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:
As I used a stencil I can also enter Stencil Fun challenge with the optional theme of Fall.
Hello lovely crafters
A quick post to show you these cards I made to add to my Christmas stash (still very small).
I used my Gina K Mandala Maker stamp set with a technique I've seen Jennifer McGuire use and possibly some other people.
Using a piece of card cut into four pieces and taped back together. Then stamping the design in the middle. Turning those corners to the outside and stamping a smaller design.
I forgot to do the before but here are the cards half made to give an idea.
I'm not sure how Christmassy they look but hey! I like them.
I hopping over to the Snippets Playground where it is Christmas in July. You have a few days left to join in and be in with a chance of winning a bumper prize.
I've used larger red and green snippets to mount and black for the greetings which are also layered up to add dimension.
Hello lovely crafters!
Here is a dotty card I made. Not my usual sort of style, whatever that is, but I made this dotty stencilled background and then wondered what to do with it. Tell me I'm not the only one who does that?
I inked through a dotty stencil with only blue, yellow and red ink. The green is where it has blended. It was quite random, there was some overlapping and some areas still white which I quite like.
