Anyway, I am Guest Designer over at the Snippet's Playground, how exciting is that?!!! Thank you Di for having me today!! I hope I do not disappoint. So to play at the playground all you have to do is use snippets (scraps) on your project and it doesn't have to be a paper project either! I have a few people I'm trying to encourage as they are going through very hard times with their health, so my card is an encouragement card. I used a window die and made the front of my card look like the inside of a room. Or at least I hope it does! I die cut the window into the card base, using all snippets, I put "wallpaper" above and below the "chair rail" and for my curtains. I stamped and colored two potted plants as well for the front of the card. I also have acetate in the window. That was a snippet too! Then I proceeded to stamp my scene inside my card base. I colored with my Zig Clean Color Markers, images were small so not much shading I'm afraid. But I still like the way it turned out. After I got my inside scene and sentiment done, I worked on the other side of the window-the outside part that will be seen from the inside. Clear as mud???? I embossed a brick pattern on another snippet after I cut the window out. Stamped and colored my flowers for the window box you can't see. And that is it! A simple to make card but busy one! lol
The inside scene that you see through the window
Inside the card, but the outside of the window- confused yet??

Simply BRILLIANT, dear friend, how inspired you were to make this card for your GDT position... big congrats of course. Well deserved.
I'm delighted you were chosen well done.
Love the design and layout using inside and outside your sweet little dwelling you've created, would cheer anyone's heart.
Big hugs from summery Downunder, still quite summery though winter should be here.
Thanks for popping over, and that swimming hole was where Robin and I went swimming, twice whilst she was here.

Thank you for guest designing for Di, Brenda, so she doesn't have to work so hard for us! You are a dear! I first saw your card at the Playground yesterday and I had to go to bed and get my jaw relocated before I could come see it here and comment. It is, bar none, the most incredible window card I have ever seen!! What amazing attention to detail! Enjoy your day and your busy-in-a-good-way life! We all understand!! Hugs, Darnell
Congratulations on your Guest Design spot, Brenda ... you've done Di and all the players so proud with your wonderful window scene! What a brilliant idea to have both the sweetly decorated inside and well tended outside of the house to admire, they're fantastic ... and the double sentiment is fabulous with that sweetly coloured cutie! The recipient will be thrilled to have this little masterpiece ... I'm certain it will lift spirits! Hugs, Anita :)
It's only me to add another big thank you Brenda for your wonderful GD card! It's a huge hit!! And quite rightly so as well.
Hugs
Di xx
Brenda this is gorgeous - love the window technique and the way you have used it.
Blessings

Such a lovely card Brenda with a gorgeous sentiment! Congrats on your guest designer spot! April xx
What an excellent card for your GD spot! Love how you have shown such encouragement with all the pretties, and I love that you're inside the room looking out. Lovely to add the plant details too. It's bright & cheery, and just all round, clever design. YAY for you! Miss will love it I'm thinking! TFS & Hugs
Oops, forgot to compliment Miss S. She is looking mighty pretty too, and I can see who is the boss at YOUR house! Hugs
Hi Brenda, saw this at the Playground and had to pop over and say congrats on your GDT position with the lovely Miss Pixie.
This is a really beautiful card huni, I love that you can see through it and when you open it you see the pretty girl in the rain, love that! Missy Savannah has gotten big too, so pretty and lovely fluffy fur too.
I also had to pop over and say thank you my lovely precious friend, your comment really touched my heart and brought tears to my eyes.
I drive my family and husband nuts with putting myself down, I've never felt that confident and as some things were said to me when I was younger by art professionals knocked the stuffing out of me and I've never felt good enough at art or crafts. So there you know. I am stupidly damaged because of that but I promise you I am trying harder to believe in myself and I am better than I was, not putting myself down so much lol. Thank you sweetheart, you made me feel so much better and your words touched my heart big time xx
Oh my stars!!!! Your card is most breathtaking!!! I so love the whole scene!! The inside of the room, the outside of the window and then the outside scene!!!! Awesomeness for sure!!!!!!
Good morning, my little friend! I've finally come by, after 2 months of not hopping around the blogosphere! I'm slowly getting back to the swing of things!
I've chosen this post as my favorite card of all I've missed [all beautiful, and totally clever btw] because it speaks to my heart ... in a most perfect way. Stunning!
Secondly... that gorgeous Savannah! OH I do love her, and every German Shepherd I meet!
Take care, Brenda ... I've missed you!
xx
