Week 346–Special Anniversary challenge

*** WARNING – LONG POST ***

Grab a cuppa and a biscuit (or two) and make yourself comfortable!

Good morning dear crafters. We hope you had a wonderful week last week and managed to fit some crafting into your busy schedules.  Thank you for your gorgeous entries to last week’s "sparkle and shine" challenge.  Nic will certainly have her work cut out for her when she has to pick her top 5 passionista.  Don't forget to check back later to find out who she has chosen and also to see if you are the lucky winner of the 2 digis courtesy of All Dressed Up stamps. 

Onto this week's theme and we have a very special challenge for you this week as it's our 7th Anniversary. Can you believe it's been 7 years since Gina and myself started our little blog to share our love of all things Letraset?  It only seems like yesterday when we nervously made our first post!  As it's a special challenge we have a really easy theme for you of "spots and/or stripes", you can create anything you like as long as it has either spots or stripes or both!!  Please note we are only accepting a maximum of 3 entries per person for this one challenge only.  To be eligible for our prize draw you must use your Letraset products (i.e. pro, flex, tria, aqua, metallic or neon markers) and of course follow the theme.  As always we have some fantastic prizes up for grabs and our sponsors have been very generous as usual .  Here we go....

The lovely Beverley from Uniko stamps also made a card for us and she wrote a quick bio about herself too:

“Hey! I’m Beverley the owner & designer of Uniko.

Uniko specialises in clear stamps designed and made here in the UK and has been going since February 2012. Uniko is a very small business run by myself (with a little help from my hubby, who keeps an eye on the accounts & helps with website stuff), otherwise I design the stamps & dies, create using them, blog, package the products, answer emails and everything else entailed with running a small business! Along with all of that I am also a full time mummy to 20 month old twin boys - the beans!

I am thrilled to be supporting and sponsoring this fun challenge & I hope that you check out our products on the website and enjoy what you see”

Stunning cards as always I’m sure you’ll agree.  Please remember for this challenge we will only accept 3 cards/projects per person.  Also just for this one week we will not be choosing a top 5 passionista as we have lots of extra winners, however this will go back to normal next week.  We hope you have a brilliant week.  We cannot wait to see what you create.  Good luck!

Hugs, Denise, Gina & DT x x
