Hi everyone, I was just looking at my blog this morning when I realised that I hadn't submitted my homework for this fortnight's Snippets Playground challenge - nay, I hadn't even completed it, so detention loomed!! I know I have been on holiday for a week as per my pictures in previous post here, but that's no excuse - particularly in term time!!
This fortnight's theme is Christmas In July, which when combined with snippets immediately suggested to me baubles and a fern branch die cut from some of the many snippets of glitter card I've got stored in a box! I assembled an assortment of snippets to choose from as per picture, and off I went.
Here's the result.
Although this may look like a very simple card, it seemed to take me ages to find everything and then ages more while I faffed about with placement of the die cuts. After all that I am throwing myself through the rapidly closing Playground gates before they clang shut - detention swerved! Phew, I think I need a cocktail in the Treehouse now to recover!
Stamps: Uniko - Christmas Wishes;
Media: Lavinia Elements ink (Violet Chalk); Versafine Clair (Nocturne);

What a perfect snippets card Pauline - I love the sparkle and the design is elegant, CAS and also very effective. Wow, your photos are wonderful from your break in Anglesey - I can imagine you were like a kid in a sweet shop at Lavinia's.

Love all the glitter for your pretty ornaments and the sponged edge color is such a complement to the ornaments and fern. Thanks for sharing with us at Double Trouble.
So pretty, Pauline! Using glimmery paper for the die-cut holiday images was a great idea. Thank you for playing along with us at Double Trouble #143. -- Melanie R.
