My Last Mo Card

Actually, it's not my last Mo card ever, but it is my last Mo card as a member of Mo's Dream Team.

It has been a joy and an honor to work with my very talented and kind friend, Mo Manning.

We all know she is amazingly talented as far as her art goes, I am blessed to know that she is an intelligent and caring lady as well. 

Thank you Mo for a fabulous almost 2 years!!

It was wonderful working with the other talented ladies on the Dream Team as 

well...I count it all a treat and am very thankful!  Blessings to you all Girls!!

As I told you all before in my last Retro Sketch post, I am cutting back and stepping down from some of my Design Teams.  Designing for others is fun and rewarding, however it is also a bit time consuming.

I'm totally in the mood for no deadlines, no due dates and everything Fun and Family!

I look forward to being able to design and color more for me and when I want to, instead of on a schedule with themes and requirements! I hope this new fun schedule will allow for more variety in my crafting and better quality work, as I will not be so rushed and pressed for time.

YAY!!

For my card today I used Carly with a Carrot.

She is a doll and so much fun to create with!

I designed this card using Karen's sketch at 

Sweet Sketch Sunday Challenge SSSC155. 

Yep, I flipped the sketch...hope that's okay!!

Have a wonderful Saturday!

The sun is shining and beautiful signs of Spring are all over the place!

Ahhh, God is Good!

Blessings - LORI BOYD
