Hello ladies. Where's that magical lamp, I mean teapot. If I rub it can I have all the stamps I want? Hee Hee Any cupcakes left from last week? (that were kept in the freezer and thawed today).
I know you're thinking what inspiration did you use to make THIS card Lisa? Well, I have the blue, green, and purple. And I have stripes. And I have flowers. The extra stuff well it just sorta came about on its own. Oh and look, last week I could not find a butterfly for nothin and today just as I was taking the picture on came in from the cold and landed on my card. Go figure. TFL

Perfect timing... I was just checking the site, and this caught my eye in the "recent uploads".
This is so cute, Lisa! How funny that you want the magic genie to give you stamps... especially since you didn't use any with this card!! You must need more! I did notice the FAUX stitching here.... now that is how I do it. (Shhhh, sometimes in a picture you can't even tell that it's not real!)
Great card Lisa. Love the cut out butterfly, and the three flowers. The colors are so nice and happy.

Lisa, why didn't the rest of us think to rub the lamp to get more stamps? Now there is going to be fight with ladies getting trampled trying to reach the lamp. I guess I just take a step back and let it all settle down. I'll just look at your pretty card instead. I love how you did your butterfly. The bling in the centers of your flowers is so pretty.

Don't know about magical lamps but your card certainly has a magic quality about it. Love all the colors, patterns and textures. This would make any Genie, in or out of the bottle, proud.

Hey, good thinking girlfriend! That Genie is gonna be in demand now! After spending the morning in the lantern, he is gonna have his hands full granting wishes to crazed tea-potters wanting more stamps! And your first wish came true as this butterfly appeared out of nowhere!
Wish number two, the cupcakes! I just took them out of the freezer. Eat them now, they are even good frozen! Snort!
You have some really fun elements on this card...lots of wonderful piercing, the notebook border thingy and the fun way you did your ribbon! It rocks!
So glad you are here again this week. Just think of all of the piles of new stamps we are all going home with! Woot!

Oh Lisa, you need more stamps! When you can doodle like you do, who needs stamps! Love that sneaky butterfly that just flew in before the picture. Wonderful design here. Glad you made the party. TFS :0)

It's a great teapot card and so pretty too! You have put together some lovely elements. I could go for a frozen cupcake right about now.... think there's any left?

, I was just thinking yesterday that after a glut of butterflies there wasn't one in sight today. What a lovely one you have, with the wings ready to fly off again. Great faxu stitching - I thought it was real till I remembered being caught out before, and I love the punched border too.

This is so pretty Lisa. I love the butterfly. It looks like it is popped up. K & Co is one of my favorite companies for dp. Great CDS ribbon. I love that type of ribbon for cards. Super job. I have a stale cupcake and really warm weather for that butterfly. Come on over.
