Don't Cry Because It's Over , Smile Because It Happened ... DP2 Challenge #166

The current challenge at DP2 is "Fave Mo Card Made By You" ... I found it hard to find my fave card, cos I love most of them ;) so I chose one using what has to be my fave image ... 


"Mariko is Mad" just has to be one of the most adorable images I have on my lappy and I've used her loads this year, which is unfortunate cos she's been used for sympathy cards ....


... I placed her on the inside too with a heartfelt verse ...


The beautiful sentiment is from HERE and the papers are a freebie off the net and I can't find them now! 

Winter Wonderland .... Magnolia Down Under Challenge #178
