It wasn't "hot" sunshine here but still beautiful to see in a lovely clear blue sky! Let's hope it is a sign of things to come.
A play in my craft pod yesterday created a card for Challenge #501 over in the Snippets Playground. This challenge encourages us to use up papers and card that have been leftover from other projects.
I started out with an image which I coloured with ProMarkers and then grabbed a wallet of snippet papers which I knew would work beautifully alongside.
Whenever I purchase a set of digital papers I print off the ones that appeal to me the most, and once used I store any leftovers in their own labelled wallet ready for the next time I want to use them, knowing everything will match beautifully without needing to search through my large collection of random snippets. Anything in these type of wallets in my craftroom started life as an A4 printed sheet.
Below is my finished offering .. .. ..
This used:
Image: Amanda Jayne Designs (via Etsy) - Bee With Balloon
Design Papers: Nitwits Collection "Beelightful"
Sentiment: Computer Generated
ProMarkers
X-Cut Flower Die (very, very, very old)
X-Cut Corner Rounding Punch
Nail Heads
Crystal Glamour Dust
My Trusty Sewing Machine
Have a good week everyone.
Beautiful card Jules, great design. I love the sentiment.

Your background papers remind me of a sunny day,as does the adorable bee,hope all well with you
ReplyDeleteSo adorable. I love the image, papers, sentiment, colouring…love the names nitwits, beelightful, and your great idea with the wallets. Isn’t it nice to see the sun! xx
ReplyDeleteA lovely sunny and happy card, beautifully matched and with a great sentiment. You are so well organised with the collections of paper snippets in plastic wallets. Thank you for your regular comments on my blog and you are so right in a recent one when you mention the temptation to add new items to our stash - I do try to resist ... really 😉😉.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great storage idea for digital. I print things off, put them in a folder then don't know where they are from as I was sure I was going to use them asap!!! It's such a pretty little card too.
ReplyDeleteVery cute image and Jukes and fantastic coordination with the papers. Wow you are so organized … my snippets are shoved in a folder any old how ☺️xx
ReplyDeleteLovely to see you in the Snippets Playground with this gorgeous bee card. Will make you a cuppa up in the treehouse shortly. xxx
ReplyDeleteOh I love your beeutifull card Jules! LOL!!
ReplyDeleteThat bee is very cute and those papers are lovely - normally I would rush right over to Nitwits and throw them into my shopping basket but I am on a mission to try and use up all of my old stash before buying anything else (this is VERY hard!!!)
I must say you are very organised with your printed papers - I must try this!
Hope all is well in the heart household.
Love Eve xx
A cute bee Jules, ready for lift off with his balloon and he looks like he is wishing to go somewhere really nice! You are so well organised with your snippets too xx
ReplyDeleteThis is so cute and the papers are perfect. I am so impressed with the way that soft blue matches. It took me a moment to find the heart this time. Very clever xx
