As this publishes I should be playing at my old School Reunion in Stratford Upon Avon - not sure about dancing on the tables this time though! Len and Parsnip are 'home alone' and probably having a great time without me :)
We have another Guest Designer this fortnight, and it's Megan of 'My Merry Card Corner'. We have not one, but two, snippets cards from her:
Wow - two really gorgeous cards from Megan - and showing some great ways to use up snippets of course! Love the fresh look of these cards, perfectly designed and made and the colours are so lovely. Aren't the dies stunning as well - just read what Megan has to say about the cards and the dies below:
I have been trying to have a clean up of my desk and make use of
the large volume of snippety bits currently holding a take over bid of
my desk top, I found this strip of paper and decided to make two cards
to use it up, I dug around in my box of snippets for some co-ordinating
card to layer the bits on and came up with these two designs, I have
also been trying out some of the super cheap dies I have bought online
from China and I will not be accepting any responsibility for enabling
any of you!!!!
Something Megan says that's so true - snippets do make a bid to take over the place!
Let's move onto my picks from this past fortnight - tough call as always! I say that every fortnight and it's so, so true! To be honest, each one of this fortnight's picks is worthy of a Gold Star, so ladies do feel free to pick up your badge from the RH sidebar!
Vinita made this fabulous Mothers Day card - as I said on her blog, it's jaw-droppingly gorgeous! What a wonderful
Mothers Day card - and so much fabulous detail as well. The huge pink
rose she made for the front is stunning - and there's lots of detail about the whole process over on Vinita's blog too.
That's my three picks - I do hope they will inspire you as well girls. They're extremely detailed pieces of work, that's the 'theme' I homed in on this fortnight. Of course we had loads of fabulous ways to use up snippets, so I do recommend that you grab a cup of coffee and spend some time visiting blogs - the thumbnails with links are always there for you to look back over.
59 of you joined in this past fortnight - with one new Playmate:
Welcome to the Snippets Playground and I do hope you return to play again soon.
April
Well done April - can you please drop me an email with
your
address in and I'll post
your prize off as soon as possible once I return from my 'jollies'! As you're such a cat lover I think you'll be extra pleased with Mr Random! My email address is on the
right
hand side bar.
Keep those snippets entries coming girls, you still have a week left to play HERE remember! And the prize is a W Plus 9 'Doodle Buds' stamps set and the Avery Elle 'Postage Elle-Ments' die set.
Love from the little white peril - and of course from me too
