      The white cardstock for the sentiment was cut out of a full sheet of cardstock and I've already been able to use other parts of that sheet. Also the blue paper that the washi tape was applied to is a scrap/snippet too. Originally it was slightly larger but it was trimmed down in order to have some margin/framing around it.

      No worries. I thought the info I shared in my notes section had enough details so I went back in and did some bold print and added in a few more words to make it more distinct.

      Lovely work Becca. We do deal in 'snippets' in the Snippets Playground (hence the name of the challenge) and using bold can be deemed shouting so we'd likely skim over it - I surely would..

      Di: thanks for coming by. The bold print was added in after publishing and doing my link-ups. I was just wanting to make it stand out for folks that would be giving the post a quick scan. Thanks for having your challenge blog available as an option!
