Challenge #426

Hopefully you're all having a pleasant Easter weekend, and that the weather is being kind to all of us! Been pretty warm/ verging on hot here for the past couple or more days. I suspect that Sarn has left the makings of a few cocktails up in the tree house for you all, should you wish to partake.

Straight onto my snippets card:

All the 'how I made it' details are over on my own Pixie's blog, HERE, should you want to know more.

The prize for this fortnight is:

A set of Sizzix thinlets dies called 'Susan's Garden' plus a set of Marianne 'Summer' stamps - both kindly donated by Brenda of Floral Fantasies. Thank you so much again Brenda.

As always, the Snippets Challenge will run for two weeks and the Playground gates will close at 11am UK time on Saturday 30th  April. The gates will open again at midnight UK time on the same day. Mr Linky is below this post.

The latest news of Dudley is also over on my own Pixie's blog post for today - HERE. He's such a source of laughter to us. Goodness know we need it with all that's going on in the world.

This was our lovely friend Bernie's really cute Easter sign off whilst she was still with us and blogging. She is still very much missed by so many of us who knew her:

  1. Dearest Di ❤🙏 not been around much, health up down, but happy to join again!!!
    You're in my prayers thoughts each day Len and the smile maker, joy bringer 😄 each day.
    Happy Resurrection day and happy Easter, it's not about the bunny.. its about the Lamb, the Lord Jesus.

    I pray you have a wonderful break
    ... and will say no thanks to B.'s generous prize... because I need to use my schtuff up..
    And yes we miss those playmates no longer with us.🤗❤🤗

    Praying for all our playground mates and chief prefect aka mischief maker Sarn too. So glad she's 😊 having fun in helping you too.

    Thanks for sharing, and may God bless and keep you and all whom you love safe and well.
    Prayer hugs, Shaz in Oz. X

  5. What a lovely card Di, those flowers are beautiful and they make a wonderful thank-you card! So sorry to hear of losing another playmate, but Bernie's bunny sign-off is adorable and a sweet memory to hold onto. The prize is wonderful but I'm just playing for fun as I'm trying to reduce my stash as much as possible. It's become more like clutter and I need to make changes! Happy Easter to you, the mister and the pawsome Dudley!

  9. Hi Miss Di, skipping through the gates with another card, apologies I've not been around much, much cleaning and mould removal after heavy and long wet summer here. I hope you, Sarn, Len and Dudley have had a wonderful Easter... Have a good week... Megan

  12. Such a beautiful card, Di.
    Since Mrs. A has a snippet-centered challenge this go-round, I expected to see a few floating strips card here, but none but mine so far. I guess everyone's still enjoying Sarn's cocktails and egg hunt.
    Yes please on the prize.

  21. Yes please to this prize. Your floral card is so beautiful Di, and I love the stitched zig zag border as an extra touch. I hope you took advantage of your time off while Sarn took the helm, and enjoyed your Easter holiday. Stories about Dudley always interest me, so I had to hop on over to your blog to find out more about your card and to see what he was up to as well. Dudley's puzzlement as he tried to fit through your craft room door with Honka Duck in his mouth had me chuckling. I wonder how Honka Duck is holding up to all this activity, or if you have duplicates put aside.
