Mo's dp2 challenge dt

I seem to have started the new year on the wrong foot as i am late as per usual with my post for the new challenge on Mo's dp2, and as usual the girls have cooked up some amazing inspiration!  Our challenge this week is "Retro"  i was stumped and then decided that i would use retro colors for my card.  Also a new member to the team is my amazingly talented friend Pat Frank, so good to have her on the team with me, and what do they say about great minds thinking alike?  well thats when you know that somethings gotta be right with your friendship when you both decide to use the same image in the same week, he he
For my card this week i am using the newest addition to Mo's repetoir "wonder" and she is available at Mo's store.
I colored her up with my copics, layered her onto a Marianne die that i acquired in December.  My flowers are from Prima and i then just added buttons to the centre of them.  Well the rest of the team definitely will have loads of inspiration if i seem a little flat today, hopefully once i get over a few more speed humps i will be back to creating more..
have a great crafting week

    Hi again. This isn't the challenge post I saw over at Mo's this week either (it was the one about being nice, for the playtime challenge), but I loved this one too. I'm sure that everyone is happy to see you posting. Hugs, dj
