SASPC January 2019 - Top 5 and Prize Winners

Hi, servus and welcome to the announcement of our January Top 5 artists and the two lucky winners of the prizes generously donated by the lovely ladies from DecoArt and boozybear!

Just let me start with reminding you of our actual February challenge that is still open until the end of the month (and can be found by either scrolling down to the previous post or by clicking the top image on our side bar) and that offers another opportunity to make Top 5 or win one or the other wonderful prize bundle ;)

January brought a lot of amazing entries and this time picking our favourites ended up in the team being rather split with Top votes...which has led to four (!) projects getting fourth-most points (not sure if this is proper English...lol). So there are a Top 7 instead of just five this time and we present them in no particular order as always.


Applause, applause for....

Mila

who created a huge bundle of amazing

steampunk ATCs

Sara

who amazed us with a super grungy masculine card

Julia

who enchanted us with her charming steampunk balloon

Karin 

aka crea_red

with a cool steampunk top hat

(as it was a project entered via Instagram, I can only display this tiny image of her make)

Aisha

who has created steampunk magic on this beautiful mixed media canvas

Tina 

with another fabulous project that I cannot show on here in larger size due to being an Instagram entry

and

(my personal favourite)

JulD's

magical lantern made from an old liquor bottle

Huge congrats, ladies, and thanks so much for sharing your fantastic art with us! Please, feel free to grab our Top 5 badge for display on your blogs (if you have one ;).

(honestly I am not sure about how to deal with Instagram entries in a way that they can be treated evenly when it comes to challenge blogging possibilities...not being able to show a proper size image on here if a project entered via Instagram made our Top 5, feels awkward and looks wrong to me somehow....only having snippet images to show is definitely not apt to draw attention to your projects and lure one or the other new follower over to your account or blog or whatever it is you're sharing your art on ....hmmm).

And now on to our winners of the two amazing prize bundles!

As usual these were randomly picked from all proper entries (meaning that there was a link to our challenge blog in the project post on their blogs AND that they met all our other few challenge rules) - please, make sure, you check these out if you haven't already done so...maybe you have already been wondering why you haven't made Top 5 with us so far and it is just a matter of challenge rules not having been followed properly. There really are only a few (but crucial rules) to follow and we have to be precise with that as we want to be fair when it comes to picking our two lucky winners!
This time there was the possibility to double chances as each entry that mentioned any "new stash" used in their projects in their posts counted twice!!!!

This year DecoArt are giving away a new fantastic bundle of Americana premium paints and media

and this time the goodies go to

#21 - Autumn

while the surprise package of awesome steampunk chippies from boozybear

#3 - Sara Emily

Yay! Congrats on your prize wins, ladies! Please, email me your shipping info (DecoArt winners, please, include a phone number to provide safe shipping) under the email address you see in the side bar. Thanks for playing along and have fun with your new goodies!

The team and I would like to thank all our players - as always - for all the amazing entries and for making this challenge blog the special mixed media spot it has become. We love to inspire and in return get inspired by you!!!!

We hope to see you play along with us soon (maybe even join in our February challenge?)!!!

Hugs and happy crafting!

Claudia & the SASPC Team
