MMTPT92 ~ ABRACADABRA HOCUS POCUS!! HOW DO I KNOW MY CARD IS IN FOCUS??
WELCOME TO TEAPOT TUESDAY AND CHALLENGE #92
ABRACADABRA, HOCUS POCUS!!
HOW DO I KNOW MY CARD IS IN FOCUS??
Note: Anyone is welcome to play! Also, you do not have to write a story. You just have to be inspired by the teapot or by the story about this week's location! Have fun!
This is my story!
Special Note: Sorry for the late upload. I was waiting to see how things would shake out this morning at SCS! As you all know we have been asked not to upload to the gallery until SCS has things squared away. It seems cards have been disappearing, are not viewable, are sometimes replaced with red X's! After reading my challenge you will know it might be my fault! Snort! Don't tell anyone what I brought to the Tea Party this week! I don't wanna get kicked outa SCS!
1. If Teapot Tuesday was a race, I think I would be winning! Not because I would be winning, but because I am so far behind, it's like I'm in first!! I honestly can't believe how fast Tuesday snuck up on me! Being out of town didn't help but I am usually a little more on top of stuff! Heck, I haven't even commented on last week's cards and today a whole nuther teapot gallery will begin to magically appear! And that's not the only thing I have not done! Giggle!
2. Speaking of magic, this cute little teapot has just got to be straight outa the Magical Teapot Hall of Fame! It's gotta be! The black top hat, the magically appearing rabbit, the playing cards, and of course, the magical wand. And if all that is not enough, something magically strange happened to my card when this little teapot arrived. It disappeared! I know, I know, it seems a little fishy but I am not telling you a story, feedin' you a line! I made the cutest little card, the spittin' image of this teapot and once it was in the presence of this teapot, it magically disappeared! Just look at it below! It's not there! The only thing left is my watermark and Marilynn's wee little teapot pin! Yikes!!
AbraCaDabra, Hocus Pocus!!
How do I know my card is in focus?
3. Here's the trick Mick! Mick is David Copperfield's mentor! He's made 42,000 items disappear in his illustrious career! He taught David everything he knows! We are off to experience David Copperfield's magic, try to get a few pointers, tips, lessons in magic. Maybe meet the talented magician that is responsible for my card disappearing, magically removed with the watermark still there!! How might we bring it back? AbraCaDabra, Hocus Pocus!! How do I know if my card was in focus? Snort!
4. Just in case this little teapot and its magical abilities are too much for David to compete with and he can't solve the mystery of my disappearing card, then let's bring some magic of our own! We'll teach him how to make things disappear! Bring a card, any card, the sky's the limit, but in your commentary, you have to inform us of what was magically removed from it! What you made disappear, what was once there but is no longer!
Whut? I hope you guys don't think I am pulling your leg about my card magically disappearing! You might be thinking that I made this story up, never made a card in the first place! Well, I may have told a story or two in the past but I can guaranty that this challenge is not in the world of make believe. Its true, its for real! My card is simply not there and I sorta suspect it will never show up!! So show me your wonderful card inspired by this magical little teapot and let's hear about what you made disappear on your card! Remember, the sky is the limit, no requirements here!
I have help this week with two great sample cards!
One made by......
Oh no! The Teapotters Who Made My Sample Cards Disappeared!!
Thank you all for understanding why my card truly is invisible this week! Thank you all for your kind words, cards, and thoughtful sympathy wishes! I will be back to Tea Party mode next week for sure![/SIZE][/B]
Be sure to you use KEYWORD MMTPT92 in your upload and post a comment here so we can all see your card!
Ever want to get a jump on next week's challenge card? I am posting a sneak peak (tea peek) on my blog each week showing you a glimpse of the following week's teapot as well as a hint of the story! It's at the end of the Teapot Tuesday Post each week. I usually post it a couple days after the Tuesday Challenge is posted. So, be sneaky and get a jump on the other tea-potters! Snort!
If you are confused about these challenge, see the first sticky post of this thread for more information. There is also a directory of individual challenges
AND NOW A TEAPOT TUESDAY BIRTHDAY TOAST
TO THIS WEEK'S BIRTHDAY GIRLS
(KEEP THOSE PINKY'S UP GIRLS!)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
JOAN ERVIN ~ 5/7
PAT SMETHERS ~ 5/9
MARILYNN ~ 5/10
HAPPY Birthday You Two!! I hope you both have wonderful birthdays! Hey, you onery Teapotters! Bring their birthday cakes back! Whut? They disappeared? Hey Joan and Marilynn, don't worry, don't cry! I will get your birthday cakes back if its the last thing I do! Snort!
And in exchange, I will see if I can make some of your *years* disappear! How's that?
Edit! I just edited my birthday wish to include Pat Smethers! Don't tell her I did that, she is one of those that likes to keep her birthday a secret but we won't be having that! Nope! We won't! Happy Birthday Pat!!!
Have all the replies disappeared or am I first? I think my whole life qualifies for this challenge, as there are at least 42,000 items that have disappeared from my RV! When I make cards the image I just colored can some times vanish!
Now this challenge is certainly that - I need to think about that one LOL!
Welcome back, Cindy. And I hope you are not fretting about comments for last week - we certainly understand.
Happy birthday Joan and Marilynn.
Stamping is magic, because stuff disappears all the time. I could make a card in half the time if images, stamps, adhesive and embellies didn't disappear off my desk every time I worked on a card.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Joan, Pat, and Marilynn!!!! I see the years "disappearing" from your youthful faces and hope each of you has a abracadabra supercalifragilistic expealidocious splendiferously wonderful magical day!
Now, Patty Cakes, don't you be mad at da Mudder for revealing your birthday. We all would be so disappointed if we missed wishing our sweet sistah a happy birthday!
Eek, I'll having to get a thinking hat on pronto for this - or maybe that top hat?
I'm sorry I didn't know it was Pat's birthday, I only just updated my list last week and got organised for May; at least I know I am not losing it altogether. I'm hoping Joan's house doesn't disappear when my card gets there, like it did last year ;-).
Still seems to be preferred that we don't upload, so I'll practice some Patience with that deck of cards.
Welcome back, Cindy...and Happy Birthday to Joan, Pat, Marilynn. I hope your birthday(s) is as special as mine was last week. (Husband took me to a Bed and Breakfast for my Birthday) The teapot is so cute...but Your disappearing card is so funny. I thought I was the only one who has things disappearing all the time. I actually keep a list of things I can't find. (and of course, sometimes even the list disappears)

