Before I introduce you to the new Uniko Studio challenge and the last for 2014, I'd like to share some great news! Please welcome the newest Uniko Studio Design Team Member.....Sandie from London Days. Feel free to check out her blog here and welcome her to the team!

Sandie has willingly taken on the task of organizing the Uniko Studio Challenges for 2015, which will be all revised and all the more FUN!

To help get your mojo flowing, Bev has 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 will qualify for a randomly selected winner prize. This gives those who don't own any Uniko products the chance to win some and join the Uniko Studio community!

The Prizes:

As voted by the Uniko Studio Design Team:

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

Randomly selected winner:

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

For the Challenge this month we have a few options:

Anything Goes

Anything Goes & the Sketch:

Check out my card below. It's a super easy one, nice and quick for your holiday cards!

The background paper is a tan color with a gold foil leaf pattern. Sooooo gorgeous IRL! I stamped the striped banner and fussy cut it, and popped up with dimensionals. A long strip of black grosgrain ribbon is attached to the patterned paper. The sentiment is in red ink...a perfect holiday touch ;)

You have until December 14th 09:00 UK time, to link your card up on the Uniko Blog.

The Challenge Rules:

Winners will be announced by December 17th
