Mo's dp 2 challenge dt

 We have our new challenge for Mo's challenge blog up and running, this week its "Anything goes with the optional extra of the above sketch.  I decided to go with the sketch, just flipped it to suit what i wanted to do.
 this "Buds" image available in Mo's store has gotta be one of my favourites of Mo's images as i have used it quite a few times, i just love it!
 A look at my simple inside of my card.  i used a new Xcut shape for the postage style matting of my image and insert inside my card, added a few buttons and was quite pleased with the end result.  I have been trying to concentrate on using some of the older things in my craft room and noticed that my MS border punches are looking rather neglected, ie:  gathering a bit of dust, so i blew this one off that i forgot the name of to use on my card.
ok friends thats it from me, i am exhausted, my husband is away on business and i am up at all ungodly hours of the morning, when we all should be having a lay in, no rest for the dying in this house, so i am really tired after a week of running after the kids and playing taxi.
See y"all next week

  4. I've got the female version of this image of Mo's and love it! Of course, my coloring isn't quite up to yours, but I do think I'm getting better. Hope that hubby comes home soon so you can get some rest. Re-discovering old tools is like craft shopping in your own studio, fun!
