Mojo Monday #413

photo Mojo413pic.jpg 

When one is in a hurry to make a Mojo Monday card for the last Monday of the month, after an 8.5 hour power outage, there is a very good chance you forget to make it tall and skinny...cough, cough....  Yes, this is my second go at the sketch due to that exact issue LOL! 

We had a huge wind storm over the weekend which lead to 400,000 people in the Fraser Valley losing power!  Crews are working 24/7 to and some areas are still out.   The good news is we finally got some desperately needed rain too!!!   We still need a ton more, but it was a good start :)

Sorry about the rabbit trail.....on to the card!  Still enjoying this darling Reverse Confetti flowers and added in a big Verve butterfly to keep things even wink, wink {grin}.  Added a few leaf springs using Verve's Sprightly Sprigs dies and stitched circles for a bit of detail.

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.

    Love your mix of flowers and butterfly! Wow, that's a long time to be without power! We could really use rain in our area though haven't gone nearly as long without as you did. I just hate to see everything turn brown and dry up already.
