'Twas the day after Christmas, when all through the dwelling
Not a creature was stirring, just Moxie Fabbers yelling,
"It's the countdown to New Year's!" they said with a smile.
"It's the whole year in review, a la moxie fab style!"

Vote for your three favies in the poll box beneath my picture in the upper right hand sidebar of this blog (after I've had a chance to add it this morning, that is), THEN leave me a comment by midnight EST on Sunday, December 30 and I'll draw one lucky to win something moxie fab from my moxie magical prize drawer.

some pretty papers here, just waiting until the poll goes up!
Great picks! These collections are all so beautiful. Cashmere Dame from Glitz is my favourite.
Being in Australia means it is already well past morning! Though that's good as it gives me more time to think about my choices before the voting commences. It's hard to pick favourites,all the collections have something great to offer. cheers Linda
I love Cashmere Dame - That is one of my top three! Will vote as soon as the poll is up! thank you!
Oh my this is a though one to choose ...all these collection's are just gorgeous .... its going to be a difficult one for sure!!
This is hard as they all have something really great in them, but if I had to pick one, it would probably be the Cadhmere Dame from Glits, it´s just awesome, but as I said, they all have something cool in them. Will look til the poll comes up here.
Wow!! Such awesome collection!! Indeed very difficult to select top 3!!
Cheers

They are all so fun, colorful and bright! But I have to admit Summer Fresh from Simple Stories has been my favorite! For all my Summer pages, this is the one that keeps coming back to mind.
These are all excellent!! My favorite of them is PB&J.
I had a hard time picking too. Those are all awesome and depending on the project I would use all of them.
These are great, but my favorites were from gcd studios...especially "oh happy day" and "sweet tooth". Also Lily Bee's "Christmas Cheer".
Summer fresh caught my eye even though I'm enjoying our wintry weather.
Summer Fresh by simple stories
Summer Fresh was my fav this year!!!

How on earth do you choose your top 10? That must be a very hard job! Choosing my top 3 was very hard, but I decided on Sugar Chic by Heidi Swapp, On Trend by Crate Paper, and Everyday Eclectic by Echo Park. Thanks for the chance to win.
I have no idea how to pick a favorite from such a great bunch of designs!! I love it all!
I {heart} the Cashmere Dame collection! I won the entire collection on the Moxie Fab blog a while ago and have been playing with it like crazy. Thanks again!
It was hard to choose so I just went with Simple Stories. These collections are all beautiful and can be used in so many ways.
Some great patterns :) I hope you had a great Christmas :) Hugs and kisses from Croatia!
Those are some beautiful papers. It was difficult to pick only 3 favs, but I did it. I wish I could get my hands on the Everydaty Eclectin from EPP.

There are some goodies here--I picked my three!
How to choose?!
They are all awesome! I hope you had an amazing Christmas!!
Well, I'm out of town and can't vote from my phone right now, but I do love your choices, especially EP's Everyday Eclectic, BG's PB&J, and a few others you didn't mention...Amy Tan's other collection, Ready Set Go and Studio Calico's Yearbook among them.
There really are so many great offerings from the paper crafting companies this year! I'll vote when I get on my in-laws' computer after running around post-Xmas today. :)

Everyday Eclectic from Echo Park Paper: the best!!
PB&J & Cachemire Dame are my favies.

I voted. These sure are some wonderful collections. That was a hard decision. Thanks for the chance to win. HUGS
I own 2 of these collections and they are definitely among my favourites - Amy Tangerine and Christy Tomlinson She art are so incredibly creative and lots of fun. For my 3rd I chose Studio Calico, but they are all gorgeous and have now been added to my wish list. I am a paper pad junkie!!!
Love all of these collections! The Amy Tangerine was definitely my favorite this year!
I love all these collections!

I voted. I love Sketchbook.
Not so easy picking only three. All of them were beautiful.
I voted! TFS! and for a chance to win!
It was tough to choose, but Summer Fresh was my favorite!
All great collections!
Fabulous collections! Just voted!
great choices, Cath! You've picked some of my favs too!
I love all of them but was able to pick top three. :)
Papers are my downfall. I collect and then mourn when I use them. Is there a 12 step program?
Glitz, Echo Park, and Simple Stories are my top faves-but these are all beautiful collections and I could use them all! :) Hope you had a very Merry Christmas!
So tough to choose! These are all fabulous.
Love Summer Fresh, On Trend and Everyday Eclectic! I hope that my faves win the vote!
Great picks here, Cath!
Looks like you have a fun week planned for us.
Hope you had a wonderful Christmas :)
Fun to see your top 10! None of these would have made my own top 10 (though they are beautiful!), but it just shows how many amazing collections come out each year. It's great that there's truly something for everyone.
We had some great collections this year! Excited to see what the new year will bring.
So hard to pick just three as they are all beautiful! Thanks for sharing the pretty papers with us!
There were so many awesome collections this year! I really loved all of these that you have chosen!
Cashmere Dame from Glitz Design is my favorite.
Well I voted, but it was a toughie as I love them all!!! :)

summer fresh is my favorite, followed by cashmere dame and take note. i wish i had one of them, let alone all!
Cashmere Dame is luxurious!
That was fun to vote and see how others voted.... I loved Summer Fresh and it was fun to find out that others felt the same way.
I'm a patterned paper fanatic; I voted for my three favorites but they are all terrific!
You definitely had three of my favorites on your list (and I have many more - but I would have included My Mind's Eye The Sweetest Thing!!!)
Thanks for sharing! It'll be fun to see who ends up with the most votes!
Voted! :) Thanks for the chance!

Some great collections. Lots of bright and fun colors and patterns in them all.
Some great collections! PB&J is my favourite, that's the only one I have in my collection.
I have been outta the loop for a varity of reasons, I have missed soooo much fun papers. I love anything from EP and the Pebbles pack is what I would create if I was creative that way :)
There were so many great ones; it was a tough decision, but I voted.
Oh, Simple Stories Summer Fresh just rocked my crafty world this year - I must have made 30 cards with the mini-deck. Easily. I LOVED it. Narrowing down my other two choices....eeeps! All of them are awesome :)
Everyday Eclectic from Echo Park has to be my favorite this year! Tough to narrow it down to three, but I managed to cast my votes for the top three collections from 2012! :)
Thanks for these awesome picks! Got my vote in!!
They are all pretty! Cashmere Dame is my favorite.
It's hard to choose...they are all so awesome!
PG&J has got to be one of my favs!

I can see why these are your top ten favorites! Great picks!
Thank you for sharing all that is new and exciting and beautiful with us.
Everyday Eclectic is my favorite!
I adore Everyday Eclectic..it's my fave to craft with!
Cashmere Dame, P&J and Simple Stories. Have not had access to Glitz, but go to P&J and Simple Stories over and over again!
wow - these are all fabulous lines, but my favorite is the Summer Fresh.
I voted in the poll for the inspiration.
So many awesome collections in 2012....my faves were Seen and Noted, Amy Tangerine and Summer Fresh by Simple Stories.
Loved all of them but I had the most fun with Summer Fresh by Simple Stories! Actually anything by Simple Stories would be a fav of mine!
Could not agree with you more on the collections pick! I already voted although I never enter any of the challenges but I did follow up closely. Hope I can find some time next year to join the fun!
My top 3 would be
Everyday Eclectic from Echo Park
Summer Fresh from Simple Stories
PB&J from Basic Grey
Wow, kinda glad that I missed voting on these. I would have a hard time choosing just three!!
My top 3 would be summer fresh, everyday eclectic and seen and noted
