Sunday Snippets - Polar bear family

It's been far too hot to spend time crafting in my little 'oven' - so this card was a bit of a last minute make! Sorry, the light bounced and sort of bleached the image:

Inside the card with sentiment - plus a little image at the front for the envelope

I used: 

- 7" x 5" white card blank, side opening chopped down from a 8" x 8" white card blank

- the decoupaged image of a Mama polar bear and two her little ones is by Katy Sue and was already assembled last Christmas then put aside

- dug through my snippets and found a piece of Tonic 'Navy Dazzle' card just the right size. The pale blue card, also Tonic, is from a whole sheet called 'Blue Cashmere' - both are pearlescent card by the way

- just glued the image onto the trimmed pale blue and navy layers and then onto the card front - simples!

- I wanted the card front to speak for itself with no sentiment, so I glued a sentiment strip from the same decoupage set across the inside of the card

- there's one little square image on the second photo and that will be added to the envelope when I'm writing Christmas cards later in the year

I love these Katy Sue decoupage sheets - they're fun to assemble and cards can then be as simple or elaborate as you wish to make them. Only one snippet from me this time folks!

Because this card is so simple I wasn't going to add it into any challenges - but at the last minute decided to share it after all:

Allsorts Challenge #830 HERE - 'B is for............ bears, branches and berries' 

Darnell's NBUS Challenge #77 HERE- the Katy Sue image is unique - you only get one of each design in the assorted pack I bought!

Dudley Pupdate: We have a much happier little Dudley now that the temperature has reduced here - sighs of relief all round really. He's been a little trouper and has done his best to keep cool - happily accepting regular sprays of cool water. His favourite spot, as I've previously written here, is our shower room - cool tiles are his idea of bliss! Recently, I've noticed that our bedcovers become rumpled after I've left the bed looking neat - and the other morning I caught the culprit in the act. Dudley, very carefully hooking a paw underneath the top sheet to flip that and the thin fleece to one side - so that he can make a nice cool comfy nest for himself! Little monkey.

No wonder this amused Len and myself today - Saturday. It came from a friend:

So very true and I would know a Havanese happy smile anywhere!

We have a new Challenge #513 being run by our lovely Sarn, over HERE. Hopefully, the little spell of cooler weather might entice many of you to use your snippets then .come and play.

Love from myself and Dudley,
