Unique and my happy news

Hi everyone, first up I've a CAS card to show you using MFT's 'wild about you' stamp set. I stamped two of the zebras on the background and then stamped another zebra with Promarkers and cut it with the matching die. I stamped the sentiment and added the grass before adding the 'unique' zebra to the scene.


I shall enter the following challenges

MFT Colour challenge

Time Out challenge 'unique

Cute Card Thursday challenge 'anything goes'

Papercraft challenge 'clean and simple'

Freshly Made Sketches challenge

Addicted to Stamps and More challenge 'anything goes'


Okay now for my happy news..... you may have read in my last post that I'd stamped up all of my Crazy Dogs and Crazy Birds and to 'watch this space' well I'm afraid they'll have to stay neglected for a while longer as I was the winner of Uniko's 'Stamps for a Year' huge giveaway as part of their 7th Birthday celebrations.

I couldn't believe it when I saw my name picked - I let out the loudest squeal of delight and jumped so high doing a happy dance that I nearly hit my head on the ceiling! Hubby came flying in the room to see what was wrong and then I double checked and triple checked to make sure it was actually ME that had won. The first batch of stamps (February's release) arrived yesterday and here's what I got

Huge thanks Bev, it is such an amazing giveaway

I still can't actually believe it !.... So as you may have guessed March is definitely going to be a Uniko month for me (especially as I still have some of their other stamp sets as yet uninked).... so now it's another 'watch this space'

Thanks for taking the time to pop by today and if any of you had put your name in the Uniko giveaway than I'm sorry (sort of) and don't mean to gloat. Take care everyone and I hope you have a great day.

Oh that is fab news...all those yummy stamps and I can't wait to see what you make! And as for your card-my fav card of your's to date. I adore the way you made this for Time Out and really thought about the 'unique;....even your sentiment is perfect. I love the zebras and adding the grass made a lovely grounding for them. And your unique zebra is a joy and in such fab colours-an absolute joy of a card and I am so pleased to see it at Time Out
