We travel back in time to our childhood for the first art theme of 2025 as we recall our earliest memories of collecting. What a journey it must have been for the artists who relived the joy of Bella Sara as they planned their art submission!

For all 3 entries, both primary and secondary categories were evaluated. 

A few observations made:

•  the use of colors created a fantastical element to the entry (and the general memory unlock of Lisa Frank)

• the subjects jumping out of a booster box felt like an animated discovery of the world of North of North (no pun intended because it is a gif entry but the entry did remind us of the Bella Sara trailer where the horses come to life)

• the simplistic design of a  music/jewelry box was reminiscent of a handmade gift from parent to child and also the design of the box was realistic to most children's music boxes

Thank you, everyone, for participating and for sparking so many nostalgic memories.
