Good morning dear crafters.

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
