Hi Everyone
Special celebrations this week over at Di's Snippet Playground Challenge.
It is now a whole 100 weeks since Di took ownership of the keys to the Snippet Playground Gates so it is party time!
Some of you who have followed my blog from earlier days may remember that I initially opened the snippet playground gates in an attempt to use up on a Sunday some of the snippets and scraps I had accumulated throughout the week.
But things started getting busy for me and I knew that once the first year was over I could no longer keep the challenge going .. . which was a brilliant thing for blogland because Di kindly volunteered to take things over from me, and she has turned it into a place that is far more fun and exciting than it ever was in my day. She has worked wonders and gets lots and lots of entries every week.
Well done Di .. .. thank you for all your hard work .. .. you deserve a medal!!! I know how difficult it was to keep track of things in my day and it was far less busy then and certainly didn't involve any fabby prizes!!
Each week the entries "nearly" hit 60 .. .. wouldn't it be lovely if this special week Di could reach her dream of 60 entries .. .. or better still 100 to celebrate the special landmark!!
As you are allowed three entries I am going to try really hard to play three times to boost numbers from my end. Goodness knows I have enough snippets so there is no excuse there!! LOL!!
If you fancy playing along then that would be great. Just use up some of your snippets (otherwise known as scraps or leftovers) and take them over to share with the other playmates. A more mischievous and fun gang you will never find anywhere LOL!!.
Here is my arrangement of snippets for today .. .. some of which never even made it into storage. They were used off my desk:
On a Sunday I am super lazy and do not list any of my ingredients .. .. I am also too lazy today to go and re-take my photographs so I can get a sideways view that is decent .. .. but never mind. Two pictures will do LOL!!!
I hope you get chance to play along with Di and all the other playmates this week as we all celebrate this fabby landmark, and the fact that we have such a fun and lovely keeper of the playground keys.
Love
great card x
ReplyDeleteHi Jules,
ReplyDeletesaw your card on the Pixies Playground.
What a super design Christmas card.
Love your papers used.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
I spy those soldiers again and possibly some other beautiful snippets from Pink Petticoat. Love your card as always Jules so much detail and colour.
ReplyDeleteI can't say I'm surprised that your scraps didn't even get that far, they are far too lovely to "save" and have made another fabulous card! x
ReplyDeleteFab card Jules, we are both big Pink Petticoat fans aren't we? I just got these papers too! Hugs, Carole Z X
ReplyDeleteCool Yule card!! (And of course I didn't give him his money back!!! LOL)
ReplyDeleteWell these are lovely snippets Jules, gorgeous papers and I love your design, hugs Kate x
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous Jules. I love those papers and the fab holly leaves and berries.

Well said, Jules! I'm sorry I wasn't blogging when you were in charge so I could have met you earlier! Your snippets card is, as always, positively divine in every way!!
ReplyDeleteI love your idea of at least 60 entries, so I will try to enter more than once myself. It's Thanksgiving week here, but I'll do my best!
Happy Sunday and enjoy the week!! Hugs, Darnell
This is a fabulous card Jules, I love these new PP papers and your holly embellishment.

I have just treated myself to that MS border punch as seeing it on your cards made me NEED it!!
Hope you have a fab week xx.
Super Christmas card, Jules! Great papers and I love the holly and berries, especially, hugs, Juliexx
ReplyDeleteHi Jules, it definitely is something to celebrate this week. I well remember joining in the snippet challenge with you. I thought it was such a good idea of yours ... it was to use up the leftovers from scrapping that got me into cardmaking to begin with so I welcomed your encouragement to use those snippets up :) And now Di keeps us on our toes, though I somehow make very little impression on the snippet mountain!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card - love the colours, not at all tradional, and the greeting is fab ... nice font.
I'm not sure I'm going to manage three snippet makes this week - most of my stash is still in boxes - but I will do my best and look forward to seeing the cards you make too. Hugs, Elizabeth xx
Your card is wonderful Jules and what a special occasion it is. I think I will try to enter this week, I keep meaning to but never get round to it so you have given me the nudge that I needed.

Love it! The little soldiers are so cute and the design is stunning as always, Jules.
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy seeing your cards...you never disappoint! The stitched holly leaves with the berry pompoms are darling!
Great card Jules. Love it.

As always, love your layers! And the bit of holly is such a fun and festive touch!!
ReplyDeleteI see the heart this week not one but rows of them! Love those little soldiers. Hugs Mrs A.
ReplyDeleteYour cards always look great and this one is no exception! All papers just fit so well with each other. Love it! I will certainly go and play at the playground again, as I had fun last time! ^_^
ReplyDeleteAw, dang it! As I was reading about the 100th celebration and here I am away from home for a week with nothing but my copics & images to color, so I won't be able to join in the fun. Well, I had fun looking for the heart on your lovely card anyway. Love the way you used up some great snippets here, and thanks to you for starting up the Snippet playground initially. I agree, we have a fabulous Leader & she does a lot of hard work for us. And not just maintaining order at the Playhouse, but being thoughtful when a playmate needs a lift when Life gets kinda rough. So thanks to BOTH of you, and thank you for sharing such a beautiful card this evening. Hugs
ReplyDeleteA beautiful card, simple, but Oh! So! effective.
ReplyDeleteI love it
