Hello lovely crafters
I'm back with a card at last.
I bought this new flower stamp at a show a few weeks ago so wanted to use it. I dithered for ages over which flower stamp to get. There were so many and all so pretty. Honey Doo Crafts.
or where did that inky smudge come from...?

Happy New Year everyone!
I hope it's peaceful and happy with plenty of time to do what you love.
I've had a bit of time for crafting so here is my first Snippets card for this year.
The challenge at the Snippets Playground this time is 'Anything but Christmas' and to use snippets, of course. I'm very happy to leave wintry cards behind for a bit and I've purposely gone spring/summery with these flowers.
I'm sure I've seen this sort of idea on a card before but I don't remember where and I didn't look up any inspiration. I just started with half an idea, as usual!
The flowers are Julie Hickey, leaves assorted from an old set all coloured with watercolour pencils. The envelope is also made from a snippets. Everything is cut out and arranged on top.
I wanted to add a greeting popping up out of the flowers but wherever I put it, it was covering something so I'm still thinking on that one. Perhaps I should have started with that and gone from there?
I'm hopping over to the Snippets Playground where we are basking in the success of our Nativity play. Don't let anyone tell you it wasn't, there are bound to be a few hiccups!
Hello lovely crafters
Feeling smug! I found myself needing quite a few last minute Christmas cards due to lack of motivation and inspiration over the last few months.
I looked through one of my folders and found these very old card bases which are a funny size. Then I had the genius idea of cutting them in half. I really like small Christmas cards so that was perfect. Quick to make and easier when short of ideas.
Here are three I made. Bad photos, taken in a hurry!

Two cards made entirely from snippets:
Hello lovely crafters
My sort out continues and I have now confronted the exact number of snippets which have accumulated in my crafty corner. It's too many, even accounting for the ones I have ruthlessly thrown, I still have enough white scraps to last a lifetime. Several lifetimes...
On the positive, I have sorted them, stored them and I know what I have and where! Best get on and make something with them now.
Here is a card I made using a Kraft snippet discovered in the sort out and also a red snippet to frame.
I used a Lavinia branch and birds and a Little Claire stamp for the centre.
Coloured with a mix of pencils, a red glittery pen and a gel pen.
I'd like to enter the 52 Christmas Card Throwdown challenge:
Snippets used as above and I hope extra brownie points for sorting them out! Lol.
Thanks for visiting, enjoy your day.
Hello lovely crafters
I've had two weeks to make a card for the current challenge at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown but still I'm running in at the last minute!
Hello lovely crafters
No sooner said than done. Sometimes a card just works and this one did.
I'm way behind with my Christmas cards so I went looking for a Christmas challenge. 52 Christmas Card Throwdown has a challenge this week of:
