Pixies Snippets Playground - Week 95

My snippets card for this week was brought on holiday for Len - he laughed out loud when he opened it the other day so I guess that makes it a hit:

I used:

- 5" x 7" white card blank

- snippets of SU 'Real Red' card

- a snippet of brown dotty paper which I found tucked inside the LOTV 'Country Gent' paper pad

- Penny Black stamp called 'You Make Me Bob', coloured with Pro Markers and some black musical peel off stickers added

- sentiment was printed using straightforward word processing

- black Josy Rose nail heads

As it's 'Anything Goes' over at Penny Black and More this month, I'd like to link in this card. Totally unplanned and just a happy coincidence, I'm missing playing in some of my favourite challenges right now.

And a scamper through some of this week's cards from the Playground:

My first pick this week is Kay's lovely floral card. What really jumped out at me is the way she took the flowers down the curved edge, and also hand cut the edges of flowers which had been stamped underneath, directly onto the card. A super idea!

I love this card made by Elizabeth, especially as she really should be packing to move house right now but is still hopping into the Playground :) Love the great background, topped with the star burst sunrise and then the scarecrow etc. in the foreground.

A super card by Sue J who really went to town and used up loads of snippets to make the patchwork background. It all tones beautifully together - if I tried that you'd think a couple of dogs had been fighting in the snippets folder!

This Halloween card by Mary H is such fun - and a lot of work, and snippets went into making it.

You really do need to see this fabulous Autumn Wreath/Garland, made by Karen P, it's gorgeous. For a better look do click on the link, plus Karen gave us some tips and hints as to how she made it.

And our Sam squeezed in under the gates with this fabulous album for her friend Kim who was visiting, to put her holiday memories in. Tons of snippets used and it's lovely Sam!

We have two new playmates this week, yay!

First of all we were joined by Sharon (Hudson) who brought a terrific card with an acetate 'bow front'. One to try once I'm back home for sure!

AJ (ArtJypsy) also found her way into the Playground with this lovely card shown above. Great use of snippets, I don't know how you found us but you're very welcome!

Hope you come back and play often girls :)

The winner of the Memory Box 'Grand Merry Christmas' die is:

Cornelia

I know that lots of you already have this fabulous die, which cut down the odds a bit :) But, Cornelia was drawn straight away by Mr Random and from her comment my guess is that she'll be a happy bunny! Well done Cornelia, can you please drop me an email with your snail mail address in and I'll post the die off to you once we're back home (di_wray@hotmail.com).

Our little prize for this week is the Penny Black 'You Make Me Bob' stamp, another one the same as I used today:

We're not quite back to normal closing time in the Playground as I'll be back home next weekend but will be severely jet lagged 'cos it always hits me hard. I propose to keep the Playground open for a day longer to give me time to recover so the Playground gates will close at 11am UK time on Sunday 27th October. The gates will open again at midnight UK time on the Sunday. Maximum of three entries and please say 'No thank you' in a comment if you wish to still play but not be the winner of the prize this week, as shown above.

Mr Linky is below - do please let me know if you have any problems linking, I can sort it out for you quite quickly and am always happy to do so.

Have a lovely week!

Di (and a twitch from Parsnip, who is sleeping off a hangover for some unknown reason, no doubt he'll 'snitch' on you when I get home)
