Christmas Kickstart Challenge #56 - Reminder

 

It's mid-month time for the current challenge over at Christmas Kickstart!

We're in good company this month as we have Queen of the Snippets lovely Di from Pixie's Crafty Playground. If you're not sure what a 'snippet' is just take a look the picture below...

Challenge #56 - Christmas Snippets

Yes, we're playing with those pieces of design paper that we all hoard, but never know what to do with... Until now!

Here's what Di used to create her adorable card.

I love that Di decided to use her snippets to paper piece her card, and so couldn't resist giving this fun technique a whirl myself. Here are my snippets all laid out and ready to go.

Love this set from Jane's Doodles and that little gingerbread guy always makes me smile.

My second card makes use of this gorgeous set from our sponsor for this challenge. I created some little flags from sentiment banner dies. 

Rudolph is delighted that his Random Raffle for this challenge has been sponsored by Sarah and James.

 

They are generously offering a £10.00 voucher for their lovely online store; you really do need to take a look at what they have on offer AND they are offering 10% off for anyone playing in this challenge! There's a Dala Horse Bundle that is calling to me very loudly... Even more so now that it's reduced in price!

We hope you'll come and play along before this challenge ends on November 30th! 

And, BTW, Di has a new challenge just opened at Pixie's Crafty Workshop so why not play there too?

Christmas Kickstart Challenge #56 - Christmas Snippets

Over at Christmas Kickstart we have a new challenge and a new elf. I know many of you will recognise the lovely Di from Pixie's Crafty Playground. 

Confession #1 - I'm a bit of a latecomer to Di's fabulously fun challenge Pixie's Snippets Playground, but having discovered it I've become a regular visitor as it's so inspiring! We all hoard those lovely little pieces of design paper, but sometimes we just end up with a big box of scraps and tiny off cuts. Never fear, Di is the Queen of 'Snippets' as she calls these tiny paper treasures  and she has an endless supply of fabulous ideas to help incorporate them into our cards.

 

Our challenge for November is:

Challenge #56 - Christmas Snippets

I must own-up (confession #2) and admit that I saw Di's card just before I'd started making mine. Paper piecing is something I really enjoy, so a little bit sneaked onto my card.

Here's what I made for the challenge using products from the fabulous StickerKitten who have very kindly agreed to provide the Rudolph's Random Raffle prize for this challenge.

This is from their adorably cute set Alpaca Wishes. The stamps are just part of a range of beautiful, modern crafting products which I love and I think you will too!

Please come on over and see what Di has created for this challenge! We both hope you'll play along.
