"There's no law....

that says you have to make a Mojo Card."  said my DH when I complained about the Tall and Skinny Mojo Sketch this week.  And he is absolutely right, as usual.  It's just how I like to start off my crafting week.  So here it is....

https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidMeY5COvmHsVBe25tidgy1iTR5O7pn_zVwylF7WSu41VYu7tGTkLgM3iYyx-rSIAGA5sgktnAUy8gwLvoH1BCQef7nGC3YlXxYIFcO6qzB_vwboM68Izw1YMFzB41jpetltCu1TmnYvyW/s1600/Mojo352Sketch.gif



Believe it or not, by making this card tall and skinny it decreases the amount of available writing space on the card by 12.375 square inches.  That quite a bit.  And even though it still fits in an A2 envelope, a requirement for OWH, that 12.375 square inches could mean a lot to person writing home and/or the person anxiously awaiting news from a loved one deployed far away from home.  Which is why I made a few alterations before adding it to the OWH box.

Sentiment and layered ornament stamps are CTMH.

I am submitting this card to the following challenges:
613 Avenue Create Challenge #78 - Anything Goes (Congrats on reaching 600 followers!)
Addicted to Stamps Challenge #85 - Polka Dots 
Opus Gluei Challenge #126 - All Tied Up (ribbon, twine, or string)

Polkadoodles Challenge Week 26 - Red, White or Blue
The Stamping Boutique Challenge - Red, White and Blue  (Thanks for the freebie!)

Wishing everyone a blessed week!
