May 2012 Dueling Divas


Hello Hello ~

Time for our Monthly Duel! Our hostesses this month are Judy and Paola. This is such a pretty kit! I decided to keep my card simple so that the focus would be on the image which is from SU! Serene Spring. I don't have many images like this, so it was really fun to color. There were lots of pretty ribbon, buttons, bling etc in this kit. Can't wait to use it on a future DD card in a few months......

May is one of my favorite months, it's really the start of spring for me. Often our March's and April's here in south-central WI are chilly and damp. May is usually when we see the first extended days of warmth and when I can leave my home in the morning with a light jacket on, and carry it home after work. :)  Also in May is Mother's Day, Sytende Mai (Norwegian Constitution Day), Memorial Day weekend. ah I could go on.......

And it's when the weather gets warm enough for the Brewers to play with the roof open :)

I hope you enjoyed my post for the day.......be sure to check out all the rest of the Duel:

Judy, Barb,  Laura Jean (me) Judy, Jamie,  Kelly and Carol

Please start here, at Jeanette's blog for our friendly duel

Thanks for stopping by ~ 

Hugs ~ LJ

LJ--this card is wonderful! I love the soft colors--and the butterfly at the end of the flourish--perfect!

Sounds like May is a great month for you--and your family!

Wow! Your card is a breath of spring, LJ! Love the soft background colors and how you paired them with the butterfly paper!! Love the scalloped soft green frame for your beautifully colored image!! Love how you used ribbon,rhinestone swirl and butterfly...such a lovely and perfect embellishment!!! I think I may need to CASE this card.

Pretty!

I like how you brought the light blue through the card. That DP made a perfect background.

You colored the image well!

LJ, your card is so pretty. I love the swirl of bling - you placed it perfectly on your card. And the butterfly is such fun!

I'm like you; May is the perfect time of year - with the nice weather, holidays to enjoy, etc.
