Melina is the hostess for this month's 'duel' ..in fact she's hostessing both the Darlings and the Diva's groups this time around...For our challenge, Melina asked us to make a card with our leaders in mind...here are her own words:
" Hey girls.....
This is my idea for our October Duel. We make a card with our team leaders in mind (details below)....for all their hard work they do keeping us going.
For the Dazzlers team:
Your challenge is to make a card with the theme of Trees (since she is the Forest Ranger) and include patterned paper since she says this is her go to thing when making cards.
I will be sending out a PM to all of you including Jeanette with this theme
challenge idea. But, Jeanette will not know about the "leader in mind" bit.
The extra thing I ask of you for October is that you all mail your cards to Jeanette. PLEASE DON'T MAIL THEM BEFORE THE 15TH OF OCTOBER. I don't want her finding out what's going on before she sees the blog posts!
That being said, in your blog posts for October 15th, please mention something about your DDD leader and how this is a big 'ole surprise for her and how she is going to be getting happy mail. That is the reveal of the secret......the day you post your DDD card.
..........................I have asked the Divas to do the same thing for Kelly with a different theme in mind.
Thanks so much to all of you for sticking with the DDD crew! I love being a part of this group!!!
HUGS,
Melina"
What can I say about our fearless leader JEANETTE??? She's just an AWESOME gal, ready and so willing to help out and a great listener ....very compassionate and an absolutle rare gem!! She's also quite adventurous (she even rode an elephant!) and loves attending World's Missions...Jeanette is a wonderful Child of God and one of my dearest online friend and mentor.
* I LOVE YOU JANETTE, YOU'RE QUITE AN INSPIRATION
AND ARE TRULY ONE OF A KIND... *
Today, my card is ment to reflect Jeanette's love for Christmas trees...every year she decorates her house with a tremendous amount of Christms trees,each with its own theme...she's so passionate in everything she does ♥
One thing though that Jeanette does NOT uses much in her creative cards is GLITTER! :o) .... I thought I'd do that for her...lol...*grin*.
I also chose to use non-traditonal colors, relying on several different blues
combined with soft and pretty lavander....the oval containing the glittery trees is
surrounded by night of navy organdy ribbon over lavander card stock...
Last year we DDD were requested to do a similar theme also , but with a coffee challenge in mind...here's that post if you wish to peek and found out the wonderful meaning of Jeanette's name:
