Challenge #494

 

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'.

Lynn (Linby) who donated the Butterfly set made a lovely card (shown above) using her own set - just to whet your appetites! To read how she made it, scroll down to Mr Linky and Lynn's card is linked in at #2

These are the items making up the prize: a really lovely Crafter's Companion stamp and die set called 'Butterfly Wishes' - kindly donated by Lynn (Linby), thanks again Lynn! Plus a Waffle Flower stamp set called 'Gym Rat' and the matching set of dies which is tucked inside the back of the stamp set to keep them together. Those are from me. So it's actually three items in total. 

I've had the 'Gym Rat' set of stamps and matching dies for absolutely ages (several years and unavailable now) in the Toy Box. I found a YouTube video, six years old, with a card maker using the sets HERE. 

As always, the Snippets Challenge will run for two weeks and the Playground gates will close at 11am UK time on Saturday 7th December. 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. 

** We DO ask that you, at the very least, say what snippets were used on your entry. Lately, we have had to quietly eliminate people from being a top pick, or from being in the prize draw, who just don't, or perhaps won't, comply with the simple challenge rule about identifying snippets used. We can't go hunting for clues, sorry.

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 #492. 

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

Love this card, made by Pam! On her blog, Pam's photos are always quite small - but just LOOK at this gorgeous bee card, made extra large. I adore it - the wings are so, so sweet - the detail overall is lovely. Don't be shy Pam - your work is great! 

Donna brought this scrumptious card to share - along with a photo of her snippets (thanks for that Donna, it makes life easier for us). That die set is a real keeper - and what a wonderful result. I can almost taste those cookies! Very 'German Christmas Markets' - yummy!

Many of us really love this set of triptych dies (other versions are available) and I was delighted to see Liz using her Studio Light set. We often 'mutually enable' one another and Liz used her purchase so well. Wonderful colours, gorgeous snippetty die cuts - in short - a stunner!

As always, some really super entries from you - this 'picking' can get really tough, I had to leave a couple out this time and stick to three as in the rules. Thank you so much for playing along with us. 

** A little word folks, we DO ask that you, at the very least, say what snippets were used on your entry. Lately, we have had to quietly eliminate people from being a top pick, or from being in the prize draw, who just don't, or perhaps won't, comply with the simple challenge rule about identifying snippets used. We can't go hunting for clues, sorry.

Results of Challenge #491

Hello Playmates - Sarn here - popping back in the middle of Di's challenge, to share my Top Picks and the prize winner for Challenge 491.

My three Top Picks are as follows:

After a lot of fiddly die cutting and glueing together, Val (Aquarius) entered a lovely jolly snowman card using up lots of snippets.

I love all the elements Brenda used in the design this lovely card. She even used up some snippets of torn Washi tape!

This festive beauty was brought along by Vicky - so pretty in pink and I love the way Vicky used a non-Christmas stencil to create snow layers. Very effective.

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

The randomly picked winner is:

LIZ CAVILL

Please claim your prize by 11am UK time on 16th November 2024 by sending your name and address details via email using the Snippets Playground email address shown in the sidebar, with PLAYGROUND WINNER in the subject line.
