Paola and Kadie were the hostesses. However, my kit didn't arrive before I left on my trip to ALASKA!!! So I didn't get my card made until I got home from that trip and regrouped here at home. That being said, the card has been sitting on my photography table (where my cards have their photo opp) for over a week now. Sheesh! Life is way too busy when one can't even get a picture or two taken and put them on a blog.

So, without further delay, here is my card:

The theme of this duel is 

What's Your Brew?

We were also supposed to tell what our favorite brew is... well, those who know me know that I love going to Starbucks (BUT all I ever get there is a frappuccino). Truthfully, I'm really not fond of the taste of coffee. *gasp! But if you get it sweet enough - and make it taste like a shake? Yummo!

And, I'm not a hot tea drinker - hardly ever. Because it reminds me of the many times as a child when I was so very VERY sick that all I could consume was hot tea. So when I drink hot tea now, it makes me think I'm sick. LOL! Funny how mind-association works, isn't it?

Therefore............... my favorite brew is Iced Tea! Love the stuff. We drink a gallon or more of it each day at our house - and I drink well over half of that. I do let my two guys have some, though. ;)

Oh, and if I'm ever near a Quick Trip (we don't have them here), I have to stop and get one of those 0 calorie white peach teas they have. Bliss!!!

Here's the inside of my card:

Thanks for stopping by my blog today! 
Please be sure to head over to the other Dueling Darlings blogs to see their cards, too. You'll find links to them in my left side bar.

The only thing I used to make this card other than the items in Paola's kit was cardstock (Recollections Black and Stampin' UP! Confetti Ivory).

THANK YOU for a great kit, Paola! And thanks to Paola and Kadie for a great theme!
