But I digress. Let's get to the challenge winners, shall we? Put your hands together for these five gorgeous cards and the talented ladies who created them! Check it:

Happy Jars Card by Debby Hughes

Moxie Fab Alert: I absolutely adore the way Debby has given the jars in this light and airy card dimension by adding trendy patterns to their surfaces. The color scheme is drop-dead gorgeous and the sentiment is a perfect addition--this card is all about the "happy."

Spread Happiness Card by Chupa

Moxie Fab Alert: The layering is this card is so expertly done I can hardly stand it. Each element serves to draw your eye to the focal point--the jam jar. And don't you just love the play on words on the label? 

All Kinds of Happy Card by Lisa Arana

Moxie Fab Alert: What a FUN card! I love that each jar has its own "label", and the fact that they each have a different font treatment adds to the joy factor immensely. The patterns and colors in this card are so trendy, and the sentiment treatment is as happy as it implies. And it's amazing to me how tiny details such as the twine tied around the left-most jar and the stars in the right-hand corner can turn an already great card into something truly moxie fab!

Happy Halloween Card by Smitha Katti

Moxie Fab Alert: There is so much style in this card that I am in absolute awe of Smitha's mad skills. I mean, what a trendy and well-designed Halloween card! From the moxie cool shaped jar that she's used for the card base to the green ink that helps the focal point stand out, to the arrangement of the text elements to the haunted house with its subtle web to that creepy spider underlined by the oh-so-appropriate black bow, this card is simply moxie to the ever-living fab!

You are My Treasure Card by Cibele/Flower Foot Designs

Moxie Fab Alert: I can't get over how real the images in this clean and graphic card look. And while the design is simple, that's exactly why this card makes the impact that it does, and yet, there's much more to this card than meets the eye. For example, notice the texture Cibele has added to this card. From the die cut jar to the acrylic she has applied to the shells themselves to the Flower Soft she added to the bottom (not to mention the fact that she ran the front panel through an impression plate), this card has a sophistication and a depth that tickles me right down to my very toes! 

Aren't these cards ah-mazing, friends? I am constantly blown away by the creative approaches all y'all offer!
