Pixies Crafty Snippets Playground - Week 67

Another busy week in the Playground. Thank you to all who were sweet enough to comment on my 'crazy sheep' snippets card last week - my step-mum loved it!

My snippets card for this week is bright and zingy - and, it cracks me up - tell you why later:

I used:

- 5" x 7" white card stock

- image is Docrafts Country Companions 'Frog' from the 'Sunshine Meadows' range, stamped in Memento 'London Fog' and coloured with Pro Markers. I might add some Glossy Accents to the splashes of water coming out of his wellies but this card was made in a real rush as it is

- snippet of green Core-dinations card, embossed using Craft Concepts' 'Dragonfly' folder and sanded to reveal the 'core' using SU's sanding block

- patterned backing paper is also snippets, from the Echo Park 'Hello Summer' paper pad' - I try to slip snippets from patterned pads inside the front cover until it becomes tricky and then the whole thing is popped into a cello bag. Our Jules is even more organised and apparently pops her 6" x 6" paper pads into poly zipped bags straight away

- plain orange card is all snippets - I drew round the oval Nestie I'd used for the image and (badly) hand cut round it. The orange snippets dividing up the oblongs of patterned paper are literally little strips, waste not want not!

- sentiment was printed from the PC, the end snipped into a banner and a couple of Josy Rose nail heads added

The sentiment combined with the image is what I'm still giggling at - can just imagine the eager little frog hopping out of a pond waiting to be turned into a Prince. Not really the best of starts with that outfit - poor little chap! There again, a quick peck and he could turn into Richard Gere or whoever floats your boat :))

OK, 'show and tell picks' now - and it gets harder as the weeks go by :(

Sam made this delightful fold out card, using resist stamping.

Lynn was playing with the silhouette stamp set she won (no hanging around there Lynn) and made a really beautiful shadow card.

Hazel made this super elegant card - I love the combination of elegance and a soft look, beautiful!

And almost at the last minute, Maureen raced in with this card - brilliant use of snippets and a gorgeous result. This really is a design to CASE dontcha think?

That's just a few I've picked, each and every make you brought was gorgeous, as always.

So, it's time for the draw for the duster brushes and TH ink pad:

First out was Linby, who generously declined in a comment as she already has duster brushes, so I ran the Random Number thingy again and the winner is:

This coming week's prize is based around my snippets card:

A dragonfly folder, a little frog stamp.......plus another stamp from the same range called 'Rabbit', kindly donated by Rach!  That was really quite spooky as I already had the folder and frog stamp tucked away in my 'snippets prizes box' so the cute rabbit added perfectly to them - thank you Rach!

The Playground is open all of this coming week but it will close on Sunday 14th April at noon, UK time and Mr Linky is below as usual. Just enter a snippets make into the Playground this week and I'll do a draw after the Playground closes next Sunday.

 

Do please note that the Playground is open for a day longer than usual this week - I'm out all day on both Friday and Saturday so rather than curtail it I decided to let you have an extra day to play. We'll return to normal (whatever that is!) the following week though. As usual I am asking for a snippets make please, maximum of three entries and please say 'No thank you' in a comment if you wish to still play but not be a winner of the embossing folder and those cute little stamps.

Enjoy the rest of the weekend, stay warm, safe and have a lovely week!
