I pulled out a few pieces and the card above was created. It only took a few minutes to make too! Here is a quick pic of the scraps (snippets) I used  I am going to enter this card into the challenge over at the  Snippets Playground Thanks for taking the time to pop over to my blog - hope to see you here again soon xx

As always my team mates have produced some truly awesome cards for this challenge - please do pop over and take a look. Thanks for stopping by - see you soon - J xx
