Here is my entry for the teapot challenge that Mothermark hosts every week and can be found here on her blog: http://mothermark.blogspot.com/
That little ‘teapot house’ is a bit more intricate for my talent or patience so, yes I cheated. I printed it, cut it out and pasted that thing to my card. If I could have lied and got away with it I would have.
IÂ’m not bringing a pillow with me so I can finally use the front door. This will be a first for me.
Thanks Cindy for the fun challenge.

Very pretty card! Cheating schmeating, we create cards! LOL I just love that you kept the same colors in the background, the zig zag and the steam from the spout of the house teapot! You're lucky to be allowed in the front door! TFS, it's a marvelously well done card.

Have I not told you before that there is no such thing as cheating? Afterall, its a Mothermark challenge...so you know there would be cheating going on! Snort! I call that being resourceful!
I do love this! Look how awesome it is with your stitching! I am loving the *look* of it! And the background paper is perfection!
I know what your angle is! You just wanna make a more sophisticated entrance through the front door since House and Lionel Ritchie will be there! I got your number....and then when they leave, you will be partaking in the pillow fight! I just know it!
Thanks for coming again this week. And thanks for the link! Hee!

This is so great! Before I read your description, I was wondering how you could possibly have matched Cindy's teapot pin cushion so absolutely perfectly! Very clever idea! Love the zig zag stitching and the cute heart in the corner!

FABO STITCHING! You and MariLynn are killing me with these cool computer ideas! I don't think it's cheating at all...I call that SMART! But I know about the fibbing thing...one time, I used a Mary Englebrecht magnet at the tea party and wrote in my description how I colored this Mary Englebrecht image with my Copics, hahahahaha...but I let them know at the end it was just a magnet from the dollar bin at Michael's, hee! The background you made is adorable!

Wow, I think you are very creative to think of printing the image on the computer!! Love the background papers and stitching, and especially that cute heart in the corner!
