Celebrating Special Moments


Greetings ~


It's time for our monthly duel between the divas and darlings and this month Kelly is our Diva hostess :) Our theme this month is "Making Memories, Celebrating Moments". Kelly sent us a beautiful kit to play with this month, featuring "Tessa Tassel" from Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps. I had a fun time coloring Tessa, as I just recently learned some new tips with coloring.

Kelly and Jeanette (the darlings hostess this month) asked us to share some a current or past memory/moment to us that is close to our heart. Years past, I remember spending a lot of time at my sister's dance recitals. My niece is performing in her first dance recital on Saturday morning (the 18th) and while I'm so excited to watch Tavi and her friends put on an awsome show, I'm just as much looking forward to seeing my sisters' reactions and tears......as now the tables have turned and her little girl is on the stage doing the same thing her mommy did.... :)

Thanks so much for stopping by ~ LJ. 


Here is the inside of my card :)

Fabulous card LJ! I love that strip of red down the side of the card and the white brad on the top of the graduation cap...they add so much to the card.

Oh, I like how this card turned out! The pop of red in her dress and how it matches the banner. Cool!

Hope the dance with Tavi was good.

Wow! What a beautiful card, LJ! Love all the panels and especially clever one using the ribbon! Tessa Tassel is so beautifully colored and great embellishments with pearls and mortarboard cap. Beautifully decorated inside too!
