The Three Cheers for Chairs Challenge Winners

I'm super excited to show you the winners of the Three Cheers for Chairs Challenge, so let's get right to it, shall we?

Let's Get Together Card by Lucy Abrams

Moxie Fab Alert: I love absolutely everything about this card. The soft color scheme, those moxie fab Victorian chairs pointing towards one another, the sentiment in a font that matches the rest of the card perfectly, and the understated button treatment that grounds it all. Moxie fab, indeed!

Missing You Card by Angela Hathikhanavala

Moxie Fab Alert: It's the balance in this card that helps to make it so magical. The overstuffed chair in its cute little pattern with its sweet little pillow all to the right of the rug, the subtly stamped background, the fluffed up scalloped coordinating border with the matchy-matchy rick rack on the right, the perfectly placed sentiment--all are harmonious. As Lawrence Welk used to say, wunnerful, wunnerful, wunnerful! (Don't judge me. I used to have to watch that show endlessly when I was a little girl visiting my grandma.)

You Rock Card by Tiffany Heilman

Moxie Fab Alert: Well, everyone knows how I love a punny sentiment. Pair that with some expertly coordinated patterns and colors and what do you get? Moxie fabulousness!

Have a Seat Window Pane by Lindsay

Moxie Fab Alert: Um. Hello? Have you ever seen such a cool piece of home decor? How cool would this look sitting on a shelf or hanging on a dramatically painted wall? I know, right?

Relax Card by Angela P.

Moxie Fab Alert: I love this retro chair, but I moxie love the perspective Angela has achieved by angling the mat the way she did. Love the colors, love the sentiment treatment, love the patterned paper--moxie love how it all works together!

You likey? Leave these ladies some love by midnight MDT on Sunday, May 16 and I'll draw one random winner to win something yummy from my magical prize drawer!

Congratulations to these talented winners and thanks to everyone who played!

Winners, please send me your addresses in an email to me at cedvalson@papercraftsmag.com with "Three Cheers for Chairs" in the subject line and I'll send you your "I'm Moxie Fab" challenge winner badges as well as your moxie fab prizes!

In the meantime, I'll be announcing the next challenge tomorrow, and trust me, you're really going to want to wrap yourselves up in this one!

Feeling chair-ful,

~Cath

I fell in love with the "Miss you card" by Angela, there's just something about that color combination, and love that cute chair! And the patterns were also lovely.

Another favourite is the "Have a seat" window pane, I mean, that's awesome!

Have a nice wednesday!
