Merry Christmas! Today I’m checking in to share the final batch of challenge winners for 2013.

This week we have three special entries to spotlight:

#44 Shirl has a piece with lots of stunning black and white. Dan says: I love the grungy background she’s created with paint and her use of molding paste with one of Tim’s stencils really pops.

#139 Anja has a card that I can’t stop looking at! Meihsia says: There are so many beautiful details on her project. The Christmas Blueprint stamps and the layers of embellishments are truly gorgeous. Ashli says: Her use of the mini blue print stamps is gorgeous – the way she added the color and texture really brings them to life. So very eye catching!

#156 BarbaraYaYa works her magic with Tim’s ice skating die. Tracy says: gorgeous tag, I love the natural elements with the greenery and weather cones and the skates are stunning. Love the chalkboard element too. Lovely.
