Hi everyone. It’s Mimi here sharing my ‘Create a Scene” playground project featuring the new fruit basket!

I started with a die cut of the large slimline rectangle, the Puffy Cloud Border and a freehand cut of a slimline strip. I ink blended the top of the large slimline rectangle with Lawn Fawn Peacock ink for the sky and the bottom portion with Distress Oxide Tea Dye and Antique Linen ink spattered with Vintage Photo Distress Oxide ink for the sand. The puffy cloud border and the freehand cut strip were ink blended with Lawn Fawn Jalapeño and Freshly Cut Grass ink for the shrubs and grass. I also stamped a few sand waves from On the Beach with Brushed Corduroy Distress Oxide ink.

I started with the swing set from Let’s Play. I wanted the swing set to be longer, so I extended the swing set by masking one end and stamping it again. I also scaled down the swing to fit the Tiny Friends, so I masked one end of the swing and stamped it again closer. I positioned one of the swings sideways to make it look like Grandma is pushing the girl on the swing.

Next, I die cut the new Fruit Basket die twice and flipped it upside down to create a dome climbing jungle gym. I offset one over the other to give it a little dimension. I added some dots to the climber at the connecting points. I placed a few Tiny Friends climbing and hanging upside down.

The play structure was created using the booth from Coaster Critters. I added a ladder from Cheery Christmas and I used the top portion of the hamster wheel from Wheelie Like You to make the middle bridge. The small slide was made by stamping only the slide railing of the slide from Let’s Play. Lastly, I added a wooden play boat from Ahoy Matey and finished off the scene by adding some highlights with a white gel pen.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoyed my ‘Create a Scene’.

Oh wow, Mimi! This clever playground scene is amazing! Thank you so much for sharing with us today!

  1. Just came across this playground scene on a Pinterest page….it’s phenomenal! Super duper creativity used here. I was just amazed when I saw the photo, so I HAD to come over here to see exactly how you made the pieces. I don’t know how your brain works, but I’d love to borrow it sometime! WOW!!!
