Hi Everyone
Happy Sunday!!!
Not so much sunshine here today .. .. but perhaps that is a good thing as it might make me not switch the washing machine on and make even more ironing!!!!!
The other day whilst searching for my large post-it notes I came across a couple of really old Scrap Magic templates by Nellie Snellen.
I bought these in my early days of crafting and had forgotten just how much fun I had using up my tiny bits and pieces of card/paper/ribbon etc with them. In fact I am convinced that it was these templates that started me off saving the smallest bits of paper and card because you need hardly any to create something.
I have been trying to find a demonstration as to how the templates are used but haven't managed to find anything yet .. .. but you will probably get the general idea anyway if you look at my card and the actual template below.
As I finished this little make this morning I thought that the playmates in the old Crafty Snippet Playground might think I had lost the plot .. .. but then when I saw what "Miss Di" had produced with her snippets I suddenly felt quite sane LOL!!!!
These are the actual templates I have (there are loads of them in different shapes) and the square one is my favourite. The circle always takes a little more time and patience to get a good look with. You just pick and choose which sections you want use to fill your chosen shape.
Hoping for a good catch up with my commenting later .. .. I am a bit behind AGAIN!!!!!
Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
Love

Hi Jules, lovely natural coloured creation today. Enjoying the sweet butterfly very much in the corner and there's plenty of hearts to choose from today :)
You're forgiven for being behind, I think time is on a go fast for everyone at the mo. As long as you are happy in your work, then I am happy for you and will enjoy you visiting me when you can.

Hi Jules
Wow, a fabulous snippets card there - so beautifully made as always too. LOVE the flower and those templates are a fabby idea. I'd have just looked at them and wondered where to begin - especially if it involved using a knife of any sort!
Grinned about me making you seem sane - I did think I'd finally lost the plot punching out tons of little flowers I must admit :(
Have a lovely week, hugs, Di xx
Fab use of your snippets Jules!
