Here are my top picks (in entry order): 

First of all, one of our most regular players, Sandra H, skipped in with this fabulous card for a Baby Boy - so cute and I love all the blues, perfectly matched:

Next came Brenda with a delightful sunflower spray card - winner of the 'snippets prize for patience' this week. A beautiful card and tons of intricate trimming work B:

And, my final pick - leaving a few as close runners-up - is this card, made by Eve for her Mum. Everything about it is a delight and I bet Mum loves it:

Challenge #511

Hello Playmates!

Sarn here, hosting another fun Snippets Playground Challenge for the next fortnight.

We took the opportunity to empty out the paddling pool water, clean it, and refill it before the hosepipe ban came into effect. (Phew! Close one!). The Tuck Shop is doing a roaring trade in ice creams and lollies, and everyone seems to be having a good time!

Details of the card below can be found on my personal blog HERE:

The prize for this challenge consists of a useful set of nesting dies by Love to Craft (donated anonymously) and two small stamp sets from me. 

Please be sure to state what snippets you used on your entry (or you can add a photo of them if you wish). If it is not clear what snippets have been used in an entrant's blog post, the entry will automatically be excluded from being a Top Pick or a prize winner.

The Playground gates will close on this challenge at 11am (UK time) on Saturday, 2nd August 2025. They'll reopen at midnight (UK time) the same day for the start of the next challenge. 

Sadly, due to escalating postage costs and additional customs issues, we are now only posting prizes to the UK and EUROPE. If you live outside the UK, please remember that you may be charged fees and import duty on your prize - although we always send them out clearly marked as "gifts". In claiming your prize, you accept that any such fees are your responsibility. 

Happy crafting,

Love from Sarn, plus a whistle from Miss Di and paw wave from Dudley Dog! xxx

Challenge #510

Welcome to another fun Snippets Playground Challenge for the next fortnight, where Dudley and I will be hosting for a you, with some mayhem from Sarn no doubt!

Details of the above card can be found at Pixie's Crafty Workshop HERE, along with the latest news of Dudley.

Here's the three-part prize bundle for this challenge:

It consists of: a set of tag dies made by Heffy Doodle (no longer trading) called 'Tiny Tag Trio Dies', a sentiment die by Creative Expressions called 'Be Unique' and a Globeland/Amazon unbranded set of 'fun-loving pussy cat' stamps.

All items are from me and I used my own set of the tag dies as well as a duplicate of the sentiment die for my snippets card above. The 'Tiny Tag' dies would make nice bookmarks - only sayin'!

Please be sure to state what snippets you used on your entry (or you can add a photo of them if you wish). If it is not clear what snippets have been used in an entrant's blog post, the entry will automatically be excluded from being a Top Pick or a prize winner.
