1. Okay, so Mother's Day is behind us. As a result of that, I chose a white teapot. You are wondering why? Well, didn't my Mother always tell me that you can't wear white shoes until a certain time of year has passed? Maybe it's not Mother's Day but Easter! Now that I think about it, I remember wearing white shoes on Easter Day. Maybe the Mother's Day thing is planting your petunias! Yah, I think that's it, in Colorado you can't plant your flower baskets until after Mother's Day to be safe from freeze and snow! All I know is that it's a good thing to be on this side of Mother's Day!
2. Mother's Day was Marilynn's birthday! She got spoiled double time! She probably did that on purpose so she could get double presents! She's no dummy! The Birthday Cake part of this card is in honor of Marilynn and her birthday. Did you know Marilynn has never missed a Teapot Challenge? I love that! Thanks Marilynn! I hope your birthday was just wonderful!

Like all the texture you have given your card. The touch of black makes it very elegant. But, white at the tea party might be a problem with the group that shows up each week. You know how messy things can get at times!

Oh me, oh my! I do love this teapot, has a "zen" feel to it. Might now be too zen at the party today, it's MariLynn's birthday and I need to make something very special for her.
You did very good with your teapot/birthday cake too Cindy. I see no doorman, no rules, just a party! That's my kind of challenge.

Wonderful tea pot card, Cindy! Love the textured flowers and the awesome handle! So creative! I hope everyone behaves today since we will all be wwearing white! Could be a problem if a food fight breaks out! Or maybe not as long as the cake is white!

Geesh I leave the party for a minute to use the mummy's room and a fight breaks out. What.... sweet little Carla is being bullied. Well we can have none of that. I have friends you know... The ghostly kind... They come and go without even being noticed.
Great card Cindy... Love the flowers. Only you could create a
3 layered cake teapot. Thanks for pot.....LOL

Oh Cindy, what a fun party today! I don't normally do white......in fact didn't do white today either. LOL But I came to this elegant affair and so far everyone is sort of getting along. I did hear someone was picking on sweet Carla. But not to worry, Dawn has friends! Love your cake card. That handle is too creative. Those felt flowers are so pretty. Hope someone doesn't start picking them off and tossing them around! Want to stay clean! Wonderful party today. Your card is gorgeous! TFS :0)
