With Christmas just a few days away there's just time to drop by and announce the results of Challenge #25 - The Christmas Story. A very big thank you to everyone who played along with this challenge and while this was a really tricky challenge to judge it was one which brought Janis and I a great deal of pleasure.
Thanks to Janis for book-ending a year of challenges here at The Christmas Kickstart - it's been great having you wear the elf hat again.
Our top picks are:
Stunning silhouette against a gorgeous background.
LeAnne's subtle colouring and limited colour palette just wowed us.
What a fabulous way to use that die set
and the placement of the sentiment is perfect.
While this is primarily a cardmaking challenge, both of us
fell head over heels for Julia stunning tag.
Our Winners for this challenge are:
Marcia's attention to detail blew us away!
We love the simplicity of the embossed sentiment
and the stylised tree in the gradient colors.
Congratulations to you all, please grab your blog badges.
Finally, Rudolph is back for one last pre-Christmas Random Raffle draw, plus a little seasonal message for you all.

Once again, very many thanks to everyone who has played along in this challenge and the other challenges throughout the year.

We'll take a short break over the festive season, but I hope to see you all on 31st December for the launch of our next challenge.
Have a wonderful Christmas and happy holidays to you all!
