Kicking Off - DD August 2013


Hello ~ Hello 

It's time for this month's duel between the Divas and Darlings.....This month Terry and I are the hostesses and the theme we chose was "Fall Kick-Off" ~ which could be anything fall-themed.....but of course since football starts in August I had to create a football-themed kit for the my lovely Divas :) 

Main image is from MFT (Pure Innocence Line), sentiments (inside and outside of card) are from Hampton Arts. Patterned paper is from Sn@p studio (yellow polkadots) & Jillibean Soup (Game Day Chili Collection). Also used some SU! Crumb Cake Ribbon Seam Binding, MFT Star Border Dienamics (these were part of the kit), and a PTI Button. My card measures 5.5" square. 

Here's the inside of the card: 


Terry and I also asked the DD's to share some of our early fall memories. One of my favorite times during the fall is Badger Game Day :) I've been fortunate to have a season ticket for the last five years. There is nothing like being with 80,000+ cheering on the Badgers in mad-town. 


thanks for stopping by today! 
On Wisconsin! 
Hugs ~ LJ

Oh LJ! I knew your kit would include football as soon as I saw the kit that Terry sent us. And I was not disappointed. I love the card you made - and the fun papers! WOW! Your kit must have been a score-winner!

Loved seeing the picture of the Badger's game, too... so glad you are able to attend often!
