JULES' CRAFTY SNIPPET CHALLENGE - WEEK 41

Hi Everyone

Well .. .. Sunday Snippets seem to have followed the same theme as the whole of last week .. .. I'm late!!!  Tut tut!!!

But with a very good reason which I will share later. 

But for now here are my snippet makes of the day

So why am I so late?

Well when big baby boy and his wife were visiting last week I asked if would be possible for me to "borrow" their spare camera to see if the picture it took would be better for my website than what I am currently using.

They very kindly brought it with them and today was my first chance to have a play.  (Thank you kiddie winks .. .. I will make you an extra pancake next time I see you LOL!!).

So these pictures are done by simply pointing and clicking.  I was advised to put the camera on a tripod .. .. but I have put that somewhere safe!!!  I think I need to get that found during the course of this week and I might be brave and have a play with the numerous buttons and settings!!!

First impressions I think the pictures look much better.

So round now to my lovely snippet  creations from my playmates last week .. .. .. and gosh what a lovely collection of shares!!

First to the playground was the lovely and hyperactive Hazel.  I think she might have had a few extra "E" numbers this week as Hazel has broken the snippet playground world record and visited the playground a whole EIGHT times!!!  So much lovely inspiration and you will find it all here, here, here, here, here, here, here and here!!  Well done Hazel.  Your snippets have clearly taken a good battering this week and your stocks simply "must" be reduced!!!

Not only is Hazel sharing a brilliant array of cards but she has also been covering notebooks with her snippets.  Make sure you have a good click around them all.  They are lovely!

Lynne was the next playmate to arrive and she shared a lovely card which you will find here.  Gorgeous colour combo and snippets!!

Lynne was closely followed by Irene who had made a gorgeous card with her snippets.  Again lovely colours and also a fantastic sentiment stamp.  When you look closely you actually appreciate just how many layers and snippets were used .. .. really lovely Irene. 

Debbie was next to share a lovely Christmas card .. . .which carried a lovely touch of tartan.  I don't know why but I always think tartan looks so lovely .. especially on Christmas cards.  Super cute image too!!

One of my Funky Hand playmates .. .. Jackie .. .. was the next to share a lovely array of snippet makes.  I know from pictures previously posted on Jackie's blog that she has a mountain of snippets (just as I have) .. .. it is probably something to do with the fact that we both make cards and wedding stationery full-time .. .. it is surprising how many you make!!  Anyway, Jackie shared four gorgeous makes which you will find here.

My next playmate was my lovely DIL Cat.  Who whilst visiting last weekend dived into my snippet drawer and very kindly used up a few of them for me .. .. as well as pinching a few images too LOL!!  Isn't it lovely to share!!!    Lovely stash Cat .. .. couldn't have chosen better myself LOL!!!

Sandra then called by the playground with a lovely card that has such a cute Penny Black image.  I would say it is one of my favourites .. .. but then I say that about them all!!  LOL!!!  I love how Sandra adds the little rectangles and flowers to her cards.  I think they look so cute .. .. and use up the smallest of snippets!!

Catherine then made an appearance carrying a card in each hand.  You will find one here and the other one here.  Both of Catherine's cards are gorgeous but the last one is my favourite.  I just love the colour combo and all the swirls and flowers! 

Di called by next with a lovely stepper card.  Not a card I have ever made .. .. but I can see it has great potential for using up lots of snippets.  Might have to give one of these a try!!  I am always about 6 months behind everyone else LOL!!!

Trick or treats made an appearance next .. .. but don't be frightened .. .. Sarah's post is definitely a treat!!!  Not only is Sarah sharing her lovely mini Halloween milk cartons .. she is also providing a lovely link so that you can make your own.  Thanks for that Sarah!!  Just perfect for snippets!!

Two lovely makes next from Elizabeth.  You will find one here and the other one here.  Both are gorgeous and I just can't choose a favourite because they are both stunning in their own right.  I think a mini mountain of snippets must have been used on these two!!  Great shares Elizabeth.

Along to the playground then came Mandy .. .. who brought with her a lovely butterfly card which you will find here.  Gorgeous colours and fabby use of snippets.  Love the touch of sparkle too!

A super cute Christmas card next from Sally .. .. which had me pondering on what song the little robins were singing.  Not sure if I guessed right .. .. but I was singing my guess for at least an hour afterwards!!  LOL!!! 

Next to share their creation in the playground was Lynn .. ... and what a lovely share it was.  I feel certain that we will all be trying to replicate the gorgeous bear that Lynn has created out of circles.  I love it!!!!  Thanks for sharing with us all Lynn.

Then last but by no means least was Mags who came along to share a lovely engagement card.  Lovely colours and such a sweet ribbon and flower embellishment.

For me it is now time to finish off the veg for our evening meal and then the ironing board is calling!!!  Boring!!!!!

I'll see you again tomorrow morning bright and early with my next Happy Handy Hippo make. 

Have a lovely evening.

Love
