The extra challenge this week was to add a zipper and/or chains and/or make it something that holds something. Well, my matching tea cup holds a tea bag so I hope I qualify.
I heard a rumor that there was cake this week and I'm hoping they saved me a piece!

There you are! I knew you would be here? Did you get caught up behind a train or was the traffic just bad? No worries we are drinking tea 24/7!
Another wonderful card! You just keep em coming, girl! I love the pattern of your little teacup and how fun that it holds a tea bag sporting a little sentiment! Very creative! I heard the rumor about the cake too...it seems like it was German Chocolate. I have already put your name on a piece!! A big piece! Snort!

Got to be a nice soothing comforting orange tea in that gorgeous cup - that would make anyone feel better quickly. Such clever sponging to make the *stem* ?? *waist* ?? of the cup show so well. I thought it was MariLynn who brought the German Chocolate cake, but it looks like such a busy teaparty this week that I'd better nip back home and make a Spanish Orange and Chocolate cake.

Oh cool cup, don't ya just love that floral huh! What a clever idea to put this tea bag and little sentiment. Bound to make anyone feel better in an instant! Great cup! Only problem now is I'll have to empty your cup and wrap it before I put it in my purse. Now some would call that stealing, I just call it borrowing...how people get excited sometimes! LOL
Beautiful card. TFS and for joining the teapot ladies!

Lorraine! It is like the floral bg was made for this card! I love your sponging, and sweet lil tag. Your card is precious. Will save you some cake from the Mooresville bakery!
