First up--our All Occasion challenge. All occasion cards are those cards that encompass occasions that don't fit anywhere else. Missing you, hello, friendship, encouragement, thinking of you, blank, etc. It's typically one of the largest sections in all of our card-focused special issues, and it is one of the top five categories for which you, our readers, paper craft.
Here's one of the 34 moxie fab all occasion cards from the issue that I wanted to share with you today. I love the play on the word "chick," and I love how Kristen has used soft and bold colors in combination with soft and bold designs. You get the sense that this little chickadee is going to be just fine when it is launched into the world.

The chick on that card reminds me so much of a wall hanging that my Great-Grandmother stitched years before I was born. I still have that stitched piece.
I've finished my christmas cards, and I'm ready to put them in the mail. So I look forward to participating in this challenge.
What a fun challenge! This was a nice break from holiday cards. Thanks for the inspiration!
I agree with Christina, this challenge was a nice break from the holiday cards that we are all so entrenched in right now.
