I finally got the last Monday's Mojo83 sketch. I decided to use it for the last Mother's Day card I need to make for this year. It's for my mother-in-law.
It was painstaking, as usual for me, and it didn't turn out anything like what I planned; but, in the end it actually turned into something I liked and couldn't have imagined when I started. I like when that happens. I guess after that torture card with gray in it, anything seems less painful!
I have lots of extra elements on this card, including my beloved chocolate pearls!!! Love them!! And, this is the retired SU dsp (Afternoon Tea) that Kathy (Wattle) sent me to use since we can't get it here any more . . . THANKS SO MUCH KATHY!!!!! YOU ARE THE BESTEST!!!!!! Hope I made you proud with this!
Thanks for taking the time to look and if you have a chance, please let me know what you think!

OK, now I have to go digging and find my Afternoon Tea paper as I know I've got the better part of a package of it hiding somewhere in my 'rubber room'. I'm glad you decided you like this because it turned out wonderfully! Makin' me wish my order from last week would get here soon so I can use my scalloped oval punch on something! Your MIL will love it!
