Happy New Year and welcome back to As You See It Challenges with Challenge #364. Team member Deborah brings us a Fill in the Blank Challenge we're calling Craft Room Additions, but which we could have easily called Craft Room Addictions because......same thing, amIright?

Winners for Challenge #363 - Neutral Night
We're excited to announce the winners of Challenge #363 because the Featured Artist will be our Guest Designer for the next Recipe Challenge on January 30! Those deep, moody neutrals were great to experiment with and produced some wildly differing final products! Give them a check!
Here are the winners for this challenge:
We had a tie for Top Pick:
Johanna created a charming outdoor winter scene using the challenge colours even though the main colour was the dark Night of Navy! The Design Team loved the depth and texture Johanna created, those beautiful Mossy Meadows trees, but especially the snowfall texture in the background - the perfect touch. Congrats on winning Top Pick, Johanna!
Sandra Strobel has amazed the Design Team again with an entry of incredible detail. It's a good thing her chocolate bar was a photo, because if it was in real life, we would be tempted to break off a piece to eat, it's so realistic. The choices of different types of paper makes this entry a contender. The definition of neutrals in the rules has some room for interpretation here, and the life-liked quality and masterful workmanship tipped the scales in Sandra's favour! Congratulations on being Top Pick #2, Sandra!
Our Featured Artist is: Jaydee
As Featured Artist this week, Jaydee will also be invited to be our next Guest Designer! Amanda's beautifully shaped winter scene using the challenge colours features great texture and variety. I'd display that decor in my house! The Design Team love the garland at the top of the wooden sled and the details on the old skates. Congratulations, Jaydee, you will be our next Guest Designer for our Recipe Challenge in on January 30. We will be in touch!

Challenge #363 - Neutral Night
Well, can you believe it? Our last challenge of 2025! Where has the year gone?? It seems like just yesterday we were starting the year fresh! And we're ending it the same way we started it - with a colour challenge! This one is a Neutral Colour Challenge and it was designed by our former team mate, Jane. Take a look at the challenge banner:
Some of you may not agree that Mossy Meadow and Night of Navy be classed as neutrals, but they are in the Neutral family of colours at Stampin' Up! For our Colour Challenges, we ask that you use all three of the challenge colours ONLY, except for a neutral (black, white, vanilla, beige) as an outline or for a sentiment. (See guidelines below.)
The exciting news is that the Featured Artist and Winner of this Challenge will have the opportunity to be our Guest Designer in the new year at our next Recipe Challenge, so keep that in mind when you enter!

Winners for Challenge #362 - Bits and Pieces
We loved the variety of thought and design our sketch brought to the entries for our Bits and Pieces challenge! We faced the challenge of choosing winners once again.. and we were able to pick winners from among all the beauties entered!
Here they are:
We have a tie for Top Pick:
Our first Top Pick is: Jolanda Johnstone
Jolanda has created a most whimsical and entertaining take on the sketch. The varied background papers all work so well together on top of the gorgeously embossed card front! The focal point image is humorous and look at that multicoloured sentiment! The Design Team felt that it all adds up to a worthy Top Pick! Congrats, Jolanda!
Our second Top Pick is: Jaydee
Jaydee has used some compelling DSP for the rectangular elements of the sketch! She deserves a medal just for having the courage to cut into it! The Design Team loved the way that it formed the main substance of her card! The neutral circle and the vellum square manage to take a back seat and the beautifully embossed sentiment creates a focal point, without detracting from the beautiful paper. Congrats on being a Top Pick, Jaydee!
Our winning entry, Amy Koenders, the Featured Artist, has created a beautiful birthday card featuring gorgeous contrasts. She has also used texture in her background. The kraft and pink, white and dark brown is a stunning palette! Note the die cut sentiment that forms the horizontal element of the sketch! It's so bold and eye catching, but doesn't detract from the delicate nature of the florals! Congratulations on being our Featured Artist, Amy !
And we think you may want to check out the following Honorable Mentions on their site:
11. Denise Willerton
Join us tomorrow for our next challenge, a Colour Challenge with a chance for the winner to be a guest designer for a challenge! Our winners today can pick up their badges on this page and display them with pride on their blogs or sites.
