Challenge #466

Hope that those of you who are affected have remembered to change your clocks  - Fall back remember! Here's to dark nights and short days for the Winter, shiver!

My snippets card for today was made for Grand daughter Mia's 16th Birthday - how did she grow up so fast?! 

All the details of how I made it are over on Pixie's HERE - as well as Dudley's latest 'adventures'. 

The prize for this fortnight is shown below:


Our lovely Val recently sent a very generous donation of items for the Toy Box and I've decided to offer some of them in groups purely from Val, otherwise she wouldn't be able to play for prizes for quite some time to come! Hugely appreciated Val, by both Sarn and myself. 

The items making up the prize bundle for this challenge are an Apple Blossom 'Rose Butterfly Floral Wrap' die set, a Sizzix set of two dies called 'Floral Festival' and two Polkadoodles stamp sets - 'Daisy Friends' and Small Beginnings'. So, a real floral theme this time girls! 

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

Please state what snippets you used on your entry, or add a photo of them, otherwise it won't count in the prize draw. Remember that we do reserve the right to delete non-compliant entries. It's very important to us to keep the Playground as a happy place to come and play - as well as making sure everyone plays nicely and fairly. 

Winners outside the UK: please remember that you may be charged fees and import duty on your prize - although Sarn and I always send them out clearly marked as "gifts". 

Love and hugs from Di and Dudley,

  8. Hi Miss Di!
    At last .. .. .. I am back and playing in blogland again!
    I have a note from Mum to cover my absence .. .. I pushed it under the office door.
    Hard to believe that Mia is 16 already! I still imagine her as a little school girl.
    Lovely to see the playground is still nice and popular and great to see Sarn with you too.
    Great card from you .. .. .. lovely and pink! LOL!!
    Love and hugs

    1. Weirdly enough, your actual image on the blog post is fine, of course. Can't understand why Mr Linky did your thumbnail sideways on - most peculiar. As I planned, your prize is now on the way to you by Airmail.

      Hugs

  33. Such a lovely card, Di. So happy I stopped by for some fun in the playground. I'm doing so much serious stuff right now, I sometimes (read: often lol) forget to have fun and play.
    Just playing for fun as I'm looking to use my NBUS and declutter what I'm not using.

  34. Romping in with my homework just before the Playground gates close - Sarn's Bonfire Night hot chocolate seemed to make me sleep very well!! Such a lovely card for Mia's 16th and shall enjoy popping over to Pixie's to see how it was done. Am always bowled over by the generosity of the Playground Pals - another amazing prize here but I am just playing for fun. Hugs, Vicky xx

  38. What a beautiful card (That I bet the 16 year old recipient loved!) And I would love to play with the prize items... so yes please add me to the draw.) I had fun making my card using a pre-colored digi that resembles our beloved Dudley who that entertains us with his many antics! (The digi is also a freebie. So if you'd like to nab a copy for your digi collections, stop by my blog for the link.
