We're so "distressed" this week at Mo's!

Wheet whooooo!! It's Thursday . . . and I am so, soooooo excited that it's almost the weekend!! Guess what I'm doing this weekend . . . give up?! I'm taking the train to New York City to hang out with my "bestie" and sweet DT sistah, Debbie! And we are going to eat and drink and laugh and go to the theater and just play "tourists"! I can't wait!!! I promise to take pics to show you all next week! hehe!!

OK . . . so, it's time for another fun challenge at Mo's DP2 Challenge Blog! This week's challenge theme is . . .

"Distressing"

So I tried something just a little different . . .

For this week's card, I decided to make a "Joy Fold Card" with one of Mo Manning's most adorable fairies EVER!! This sweet image is from the "3 Baby Fairies" collection and is available HERE in Mo's online store. I just love this cutie's wispy hair and chubby tummy! Here's a bit of a side view . . .

I actually made this card for my sweet daughter-in-law, Christy (mother to 3 of our 6 grandkiddos, Ava, Mia, & Isla Bleu). Her birthday is TODAY!! Ruh roh!! Good thing she doesn't read my blog, 'cuz if she did, she'd have to fake being really, really surprised when the card finally arrives in her mailbox next week! Yep . . . it's true . . . I haven't mailed it yet! But, hey . . . I MADE it in time, at least!! That's good for me!! bwahahaha!! Here's a peek at the inside . . .
