PIXIE'S CRAFTY SNIPPET CHALLENGE - NO. 3

Hi Everyone

Late today ... sorry .. .. too busy enjoying myself !!!

First of all I would like to say thank you to everyone who has been sending me hints and tips on curing my "white screen" problems.

I have fiddled about and changed lots of things and am going to give it a good old test tonight.  

The weekend has been mega busy .. .. but very enjoyable .. .. I hope yours has too.

Sunday for me means playing with my snippets and as you know the lovely Di has taken over the keys and is now overseeing proceedings .. .. and what a fabulous job she is doing too!!

Well done Miss Di!!

OK then .. .. ..  here is my snippet make for today.  As you can see I have raided the "brown snippet drawer" today!!







This used:

Snippets from the brown drawer (I think they are Pink Petticoat and Nitwits but wouldn't stake my life on it!!)
Main Image:  Hero Arts "G5311"  Silhouette Spray
Background Image:  Magenta "Buds and Flourishes"
Sentiment:  Penny Black "Critter party"
X-Cut Punch:  Small butterfly
My Trusty Sewing Machine
Scalloped border cut by hand using a free shaped ruler that has been hanging about unused!
Ribbon and pearls from the Stash Box

OK that is me for today with my entry to Pixie's Crafty Snippet Challenge - No. 3.

If you are here to take part in the Funky Hand Blog Hop then you need to click here.  There is still time to enter.  Closing time isn't until midnight tonight.

I'll see you bright and early tomorrow with my Handy Hippo creation for this week.

Love

    I came across your blog from the interview in Quick cards magazine. I love your style of clean lines and squares.
    I just have one suggestion. Have a post label of "tiredness test", as in, if you can't spot the heart, it's time for an early night!
    You might have guessed it, I'm off for an early one!

    Oh Jules, yet another fabulous creation - I adore the browns with just a teensy touch of blue. Am now going to either sit on my hands or run away from the laptop as that's yet another very tempting stamp :) I love the way you've used the sentiment too! Thank you for coming into the playground today, any tips for controlling the 'rebels' who jump over the fence would be gratefully received :)) Love, Di xx
