Challenge #421

We've had a good deal of sunshine this week, down in the Southern part of England. However, many parts further North and in Scotland, as well as potentially Ireland, have suffered badly from two storms, one after the other. And so it seems in other countries too. Mother Nature can have such a vicious temper!

Straight onto my sample snippets card:

All the 'how I made it' details are over on my own Pixie's blog, HERE.

NB - I've moved all the details of how I made my snippets cards away from the new Snippets Playground as not all of you might be interested in the 'how' part, I wouldn't really be able to join in any challenges from here and some people only visit my Pixie's blog - so it wasn't really working very well as it was. We live and learn.

And here's the prize for this fortnight:

Although, as I've previously said, I won't always make a 'sample' card - I do still still have a handful of duplicates here to use. So, the prize is a Uniko 'Floral Vines' set of stamps and a Clearly Besotted 'Frame It Die Collection' - exactly the same as I used for my sample card above. 

I think the Uniko floral stamp used alone would also be good for making Christmas cards just by using a stamp from one of your own sets, Christmas colours/gold/silver and possibly, not making it a 'double' - which would be super fast to do! You could whip up a batch in no time.

As always, the Snippets Challenge will run for two weeks and the Playground gates will close at 11am UK time on Saturday 19th February. The gates will open again at midnight UK time on the same day. Mr Linky is below this post.

A plea to three Grand Draw prize winners (Sandy, Lia, and Valerija) - please do drop a quick email to the Snippets email address when your prize arrives, so that I can 'tick you off my list' and feel that the draw is finally completed!

Dudley has loved the sunshine we've been having. Still sticking his nose into everything needless to say. We had a grocery delivery on Wednesday and, for the first time for a very long while, he didn't get over excited. A lesson there for Len who always calls out 'delivery' when groceries, packages and so forth are heading for our front door. It seems to be a trigger word to set Dudley off into a frenzy of running to protect his most loved toys! He coos over them and almost talks in whines and whimpers. But the other day, without the 'trigger' word he just took Honka Duck quietly onto our bed and lay there whilst the whole process went on .......... without his yodeling! It amazes me that we're still finding out new things about him. It's really odd now that the puppy/baby gate into the kitchen from the hallway has been taken away. Dudley doesn't notice as it was left open for most of the time - but Len and I both admitted today that we still find ourselves doing a funny little 'goose step' umpteen times a day, over where the bottom bar was! Perhaps we're just as hard to train!

Love and hugs from Dudley and Di, xx
