Hello Everyone!
It's Di here - popping back in the middle of Sarn's challenge - to share my Top Picks and the prize winner for Challenge #498.
Here are my top picks in entry order:
Although I didn't set out to pick entries with the optional theme of 'Love is in the Air' - it happened to pan out that way this time!
Our Jules is certainly the Queen of Hearts and her card, below, really stood out. Love the whole design and am in awe of the patience it must have taken Jules to assemble all those pieces of paper, not card, to create such a fabulous background.
Below is the beautiful card that Brenda brought to share with us. What an eyecatcher - absolutely love the colours of the crocus! By the way, Brenda's sentiment is one from a set she designed and can be found for sale via a link in her blog post.
And my final pick, below, was made by Pat - another stunning entry! The background featured dry embossed highlights over a panel of blended inks and it's fabulous! Certainly a technique to try and I love that Pat always writes such clear coverage of the steps she's taken to make a card.
If you've been showcased, please feel free to collect your 'Top Pick' badge from HERE.
The randomly picked winner is:
Congratulations Jules! Total hand on heart, no pun intended, your number popped straight out - surprised the gasp wasn't heard where you live!
Please claim your prize by 11am UK time on 22nd February 2025 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.
Remember there's still nearly a week of Sarn's challenge to go. If you haven't submitted a piece of homework yet, just scroll down to the previous post to find all the details.
All the best from Di, Sarn and Dudley Dog.
Thank you so much kind lady, it means a lot to be selected among so many lovely entries.

ReplyDeleteThank you so much for including my card in the Top Picks Di, and congratulations to Brenda, and also Jules for being a Top Pick and for winning the lovely prize this time. x
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Jules, and the other picks, oh and I do love a cheese scone! xx
ReplyDeleteMe too Lesley - I adore cheese scones, so when you're on your outings with our mutual mischief maker - make sure she includes piccies of cheese scones in her little round-ups she sometimes sends! They do give me a lot of pleasures. BTW, also check her pockets, I might even be hiding in there! x
DeleteFantastic picks and double congrats to Jules
