Challenge #533

Hello Playmates!

Sarn here, hosting another fun Snippets Playground Challenge for the next fortnight. Looks like we're in for a mini heatwave, so the paddling pool may well make an appearance!

Details of this ATC can be found on my personal blog HERE:

I rummaged in the Toy Box and put together this lovely trio of "Dragonfly Dreams" products designed by Hazel Eaton for Studio Light - which you can have lots of fun mixing and matching. It comprises: an A6 sized background stamp (top left), a dragonfly stamp & die set (top right) and a dragonfly tag set of dies (bottom centre). For your inspiration, see HERE for a project I made using my own dragonfly stamp & die set.

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, 6th June 2026. They'll reopen at midnight (UK time) the same day for the start of the next challenge. 

Happy crafting,

Love from Miss Di, Dudley Dog and me xxx

Hello Everyone!

Di here - popping back in the middle of Sarn's challenge - to reveal my Top Picks and the prize winner for Challenge #530.

Here are my top picks (in entry order): 

First pick is Kath with a super snippets card. I love seeing cards where the focus is on using purely snippets, in a way that many of us can use as inspiration, this card fits the bill perfectly:

Next came Gail with a perfect desert scene, using plenty of snippets as well. It's a delightful card and there was a deceptive amount of detail in creating it - great work:

And, last but not least, Tina raced in waving her entry.  A perfect rainy day card and one I would love to CASE at some point. So clever to stencil leaving the area underneath the umbrella dry. Gorgeous work Tina!

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

The randomly picked winner is:

Lesley
