other blogs and Galleries to see what the other Dueling Darlings created to mark this anniversary.  Here's to ten more years!

Oh Darlene, I love your card. I really like how you stamped on your banners and is that a glittery background on your background.....if not it sure looks like it and you know how much I "like" haha glitter. Great job on your friendship card. I am so glad we have been in this group together and have been able to meet in person. I am blessed to have you as a friend.
