Teddy or Polar Bears for the CCC!

Hello Everyone, well it's the weekend once again, didn't that week whizz by, I hope you had a good one. I also hope that you are well, but sending kind thoughts to those who are not so well that you will feel better soon.

It's also time for another Christmas Card Club card, and this time around it's our lovely Valery who has chosen the theme of Teddy or Polar Bears, here is what I've come up with;
I chose as you can see Polar Bears and this lovely image is from LOTV, I love this image of the daddy bear and his son carrying the Christmas tree home, have to let your imagination loose here as I'm not all that sure that there would be trees for him to find and also I don't think daddy bears bother with there cubs,,,, but there again maybe it's a Mummy bear and they live around Canada. Lol!
So, coloured with Spectrum Noir  pens and papers from Dovecraft. Sentiment is one by CB, added lots of snow that I got from Mrs. Duck at her The Duck's Doodahs Online shop which you can find
here, then embellished with buttons gems and silver thread.
Hope you like it Valery, I had fun doing it and using a stamp I've had for yonks.

We had a lovely day today at the Hub for a music session, not so many musicians, more  singers today, but we missed our Dougie who was too unwell to go along with us. He plays all sort of whistles and mouth organ and he is brilliant on them. Fairly miss is playing. 

Thank you all for you very kind comments on my last card, I would like to think I would do more,  will have to think about a different shaped flower.

This will be a scheduled post for tomorrow Sunday, that's me for now, take care and see you soon,

Cute image with the Father Polar Bear out bringing home the tree with his Little Bear. The distressing on the edges ties into your mat colors so pretty, and of course the texture of the snow looks great. Always love a card with buttons too. TFS & Hugs

The polar bear image is really cute and I love the colours used. He would have a hard time finding a tree in Canada since they live above the tree line but maybe he grabbed one off a lot in Churchill.

Great polar bear card, Kate. I think it is too a Canadian bear...he may just live down the street...lol

We actually do see black bears around the cities. My friends get them in their back garden and other friends see them quite often in their gardens as well. It depends if you live near the Fraser River as they fish there and then go off foraging. As construction takes away their habitats, they venture closer to people all the time.

Your card is lovely. I like the papers and the sentiment too!

Love & Hugs Jennifer xx.
