Challenge #492

Welcome to a new challenge in the Snippets Playground. All the card details are over on Pixie's Crafty Workshop HERE - as well as Dudley's latest 'Pupdate'.

These are the items making up the prize: Crafters Companion sets, one comprising four dies called 'Hellebores' and the other comprising two embossing folders called 'Bloom and Grow' - both kindly donated to the Playground Toy Box by Pauline C - many thanks Pauline! Plus, a Lawn Fawn 'stamp shammy' from me - I was buying myself a back-up one and thought it rude not to get one for the the Toy Box! Always handy to have IMHO, I keep mine in a small screw top plastic tub and it stays damp and sweet ready for use time and again - only needing a full dunking wash now and then!

As always, the Snippets Challenge will run for two weeks and the Playground gates will close at 11am UK time on Saturday 9th November. The gates will open again at midnight UK time on the same day. Mr Linky is below this post.

Please be sure to 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 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 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".

If any of you are having trouble commenting, please see HERE for a possible solution.

Love and hugs from Di and Dudley,

Hello folks - Di here, hopping in with the results from Challenge #490. 

Here are my 3 top picks (in entry order):

I know, pink always sings to me, but this delightful card made by Valerija is much more than pink. It's a beautiful scene, made from snippets and really enchanting.

I totally adore this very (pink again!) retro-influenced card - brought to share by Kate.  It's a TH set of dies and like many of Tim's die sets, I can imagine it was a bit tricky, but they're always SO rewarding! Great result.

And last but not least, Kath nipped in to play, waving a delightful anniversary card - using snippets of one of our mutually favourite LOTV paper pads - such a lovely idea to inlay the die cut heart. Very elegant result!

As always, great inspiration from everyone who entered and it was difficult to whittle my 'working list' down to the final three. Thank you so much for playing along with us. 

If you've been showcased, please feel free to collect your 'Top Pick' badge from HERE.

The randomly picked winner is:

Valerija

Challenge #491

Hello Playmates!

It's the start of another fun challenge here in the Snippets Playground. There's going to be a conker contest in the playground itself, after which there will be hot chocolate and toasted muffins up in the treehouse. The conker contest winner will get extra marshmallows in their hot chocolate!

Here's my homework, the details of which can be found on my personal blog HERE:

The prize for this challenge consists of an MFT metal die for the word FRIEND - kindly donated by Di. The remaining stamps are donated by me: a clear set by Studio G, together with two wooden Penny Black stamps "Cinnamon" (girl with the cake) and "Hot but Cool" (girl with the ice cream). I thought they would all mix and match nicely!

So, why not come and play? All you have to do is follow our RULES, then bring your homework to the Snippets Playground and enter using Mr Linky (below). Remember to say what snippets you used (or include a photo of them) and leave a comment advising whether you're just playing for fun or wish to be included in the draw for the prize. Any entrant not leaving a comment to the contrary is deemed to be playing for fun and will be excluded from the prize draw.

The Playground gates will clang shut on this challenge at 11am (UK time) on Saturday, 26th October 2024. They'll reopen at midnight (UK time) the same day for the start of the next challenge. Winners outside the UK: Please remember that you may be charged fees and import duty on your prize - although Di and I always send them out clearly marked as "gifts".
