Oh my, I loved the teapot Cindy shared with us this week. It sounds a bit small for me, but it looks just wonderful and I found it very inspiring. Due to the fact that I am expiring in a heatwave, I made a simple card. Nearly couldn't find my triangle card bases, but managed to find one in the bottom of a box. I do have some more zebra-like paper, but it was an ideal opportunity to use this wonderful paper from a Clairefontaine pad. I stuck strips to the bottom of each face of the the card. Then I just added some Primas (the orange/red ones are even textured with little spots) and snuck on some black and white polka dot brads to get me in the front door. Black eyelets to thread the ribbon through, and that was me done. Sorry - no snakes in Ireland, and anyway my flute is in being serviced (true); and can I do some Irish dancing instead of belly-dancing? I'm not really much of a dancer, but I did enough Irish dancing in Irish college one summer to stick with me even now!
Happy Birthday Kris!!

Sabrina, this is AWESOME!!!!! That ribbon matches the handle so well. I love the zebra stripes at the bottom. The flowers are beautiful!!! I haven't tried making a box like this. Now I want to go try one like it.

OMG! What a perfect perfect little creation for this challenge! It is so *the teapot*. I love that you put this together and its so eye catching, fun, and special! You had zebra paper? Who'd a thunk!!!
Okay, so there are no snakes in Ireland....a very good thing, but I must ask, are these boxes snake proof? I am finding the need to separate the snakes as they can't seem to get along and the snake charmer found Marilynn's cheesecake so they aren't being serenaded anymore! I am thinking this is two more places other than the big basket we can stash some snakes in! Let me know, would ya? Snort!
Sabrina, I am glad you saw that I used your fun little punch...thanks again girlfriend! Its so fun to have. And thanks for always being here, from so far away....far, far away.......as well, the link! Irish dancing is good, maybe you can teach the belly dancer sumthin!

Hi Sabrina. Oh my....................you were inspired. I just love your triange box. What a great idea. I just love the paper and the flower etc. Awesome. I love that the paper is on the bottom half. Fantastic. Okay, because you've been talking telling us about your card, you've slacked off on the dancing, work it , work it. Let's see that Irish Michael Flatley stuff. Hee Hee.
