Challenge #247--Anything Goes/optional card for a boy w/Mo image

WOW!  Our Mo fans came out in droves for the last challenge.  We were so excited to see so many of you participating.

Unfortunately we have to start off this post with a bit of sad news.  Two of our wonderful designers are leaving us.  Elaine Leinhart has been with the team almost since the beginning and has been a whole -hearted representative for Mo's amazing images.  It wasn't unusual to find multiple cards displayed in her weekly posts.  Nela Kammerl-Noe from Germany was one of our most creative members.  She loved to show Mo's images in such wonderfully unique card designs as well as other papercraft projects.  They will both be soooo missed.

The year is getting along to a rolling start and it's already the second Thursday in February, so it's time for a new bi-weekly challenge!

But first, I know you all want to know who our winners were so let's find out.  Fifty+ entries were a lot of Mo goodness to peruse through.  Our choices weren't easy, but here are our Top 3 picks.

Now onto this week's challenge...we have our "Anything Goes" theme as well as the option of creating a "Boys will be boys" project.  Our lovely hostess Amanda chose the subject of a card for a boy and she has created an amazing gamer card complete with retro Pac-Man paper!

Challenge #246--Anything Goes/optional warm w/Mo's image

Looks like this year is going to be rolling along just as fast as the last one.  It's already time for our new bi-weekly challenge here at Mo's.
It also looks like you really liked our Anything Goes challenge last week.  We had lots of fabulous cards to ogle over.  We have some wonderful changes coming up in the near future that we hope you will like just as well.

Our hostess this time around is our sweet Daria.  Her wonderful acetate card creations are beyond amazing.  Here'a sneaky peak at her inspiration for this week using the beautiful Gathering Kindling.

I know you all want to know who our winners were so let's find out.  It sure was no easy task to pick a Top 3 with all the amazing entries you gave us to pick from, but here's what we came up with.

Mo's Top 3

So now I guess you all want to know what the theme of the next challenge is.  Well here's where one of our new changes comes in.  Since you like the Anything Goes challenges so much, we've decided to do them for every challenge.  However, we will continue to offer an optional theme supplied by our DT hostesses.  This week Daria has offered the optional challenge of creating a Warm card (images with anything that makes you warm - cup of coffee, sweaters, blankets etc.).  The choice is up to you.
