NOW let's talk about Uniko - Beverly, I adore your products and one day will have some of my own! However - I am not the lucky owner of the products I've used today ... they all belong to one very generous sweet gal by the name of Deborah Frings - of Deborah's Gems, who was kind enough to allow me to play with her Uniko lovelies for a whole week! Mind you, I did drive 5 hours to play, interrupted a class she was taking, forced to do a bit of shopping, but I am so happy with the results ... hope you like them, too!
Each card was made on a linen card base, uses Delicata Silver ink, and silver thread:

I am having a blast with this Advent hop, it is fun finding new friends behind the door each day and getting inspired by each and every one of you.
