Sunday Snippets, Super Prize & Sarntangling!

Here's wishing you a VERY HAPPY CHRISTMAS.

I'm skipping along to the Snippets Playground to hand in my homework to Miss Di who is hosting a new challenge WITH THE THEME of "Anything BUT Christmas". There is a SUPER DUPER PRIZE up for grabs - CHECK IT OUT HERE then come and play!

My homework is a "Sarntangled" card I made in Art Class:

The snippets used are the central white, pink and black squares, which were cut from slightly larger snippets of card. I have matching "Rose Red" cardstock and ink pad by Stampin Up, so I was able to co-ordinate the splash of colour.

MERRY CHRISTMAS one and all

I wish you a VERY Merry Christmas 
and a Happy New Year.

Your cyber friendship means the world to me and I thank you for all your visits and comments. 

Sunday Snippets (Results)

Hi there playmates!

It's results week at the SNIPPETS PLAYGROUND so after you've finished your visit here, please feel free to skip over there to find out who won the prize and who Di picked to showcase. You’ll also find out more details about Di’s theme for her next Playground Challenge starting on Christmas Day  

For my homework, I die-cut some branches from packaging (see second picture), as well as some leaves from a gelli print snippet, plus some tiny birds from a black snippet of card.

I added some Washi tape across the bottom (and on the inside too).

An A6-sized card.

Only a week to go until Santa gets here! Hoping he has overlooked my Playground misdemeanours and has put me on the "good" list! Fingers crossed!

I will be doing further blog posts before the 25th, but just in case this turns out to be your last visit to my blog prior to Christmas Day, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for visiting and wish you much love, laughter and happiness this Christmas and into the New Year. xxx

Sunday Snippets!

Hi Playmates

Wow it's been a freezing and chilly old week hasn't it? No snow at the time of writing this blog post, but the hard frost looks so white and pretty.

Here's my homework for today: 

5" square card

1. I brushed Navy Blue ink through my latest stencil acquisition (MASKBJ04 by Studio Light), then added some random dotty stamping using various grungy stamps.
2. The focal flower was die-cut from a snippet of watercolour paper that I'd used Brushos on (see photo below). 
3. Finished off with a Uniko sentiment using Navy Blue ink and second gen stamping onto a small white snippet which was then cut out with scissors and glued to the card front.

I used

Can you believe there's only two weeks to go until the Big Day! Time sure is slipping by! 

If you want to come and play at the SNIPPETS PLAYGROUND there's a new challenge just waiting for your homework submission HERE! We have sausage rolls, mince pies, toasted crumpets, tea, coffee and hot toddies up in the Treehouse for you, whenever you've finished playing.

Bright snippets!

Hello Playmates!

To get you in the mood, here's a bright and colourful birthday card made from snippets.

Do come along and join me, Di and Dudley up in the Treehouse for a nice mug of hot chocolate and a sprinkling of marshmallows - plus a mince pie or two! If you need a little summin' summin' extra in your drink, just nod me the wink and I'll see what's inside my satchel!
