Mojo Monday #373

photo Mojo372.jpg

It's Tall and Skinny week over on the Mojo Monday blog.  I just love making this size of card - it changes up the layout size and it's amazing how lopping off 1/2" can make such a dramatic difference in the card's appearance.  That being said, my brain was going a hundred miles an hour the day I made this card, thinking about all I had to get done etc., when thankfully it idled just long enough to make me realize I had cut my card base a regular A2 size.  A quick 1/2" trim down the right side and I was back on track - phew!

I am hoarding this Bo Bunny snowflake paper as I just love it.  Got it a few years ago at my LSS and it only comes out to play on special occasions LOL!  Perfect for a Mojo card as it has Verve's signature colours of brown and aqua :)   The sentiment is from the newly released Weary World, my favorite set from this last release as it is full of quotes from some of my favorite Christmas carols.  Have caught myself humming more than once while working with this set.

All the challenge details are over on the Mojo Monday blog and you can also view all the wonderful Mojo Makers samples.  Should you wish more details on the Mojo Maker's cards, you can also visit their individual blogs noted below.

    I can certainly see why you are hoarding it - it's gorgeous. You've shown it off beautifully with the simple panels and elegant sentiment. I love the jingle bells and the texture in the blue strip.
