Hard to believe that a month has gone by without stamping. I really enjoyed my break. I think it is good for your body and mind to just let go of things and relax.
Thank you all that have emailed me with concerns about our well being here in NC. I had lots of phone calls and emails. I feel blessed. Luckily we had no damage. I am swamped at work right now dealing with many insurance claims for those that did. Even some of our design team at Mo's were affected by this devastating storm.
This week at Mo's the challenge is a sketch. Here is the card I created for the challenge:
I chose Mo's Digital Pencil Image Cherry. I used my Spellbinders Grand Label Twenty Three die for my card shape and my circle dies for the image. I added the leafy vine and some heart cherry buttons. Come play along with our challenge..MO's Digital Pencil Challenge.
I hope whoever you give your cards to truly appreciates the 'works of art' that they are. This has got to be one my of my fav' to date (hard to choose though), perfect everytime xx
