Darling Divas 1st Monthly Kit..

Hi everybody.

We had an issue with our 1st supply order for our kits. It should have been in last week, but alas, what we had ordered was sold out so we ended up having to decided on a different kit. The supplies we ordered will be in some time this week, & in the mean time some shopping was done to add some goodies to the kits!!

I know some of you would like some hints as to what paper line it is... so.

Our 1st Challenge....

Hi everyone! Thought it would be a good idea, since we are waiting to announce the kits now, to have a little challenge.. just for inspiration.. something to get us motivated to actually use our supplies!! LOL



So.. the challenge is : Using a Cereal box- create a mini album!
Very simple.. Amanda actually made one and has a tutorial up on her blog here Amanda's Cereal Box Mini Album tutorial It is so simple and very easy to follow! When you are done making yours post them and share the link in the comment section on this post! Can't wait to see what you come up with!

Welcome!!!

We are pleased to announce the grand opening of The Darling Divas kit club! We wanted to make kits affordable for those who don't have alot of money to spend every month. This kit club is NO COMMITMENT. If you want a kit one month and want to skip over the next 3 months, you can do that. No paying memberships upfront.. the only thing you pay for is the kit that month if you want to buy it. Kits will be just 15.00 shipped, or 18.00 Shipped if you would like Priority mail. Please remember, for the time being, we are limited to amount of kits we have, so it is on a first come first serve basis. Our kits will have one item added to it every month.

So say this month if our kit was Basic Grey Olivia.. You would get 6 papers- alphas- diecuts, cardstock stickers (full sheet), brads, and then the extra would be say A bottle of stickles.. (that is not the kit for this month LOL That will be announced at a later date!.

Now.. this is what I personally have been waiting for. We have put together a team of 4 talented designers and we are pleased to introduce them to you today!

Introducing our first ever design team- The Darling Diva's!

Reets is our Card Sketch Designer. Her assignment was to come up with a sketch for a card, here is what she came up with!



and two cards she created using the sketch.

My first card sketch.. It’s a pretty basic card sketch. The two colors and the center picture add dimension. Using the two colors allows you to pull the card together using colors from the main picture or theme, as you can see from the digital card.





Traditional Paper
The traditional card I made is a variation, moving the back colors so they don’t split the card in half, and rounding the corners. Then taking the main picture, moving it up and adding a sentiment on the bottom