Happy May Birthdays!!
Cindy: I'd like to echo Traci's sentiments that I, too, am relieved you are home safely:
We miss you, Mudder
Oh, yes, we do
We miss you, Mudder
It's always true
When you're not with us
we're bluuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuue!
Oh, Mudder we missed you!
Thanks for the b-day wishes. I got the coolest stamp set yesterday for my birthday. I'm sure you all will be seeing it used a lot in the days to come. I hope we can start uploading cards soon. Sounds like a really neat challenge. I'm running behind too Cindy. Maybe we can use our magic to stop time until we catch up. Happy Birthday Joan and Pat!
OMG! When I was in Minnesota you all got goofier!! Who'd a thunk! Giggle! Okay, we gotta really learn some stuff from Copper-Baby. We got the SCS website to fix, we got time to stop, we got disappearing houses (Joan's) to find, we got birthday years to get rid of, we got missing stamping supplies, 42,000 of them. We gotta do alot of stuff today! Has anyone seen David? Oh no, don't tell me Mick disappeared him????? Snort!
Hey, when did the cookies disappear? The ones with black frosting and while sprinklies????
As it seems we're still not meant to upload till maybe tomorrow, I'm sticking mine here as an attachment temporarily. I had a head-wrecking day at work, and having got my bunny made, I don't want him to disappear in the gallery. I'll upload it into my gallery tomorrow with full details.
What's missing is batteries for my flash, to use off-camera, ha ha. This will go to my nephew tomorrow saying maybe he can change the money inside into something he'd like. But I hope I'll be able to take a better picture when I can use my flash.
Here I am, in the gallery . Well done the SCS team. Hey Presto
HAPPY BIrthday for the May celebrants. And many more...
Waiting for the gallery to open was trying my patience - then I missed the announcement LOL!
Having something disappear is pretty easy for me - just figuring out how to make it relate to a card was the challenge. Guess that is why this is called a challenge, right?
Happy Birthday to the May ladies - hope you all have extra special days - AND CAKE --- big hugs!!!
Here's my card - my mojo disappeared two weeks ago and I'm hoping the magic of the tea party will bring it back !! Hey - come to think of it, the last card I did was for a tea party - that granny must have knocked me flat on my you know what LOL!!
Happy Birthday to all the May "babies"! Yes, that's right babies. You see Cindy is just full of...magic...of course and she has made too many years disappear! LOL! Glad you are back Cindy!

Rut roh! Maybe we better have a teaparty at a diaper manufacturer! Snort! Darn it! One never knows when one goes to far! Giggle!
Thanks for the welcome back.....but I would like to WELCOME YOU BACK!
So there I was minding my own business making a card with my new Manhatten Flower EF, and I swore I colored the roses and butterflies. I stepped away because of 42,000 phone calls and when I came back the only color left on the card was the yellow butterfly and a little moonlight white ink (Brilliance) Hocus Pocus????? First the color . . . by Gale R at Splitcoaststampers . Well that was okay as I love grey and yellow and the yellow butterfly has special meaning (it reminds me that my late mother is watching over me). But then whe I got up this morning and looked at the card again - hey where did the yellow butterfly go????? Hocus Pocus????? Then the butterfly by Gale R at Splitcoaststampers Darn that Mick and his David Copperfield magic!
Gaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh - and then after my cards disappeared and I reposted them the keyword on the repost "disappeared". Once the cards are reapproved all should be right in SCS world >
My card disappeared on Tuesday and I just got it back up. No rhyme this time.
Actually what really disappeared from my life was Monday. My husband took me out to lunch on Tuesday and I mentioned I was doing laundry and getting caught up and "Mondays are always like that" --- he looked at me kindly and spoke very slowly as he told me it was indeed Tuesday ... ahhhh. This is what it is going to be like getting old ... so what I was missing this week was Monday which appeared on Tuesday and made my card late till Friday. Go figure.

Thanks SCSers for all your encouragement!
I'm guessing this is where we post our cards--if not I know they will disappear like they normally do. I'm not much of a story teller so nothing grand to go along with this!!! Some one else is welcome to make up something if they wish.
Hummm seems my cards have up and vanished !!!! Do you suppose there is something going on here ???? I'm just hoping that it's becuase I had to go in and make some edits to mine. But it was here -really it was
