Challenge #536

Hello Playmates!

Sarn here, hosting another fun Snippets Playground Challenge for the next fortnight. Miss Di has left me in charge while she recovers from her fall. So we can all run amok play nicely for the next fortnight without any oversight. I’ve moved the paddling pool to the bottom of the slide so we can slide down and splash into it!

This card is a paper hug for Di to cheer her up. 

The prize for this challenge consists of two brand new stamp sets (Pretty Lovely by Mama Elephant and a music sheet stamp #18 by Studio Light), together with a pre-loved Heffy Doodle Heart Masquerade mask & stencil set. 

Please be sure to state what snippets you used on your entry (or you can add a photo of them if you wish). If it is not clear what snippets have been used in an entrant's blog post, the entry will automatically be excluded from being a Top Pick or a prize winner.

Hello Everyone!

Di here - popping back in the middle of Sarn's challenge - to reveal my Top Picks and the prize winner for Challenge #534.

Marjeta hopped in quite early on with a wonderful album for her granddaughter. Sure to be treasured - so much care and love went into making it, go and take a peek HERE: 

Then came Kate L, waving THIS terrific card, particularly appropriate, given the current heatwaves many of us are facing! Sums it up perfectly and so much detail:

And last, but never least, Kathy A popped in towards the end of the challenge - with THIS brilliant card. I doubt if many of us are unaware that it's coming up to 250 years since the USA gained Independence - special celebrations indeed:

Challenge #535

Hello Playmates!

Sarn here, hosting another fun Snippets Playground Challenge for the next fortnight.

Di and I have recently taken the decision to occasionally offer “pre-loved” items that are in “as new” condition as prizes. We have updated RULE 11 to reflect this change. 

The prize for this challenge consists of a pre-loved clear set of Stampin' Up! stamps together with a little journal, handmade with love, by me:

I had a "flip through" video ready to show you, but unfortunately, Blogger won't allow you to see it! Instead, I’ve included 10 photo’s on my personal blog if you wish to peek inside!

The Playground gates will close on this challenge at 11am (UK time) on Saturday, 4th July 2026. They'll reopen at midnight (UK time) the same day for the start of the next challenge. 

Happy crafting,

Love from Miss Di, Dudley Dog and me xxx
