A new challenge has started over at The Snippets Playground so in that never-ending attempt to reduce snippet mountain I enjoyed a little play and came up with this creation .. .. ..
This used:
Image and Sentiment: From the Heart Digital: Birthday Candle Birdbrain (More about From the Heart Digital Stamps below)
ProMarkers
Glossy Accents
Julie Hickey: JHD-CUT-1003 - Layers, Frames & Banners Rectangle Die Set
My Trusty Sewing Machine
and these are the snippets I started off with (proudly displayed on that well worn cutting plate LOL!!) .. .. ..
Not many snippets used up .. .. but every little counts. (Still far far too many lurking in the background - you could lock me away in my room for a whole year and I still don't think I would run out of them).
In my quiet moments with Mum I have been re-organising my digital images on my laptop and From the Heart Stamps came to the fore. This was a site I frequently used to visit due to the fun designs and sentiments - especially those relating to the "Birdbrain" character. But sadly the founder and designer, Faith Skrdla, passed away back in 2017 - such a shame. But I still love her images and will treasure the talent she had and shared. Thank goodness I purchased some of her lovely work back in the day.
Anyway, if any of you have any snippets you could put to good use, be these in paper/card format, fabric, ribbon (or any other kind of snippets that would surprise the challenge) be sure to use them and share them with Di and Sarn over in the playground. Believe me, there is always lots of fun and mischief to be found there!
My brain is now ticking over as to what could be the most unusual/inventive snippet you could enter the challenge with LOL!!
Enjoy the rest of the week.

Hi Jules, love your card and fabulous image, so sad the artist has now passed away but her memory lives on through her work. XX
That’s a really fun card Jules. Can’t wait to see what your most fun and inventive use of a snippet or two will be once you’ve cogitated for a while!
Thanks for coming to play in the Snippets Playground. See you round the back of the bike sheds later!!! Xxx
Love this one, and sadly it is true the candles definitely costing more these days 🤣🤣🤣
What a fun card Jules, I love the cute image and the sentiment.
(I made a card using one of your sketches. Thank you!)
What a fun image and sentiment. Whenever I am set a challenge like that my brain immediately seizes up! xx
This is such a fun image and sentiment - probably true in my case and someone might call out the Fire Brigade if the full number of candles were lit 🤣🤣. How great that you've managed to hang on to the digi images purchased a long time ago. Look forward to seeing just what inventive and unusual snippets you will come up with.
Wonderful card, love it and cute image. ANesha
Just love the image! Looking forward to seeing what unusual snippet you come up with!
What a delightful card! The Birthday Candle Birdbrain image is such a fun choice, and the sentiment pairs perfectly. The layering with the Julie Hickey Layers, Frames & Banners Rectangle Die Set adds a lovely touch, and the sewing detail really enhances the design. Love the glossy accents too—such a great way to bring the card to life!
Fabulous card Jules and that bird really made me chuckle here. He looks as if he getting ready to 'toss the caber' at the Highland Games! Thank you so mucvh for your very kind shout out for The Playground - much appreciated.
Hugs
