Please choose 3 of your favorites sets. Yes three!

Thanks again, Jen and Jami, for volunteering your time and effort to host a really awesome holiday challenge. I know I learned a lot and have picked up some great ideas from all the fantastic entries. Now comes the hard part--just glad I only have to anguish over 10 of these gorgeous entries instead of the whole group! The talent that abounds on this site is just amazing!! GOOD LUCK TO ALL THE FINALISTS!!

Oh my goodness! Everyone did such FANTASTIC work! When Jen said she wanted to see your best work you ladies took her seriously! I was happy to jump in at the end and help Jen narrow it down, but boy am I glad she did the hardest work first! LOL!!! She is an awesome hostess!!!
Congrats to all the finalists! I tried to narrow it down to my own top ten and could not get below 14 so I can see why Jami had to step in!!! 6 of my 14 are in Jen's top 10 so that made my voting a little easier! Can't wait to see the final results!

somehow I missed some of the choices as I searched the gallery this weekend. WOWZERS ladies, such outstanding work and creativity!! I really loved seeing the different non card projects. I have made notes for the future.
Thanks Jen and Jami for all your efforts. It made my night to get Jen's PM saying mine was a finalist. It was just a super fun challenge to take part in. They are all winners I think!!
Well I had an absolute blast with this Holiday Challenge, Thank You so much Jen and Jami ! I have tons of ideas for co-worker gifts for Christmas and I can feel Jami already climbing on my shoulder to sit and nudge me along. Congratulations to all the finalists and to everyone else too for a fun group party and the best Art Fair !
Great job ladies! I wasn't around this weekend to play, but it certainly looks like you did a wonderful job and that I missed out on a great challenge!! Somehow I managed to pick three... but they all were AWESOME!
Sure was hard to pick just three! Although I couldn't participate in this challenge, I never could have measured up to the beautiful work everyone else did! Bravo, everyone!!

I hope we repeat this challenge in the future (after I get a camera, LOL) so I really can do some cool stuff...I so would have loved to do a lunchbox-tin.
I BUSTIN' on DH so bad all weekend over the camera, he actually got mad at me today and was like..."Stop Whining"!! LOL
This really was an awesome challenge, and I thank you both
Oh I am so glad I saw this post...I have been looking at all these sets and I must say they are all FABULOUS!!!! Everyone is soooo talented and I think this is the best challenge ever!!
I am so glad it was Jen and Jami that had to do the actual judging to pick the finalists. What a hard job. This was the mosts fun challenge ever and I hope we can do something like it again. I think all of us that took part in this challenge are winners as we learned what we can really do with one sheet of paper. I, for one, shy away from designer paper. I loved making the matching stuff and having to make something other than cards. I loved everyones ideas for non card items and am going to case myself silly making Christmas gifts for all my employees.
Thank you so much Jen for all your work and Jami for the wonderful challenge idea. You both are wonderful!!!!!
I agonized over voting on this! I can honestly say that EVERY entry in this challenge inspired me in a different way. Like Kittie, I'm going to be a casing fool on the non card items.. you created a monster Jen and Jami!! LOL
I'm looking at things around me in a whole new light ;)
I said this before but again.. This challenge rocked my world!
I, too, want to add my thanks to Jen and Jami for the fun challenge. I NEVER would have gotten that triple frame done without this challenge, though it has been in the back of my mind for a year or two now. It was so much FUN, and having that deadline really did mean NOW or NEVER in my mind -- Thank You!!! And, too, it is truly an honor to be listed among the finalists. Thank you for selecting my work!!!
Now, maybe today I can once again attempt to get through some of the entries and make comments. Between trying to get this challenge done and all the activity going on this weekend at home, I haven't been able to spend the time I'd like in that gallery.
Again, thanks to all -- it is SUCH FUN looking at all these FABULOUS entries and seeing all the neat ideas for future projects and gifts!!!
Jen and Jamie--thanks so much for the challenge. I think patterned paper makes everything pretty. Thanks for all your work judging, etc. Based on the amount of great work I've seen for this challenge, you've inspired everyone.
Jen and Jami,
Thank you so much for everything you have done. Although we had a cloud of negativity at one point, the sunshine came through. I know I speak for everyone when I say THANK YOU FOR YOU!!
WOW! It was hard to choose just 3. All of you ladies did such great work. Since this was my first challenge I was a bit overwhelmed so I haven't had time to look at everyones and comment. But you all are so talentedand all of your work inspired me to give this a try! Thanks Jen and Jami for this challenge, I hope I have time to do others in the future.
