Let's DUEL....

WOW is all I can say.
Darlene is our hostess this month and really pampered us.  I couldn't even use everything...and I made 5 projects with the kit.





I really hope that I did justice to what Darlene sent!
She also asked that we post a favorite Fall recipe....enlarge the first photo for mine!!  It is a recipe for my Grandmother's fried cakes....I make them once a year!
Also included were balsa wood ovals - I made a pumpkin with them - colored with my Bic's.  {I must admit that the second card is my favorite!}

Here are all the deets:

Make sure to check out the rest of the Duelers and their posts...they LOVE luv as much as I do!!

April, you are an over-achiever this month!! LOL FIVE cards??? Way to go girl!
I love them all and you are so creative to make them each so very differently! I admire that.

But I can't pick a favorite...Maybe the squirrel...no, it's the pumpkin-shaped card. No wait a minute, the Balsa pumpkin card is adorable, oh, heck. I love them all!

And your Grandmother's recipe=YUM!
