I hope everyone enjoyed the playground bonfire party, and are now recovered ;) I'd really love it if there is bonfire toffee left in the treehouse.
Before I go, if there is anyone who is in reach of junction 29 of the M1 and can make it to the Be Creative warehouse on 21st November, I am holding a Christmas colouring workshop 10.30-12.30. It will be a very relaxing session of colouring and creative fun! More details can be found on the Be creative facebook page about price and booking.
Here is a little taster of some of my sample cards
Hoping to encourage some more snippet usage!
I will leave you with a picture of my lovely Grandad. He volunteered for WWII and made it back from Dunkirk after sleeping in a hen house for 3 nights! He carried one of his comrades a couple of miles to the boats too. I like to remember him at this time of year, as much for the lovely wild fruit picking walks we shared as for his heroism.

I saw poinsettias in blue on another blog just recently and thought how pretty it looked. I like how you have combined with the patchwork background. Hugs Mrs A.

Love your snippet make Sally.
Your workshop cards look fab too . . . bet you're sold out shortly.
There might be a few stale marshmallows left in the treehouse, but that's about it!

I am down in Warwckshire on 29th ---- otherwise it would have been nice for a trip up the M62 for a bit of 'me' time Sall!
This is a great card - I really like the colours! x
Thanks for sharing the photo of your handsome Grandad, Sally. We owe them so much! Your cards are truly inspiring!! I do especially love how you've colored your poinsettia!! Hugs, Darnell
Lovely card, but I particularly love the story about and photo of your Grandad, very appropriate for this time of year.
Love the fabulous sample cards Sally -the Poinsettia looks amazing in blue.
The photo of your Granddad, and the story of his heroism, is wonderful.
Have a brilliant day on the 21st (wish I lived a bit nearer)!

Hi Sally, I love the sample cards that you've produced for the workshop. The funky Poinsettia stamp is coloured beautifully and I think that blue and brown are always a great colour combination. I also really like the faux patchwork background, it's a really good way of using small, left over pieces of paper. The wreath that you've coloured is stunning and the red berries really stand out against the greens. You've created a wonderful selection of Christmas cards. Enjoy your weekend x
Wow Sally love your blue poinsettia and your sample cards are gorgeous! Good luck with your workshop, wish you were closer :0)

Thanks for your lovely comment - my card has been added to the challenge you mentioned. just love the blue poinsettia. Snippets BREED I'm convinced!!
Hi Sally, beautiful card - love that flower and the patchwork of papers is lovely. I also love your colouring of the wreath - it's stunning and most eyecatching! Many thanks for popping by and leaving such a nice comment. I have now, of course, added my card to Stamping Sensations' challenge as suggested. I'm sure that I will never bottom my snippets mountain - they do breed :) Elizabeth xx
Wow Sally another amazing creation, and the stamped image is beautiful love your colour choices too.
Hugs Janet xxx
