First we want to re-announce the winner of the fabulous prize package:

Wonderful project and love your YT hop! So many beautiful colors and layers!

Congratulations, Terry! Please email us at mbstreasurista@gmail.com to claim your prize! This is the amazing prize that she won!



So grab a cup of coffee or hot tea and sit back and enjoy the highlights... 

First we have Misty, she created this Beautiful Mixed Media Canvas:

"I had so much fun making this. This is one of my absolute favorite color combos for Christmas! I did so much layering and totally rocked it out with all the mixed media elements. But of course one of my favorite things about this canvas is looking in the window at the little girl decorating the Christmas tree. I hope you like it!"
