[Uniko Studio Challenge] No. 16 - Christmas & a Welcome!

Hey!

Before I introduce you to the  new challenge & the last for 2014, I'd like to introduce you to the newest Uniko Studio Design Team Member.... Sandie from London Days. Please give Sandie a warm welcome by stopping by her blog HERE :)

Here at Uniko Studio both the DT and I have welcomed Sandie with open arms as she has willingly taken on the task of organising the Uniko Studio Challenges for 2015, which will be all revised and all the more FUN! 

Anyway, though the entries were few, we ALL loved seeing your entries we had for our last challenge & we look forward to seeing your entries for this one :)

To help get your mojo flowing & increase the number of entries I have changed the rules slightly.

Basically you can use ANY PRODUCT you have in your stash that fits the theme and you DON'T have to use at least one Uniko Product on your project entry. However, those who do use a Uniko product on their project entry you will qualify for a random selected winner prize. This gives those who don't own any of our products the chance to win some & join the Uniko Studio community :)

The Prizes:

As voted by the Uniko Studio Design Team:

• A £20 Gift Certificate to the Winner & Guest Design Team spot on the blog for the next challenge
• Top Three Spotlight & £5 Gift Certificate 

Randomly selected winner:

• A £10 Gift Certificate to the Winner & Guest Design Team spot on the blog for the next challenge

Guest Designers are still welcome to join in on the current challenge too :) 

For the Challenge this month we have a few options:

Anything Goes

or

Anything Goes & the sketch:

As I wasn't finding much time to go into the studio to create, my husband kindly cleared the decks in the small box room in the house and I now have my basic supplies in order to create and do 'work' ;) So, fingers crossed you will be seeing a bit more of me around these parts!

My first task this weekend was to create a card for this months challenge & this is what I came up with...

I decided I needed a little help to get my creativity flowing an I used the sketch as a basis for the layout of my card, but I changed the placement of the sentiment as I didn't want it to compromise the sparkly snowflake die cut! 

I also used the current Crazy for CAS inspiration photo colours seen HERE and below as I couldn't decide on a colour scheme. I do love a non-traditional Christmas card :)

Let's see what the Design Team came up with...
