The trend for this issue couldn't be more popular, inviting, or easy to use. For we're hooked on hexagons, friends, and ready to help you "line up" a whole new "side" to your creativity. Check out these six-sided wonders from the wide, wide world. Whether you are inspired by their position, palette, or pattern, you can't deny that these hexagons are highly hypnotic!
But wait! There's more! Take a looky-loo at these moxie fab projects from the column itself:
Hexagon Hi Card by Kim Kesti, p. 32
Moxie Fab Alert: When featuring a pattern like hexagons as the focus of your design, consider jazzing it up with trendy colors as Kim has done in this retro-graphic card.
Sew Happy Card by Betsy Veldman, p. 31
Moxie Fab Alert: As you can see from the examples above, hexagons are often used in quilting, and by sewing these paper-pieced hexagons together, Betsy has not only played on a sewing theme, but she's given her card some moxie fab texture and dimension as well.
New Day Card by Danielle Flanders, p. 32
Moxie Fab Alert: Don't be afraid to double-up on trends. The hexagons in this card are reminiscent of a rainbow, another shapely icon which is all the rage these days.
Are you inspired enough to give this a try? To throw your six-cornered hat into the ring? To toss all caution to the wind and have some actual (as opposed to virtual) and oh-so-moxie-fab fun?
If so, here's the 411 on how to do just that:
- Create a paper crafted project (card, gift bag, tag, layout, home decor item, mini-book cover, etc.) that incorporates hexagons in an innovative way.

- Tell your readers that you've created your project for the Hooked on Hexagons Challenge in the Moxie Fab World and link it back to this post to encourage your readers to play along as well.

i loved those cards in the issue. thanks for giving us a chance to play along!
Cath, what a fun, fun challenge! I was probably about ten when I first got hooked on hexagons. We had to do a sewing project in school and after lots of cutting and (wonky!) stitching my little granny's flower garden table mat was complete. I had so much fun with that project and have been delighted to see hexagons popping up all over the place recently. The cards from the current issue are wonderful and I enjoyed seeing the other projects here too:)
This challenge is MADE for me! Oh do I love hexagons! Love the inspiration photos....off to make and post!!
What fantastic inspiration! Adore the beautiful pillows posted!
Loving this hexagonal craze!
This challenge is so perfect. I loved the exact post Cath is referring to and I've linked my card creation inspired by that very article. Don't you just love Paper Crafts magazine?!
ooooo!! ooooooo!! [other Arnold Horshack noises of enthusiasm!]
Me too. I have my hand raised, I'm hooked on hexagons.
oh WOW, where do you find these awesome ideas?! I pinned 3 of them : ) The hexagons in the trees, the tiny images in the hexagons, and the faces in the hexagons. Love them!
this is one trend that always catches my eye! hope I get the chance to play along.... :)
love the inspiration photos and projects displayed!
I am catching the hexagon trend and this post just put me over the top in love with hexagons. Thanks for the inspiration and fun challenge.
Now I am off to create a cool hexagon card! LOVE the one that looks like a rainbow! Thanks for keeping me up to date on what is hot Cath and for your frequent posts... now to figure out how to work with Mr. Linky from my blog posting... hmmm Kathi
I am all about the hexagons lately! Great challenge and inspirations. Thanks!
I have to try this hexagon challenge. I was hypnotized by the article in last months magazine and thought then that I needed to use the shape in something...I think this just convicted me!
It's been AGES since I used my hexagon punch! Thanks for the chance to dust it off! :)
Had the die and hadn't used it... now I have ... woohooo... I remember making lots of hexagons by hand when I was in school to make a patchwork cushion. Such fun. Thanks Cath.
I was so excited to be able to play along, that I made two cards for starters...great challenge! I love hexagons too!
I've just entered my first ever Moxie Fab Challenge :) So thrilled to play along.
By the way, I love the hexagons on your blog masthead. Fortunately, as a subscriber, I can look at PC Magazine on line b/c the mailman sent my copy back as undeliverable? Really? How could he do that - or more to the point WHY? I was right here!
What a fun & trendy challenge! I had a lot of fun making my card. Thanks Cath!
Great Challenge!

I had such fun playing along! I apologize for the bad link I provided, and I added a new one just below it.
Had fun working with the hexagons - didn't have any stamps or dies but found a template online so I used that! Love the inspiration photos :)
Thanks for hosting this fabulous challenge. Ever since hearing that hexagons are hot right now I wanted to make a card with them but somehow never got a round to it. This gave me the motivation to make a card using hexagons. LOL! As well as a chance to play with yogurt foil lids for part of the paper used.
All of the entries I've looked at so far are fabulous. Off to check out more of the entries.
couldn't help making a second hexagon card! I just love them so much!
I wanted to use hexagons with Christmas. Hope you enjoy!!
