Hi Everyone
Happy Wednesday! Has anyone else lost track of the days .. .. or is that just me? LOL!!
Christmas has been lovely here .. .. and I hope that yours has been too.
As much as I love Christmas and the excitement it brings, I also enjoy the calmness that seems to descend straight afterwards .. .. .. when all the rushing about and last minute panics all disappear into thin air .. .. .. and you make those rash promises to be more organised next year, so that everything isn't so stressful next time December comes around!
I have made lots of "rash promises" (some might call them New Year Resolutions) and if just half of them could materialise into reality I will be pleased because even that will be an improvement.
My fingers have already got "itchy" after a few days of not crafting, and I had a quick play with my snippets before everyone else was awake and created this for taking over to the Snippets Playground Challenge, where they would like to see us use up those leftovers we hoard to create "anything but a Christmas card".
This used:
Lots of snippets (card, paper and ribbon)
Another cheap and cheerful die from Amazon

So there we are .. .. my crafty fingers satisfied (for two minutes) and a very, very slight reduction in snippet mountain. Not that I used all the ones I originally grabbed to play with.
A lovely blog buddy, Pauline C, who has a very inspirational blog called Passion for Papercraft asked about the stamp I used on my Christmas Day post. It is a Penny Black Stamp called Brush Pines and if you click here it will take you to the original blog post and all the ingredients used to create the original card.
Enjoy the rest of the Christmas break.
Hopefully catch you again very soon.

Another fab card Jules, brilliant use of snippets. Thanks so much for the info about the stamp … I absolutely adore it! Sadly it doesn’t seem to be available anywhere in the UK but I’ll keep my eye out!

Gorgeous card made with your snippets (thanks for taking a photograph of them). Love the layout. All your snippets work well together.
Thanks for entering a piece of homework to the Snippets Playground. See you up in the treehouse where we are busy finishing off the last of the party food! xxx
Beautiful layout,papers and diecut floral embellishment
Fabulous card Jules, I love the colour combination. xx
That's an impressive pile of snippets and you seem to have used quite a few of them with the interesting layers on your card. A great flower die too with some neat infilling. Good luck with the 'being more organised' plans which some might call New Year Resolutions 😊.
