Uniko Challenge #50 .........

Happy Friday .......

I can't believe we're on the last day of November ..... only 24 days to go until Christmas!!  Are you all ready for the big day?  No ...... Me neither!

Let's see November out with a little reminder about the latest Uniko Challenge.
It's Challenge #50 and the theme is ......... Celebrate


As you can see from the gorgeous inspiration photo there's an optional twist too ........ GOLD.  Perfect for this time of year.  In fact looking at the photo now, I'm thinking New Years Eve and parties ...... but hey! let's not get ahead of ourselves shall we ...... it's not quite December yet.

I'm still making Christmas cards ........ and I've a few more to go yet.  Here's one based on this month's challenge ......


I've taken some of the colours and added in the optional twist with a touch of gold heat embossing


The sentiment is from the Uniko Festive Sentiments set ..... I love the two different fonts that are in these stamps and there's so many sayings that you an create.

The set with the snowflakes in, is unfortunately out of stock on the website at the moment ....... BIG & BOLD Snow .......  I'm sure it'll be back on there soon though.

I simply stamped the snowflakes in various inks ...... blue, gold, silver


and also heat embossed some using gold, white and a clear sparkle powder.

A few dots of glitter glue, and a little Distress Ink brushed around the edge, and we're done


You have until midnight (GMT) on Friday December 21st to play along, so lots of time to join in the fun.
Check out the Uniko Blog for full challenge details, and also more inspiration from the rest of the Design Team.

Thanks for popping by .... enjoy the rest of your day and have a lovely weekend.
We're off out with a group of friends this evening.  A few weeks ago Chris started a new job.  He's left the brewery and is now Bar Manager at a large Thai restaurant in Douglas, so we're going to check it out.  Surprisingly we haven't been before ..... we've tasted their street food at the Food Festivals which was delicious, but we've never actually been to the restaurant.  Could this become a new favourite perhaps!

Cheerio until next time ....... see you in December!

Happy Friday folks ...... How's your week been? Only two more Friday's before Christmas .... just saying! It's the first Friday in December though, and that means there's a new Craft Stamper Take It Make It Challenge .... the last one of 2018!! We've had a great year on the challenge ..... lots of fabulous entries each month,  and a whole load of amazing winners.  Take It Make It fans ....... you're a very talented bunch! Thank you all for your support. As the festive season is just around the corner, I had to make my inspiration piece a Christmas card ...... plus I still have some more to send! I must say, I'm really liking stamping onto coloured cardstock at the moment and I love this shade of blue from Stampin Up! ..... it's called Blueberry Bushel I started by stamping my sentiment in the centre (from Simon Says Stamp) and heat embossing with WOW's  Platinum Embossing Powder (another current favourite!) I then stamped the snowflakes around the ...

Happy Sunday evening ....... I hope you've enjoyed the weekend. Yeah!!! The Christmas tree is done ....... finally!  Or rather, it will be when I put the last of the baubles on that I got today.  Hopefully there'll be enough on there now.  I'll take some pictures later and you can let me know what you think. The Christmas presents are nearly all bought too ...... they just need wrapping now.  I think I've got everything, I was out shopping this afternoon with the kids ...... they may be easier to buy for now they're older ...... just more expensive!  We met up with hubby ..... he managed to avoid the actual shopping bit, clever that!  We had a lovely family lunch out which was nice .... it's not often its just the four of us. OK .... back to business.  It's time to get the final  Happy Little Stampers CAS challenge  of 2018 underway ....... As you can see, December's theme is ..... Emboss.  What's your favourite way of adding embossing t...

Happy Wednesday ....... My goodness has it done some raining here today.  If it carries on much longer we're going to need a boat!!  The garden at the back looks like a lake ...... Never mind ...... it's the perfect weather for staying cozy and warm, and finishing off all those Christmas cards.  Yeah! I'm almost done ..... I said this week was going to be a good one. I've even got the international cards in the post, and some of the UK ones are all ready to go. They would have been on their way today but, I decided to stay dry and finish off what was on my desk instead ....... This bunch of Jolly Santas are waiting for the little man to collect them ..... 30 cards for all his school pals.  I'm glad the Santa was easy to fussy cut!! Stamped in black ink and heat embossed in clear, coloured with ZIG markers and fussy cut. A little touch of glitter before attaching them onto the cards using a piece of folded acetate so that they bounce a little .... They look so cute! ...
