Yeah, you, over there with that ink on your fingers.
I know, I know, it's a hazard of the craft. All that stamping and all.
But hey, I don't know if you've noticed or not, but we're in the middle of a throwback. A time warp, if you will.
Because there are peace signs all over the gall-durned place. I mean, they are everywhere. And for those of you who are old enough to remember (like me), peace signs were a big deal in the 60s and 70s. And for those of you who aren't old enough to remember (unlike me), I'm sure you can embrace their retro-funky vibe. Check it:
We were so excited about these harbingers of hippie-dom that we focused the July/August Moxie Fabs column on them.
Look what these moxie fab designers did with this groovy little icon:
"Peace"-ful Day Card by Teri Anderson, p. 25Moxie Fab Alert: The sentiment of this card is a perfect fit for the delightful nature of these cutie-pie flowers with peace signs as centers. Isn't this just the happiest little card?
Peace Out Card by Maren Benedict, p. 26Moxie Fab Alert: I love the way Maren has positioned the peace sign in this card, making it feel as though it were a sun! I'd love to be riding off into that sunset, wouldn't you?
Feeling Groovy Card by Kim Kesti, p. 24Moxie Fab Alert: In this fun clean and graphic card, Kim has allowed the iconic nature of this moxie fab paper to speak entirely for itself. Feeling groovy, indeed!
Are you ready to rock the peace signs, friends? I thought you might be. If so, here are the "peaces" you'll need:

My daughters are going to love this! I actually have a peace stamp because they are so into them right now. Peace Out as my youngest would say! Great Challenge!
My 10 yr. old daughter and her friends are soooo into the whole peace sign trend right now. I'm going to have to show her your post featuring all these fun goodies. TFS.
really great peace cards! LOVE the sneakers! thanks for the eye candy, cath!
Oh my, it's Woodstock and Haight Ashbury all over again!
I had to laugh at the inky fingers comment....that's me, in a nutshell! I just bought some really cool tie die paper and peace sign embellies. So this article was encouraging that I'm on trend!
Awesome cards and awesome challenge!!
Don't forget the difference between a peace sign and the Mercedes logo! Center line goes all the way down.
Oh wow does this take me back to the fun years when I drew peace signs all over my school papers! Oooh - what a fun challenge and such lovely inspiration!
Now that hair clip is fab!

Love that peace dove! I am so much the product of the 70's...
How do you set the security on your photo so that it can be copied?

I am so EXCITED about this challenge. I collect anything with a peace sign on it. So looking forward to taking part
Oooh, peace signs are so much fun! I was born in '69, so I guess they're part of my growing up.
Signs are often a universal language - even if we may have different languages the meaning remains the same - fun challenge
Dare I say it???? Yes, I do...I remember the groovy days of peace and love! Lovin' this challenge!
FABULOUS challenge...I'm reliving my misspent youth (lol)

This is my first time to participate so I hope I did it correctly! I actually won this Little Yellow Bicycle Free Spirit kit from you last May and it was perfect to decorate the notebook.
