♥ Hello my Darling Peeps and welcome to the first Duel of 2012!! ♥
This month the wonderdul hostess for us Dazzlers was Melina while for the Divas miss Joan took the helm. Both hostesses decided to challenge us in a duel with 'Little Things' in mind.
Melina provided us Dazzlers with an awesomely sweet kit, as you can see in the following picture:
Well, I don't usually feel too comfortable working with such small size images, so that fact alone challenged me even stronger to produce a decent card, and then....WHAM!! an idea popped in my mind and voila'....I acted on it using one of my Whipper Snapper's stamps as my creative muse.....*wink*.....I think this idea worked out rather nicely....♥
Melina also wanted to know what our thoughts were once we opened our kits and discovered this month's theme. Well, for me after the first "wowww these are tinyyyyy....lol" I also thought that
"good things come in little packages..." and that was it...I do think that the result turned out quite good actually....LOL....Did I tell ya how much I LOVEEEE challenges??? ♥
Another good challenge was to use ALL the items included in the kit and, after a few hummms and ahhhhmmmssss, here how I used them on the card...can you see where I placed the three little circles ? The only thing I added on this card is the card stock (Marina Mist from SU!), Label ten nesties, the fun googley eyes for the lil crab,dimentionals, and the funny sentiment (from Bella) which I cut out with two punches and then 'balanced' it within the lil crab's claws. { A witty sentiment to be added on the card was also a requirement from our hostess.}Check ,check...all done! :o)
Here's a peek of the inside of the card too....
(ooopsss! I just realized that I missed placing the yellow paper clip with the kit picture posted above)
Well, girls....this is it...I hope you enjoyed browsing through...
Let me know your thoughts please...I always appreciate your feed back.
This was a FUN challenge Melina....I hope you like what I came up with...oh and by the way..

Wonderful creation, love! And what a great sentiment you chose!
I love your use of the nestie and how you ruffled the ribbon!!
Happy New Year!
Paola, this is BRILIANT! I love the "balancing act" and how you stacked them on top of each other! In my post I tried to explain how it really is a balancing act, paying attention to the good little things & letting the rest go. Here on your card you accomplish that concept perfectly! Of course the layout and coloring and all that is wonderful too. Your cards never disappoint! Hugs!
