From die-cut machines to embossing tools to cutting tools to punches to adhesives to stamping tools, this 164-page issue will give you more creative ideas on how to use your favorite paper crafting gadgets and gizmos than you ever thought possible!
And not only that, but next week here in the Moxie Fab World and on our sister blog, Paper Crafts Connection, we'll be celebrating BIG TIME with challenges, inspiration, and prizes, prizes, prizes!
Allow me to whet your whistle just a smidge. Here are five yummies from the issue that are a mere taste of what you'll find inside the pages of its folds. Check it:

Moxie Fab Alert: In this joyful card, Tanis shows us how to stamp on masking tape as part of our Adhesives section.
For You Photo Tag by Julia Stainton, p. 99
Moxie Fab Alert: In this thoughtful and oh-so-gorgeous tag, Julia shows us how to use the i-top by Imaginisce on a photo.
Pals Card by Teri Anderson, p. 135
Moxie Fab Alert: Hailing from our section on household tools entitled Around the House, the secret to this fun, bright card is the use of an emery board to create the distressed effects.
Shape Thanks Card by Jennifer McGuire, p. 19
Moxie Fab Alert: In this dreamy card created from watercolor paper, Jennifer has taken her design to the next level by creating a unique card shape by using a die-cut machine.

What's that? Is that your eyebrows rising on your face as you ponder this fascinating concept? I can see your hand coming up to your cheek in a gesture of intrigue, your finger tapping as you consider its possibilities. I can sense your curiosity as I leave you with just these five projects, begging for more...
And more you shall have beginning on Monday of next week. In the meantime, leave me a comment by midnight EST on Sunday, January 8 and I'll draw one random lucky to win a copy of this moxie resourceful issue!
