This card is for TWO Challenges: Yesterday's, Teapot Tuesday Challenge(I know, I know, I'm LATE!) and Another for today's Sketch Challenge.
If you knew me...you would know, I'm usually running LATE! I wanted to do this challenge yesterday...but I didn't have any GOOD ideas in me. You'll never guess what happened this morning:
This is my story:
This morning... at 5:34 am, I woke up and (not so politely) told my husband to, "SHUT THE ALARM!" I rolled over and fell back asleep. A few minutes later... I kinda-sorta SHOVED my husband and told him again to , "SHUT YOUR ALARM ALREADY!" As I rolled back over, my husband said to me, "My alarm ISN'T going off! It's 5:34am and it's not supposed to go off till 6:00am." As I started to wake up a bit more to listen to the noise that was waking me up, I realized what I was hearing. RIGHT outside our window (which is RIGHT above our heads) were BIRDS chirping REALLY loudly! I thought... "Is the BIRDBRAIN train from the Teapot Challenge outside my window!?!" You see last night, I was reading my Card's comments from yesterday's Color Combo Challenge, and Bonnie (lovelightandpeace) left me, at the bottom of her comment, this message:
"Love to have you join us for the Tea Parties.. .they are fun and a way to create funny cards... and have fun.. let a few words fly ... and jaw on the fat... lots of fun.. and would love to have you join us.. "
I just thought I would be no good at this challenge. But, you see you Teapotter's REALLY work together, don't you? You had that BIRDTRAIN come pass by my window @ 5:34am just to make sure I wouldn't miss the party! Well, I'm LATE Bonnie, but I'm HERE!! And GLAD TO BE!!!
Hope you like my story!!

Woot! Hey, when the teapotters are on a mission, that mission is accomplished no matter what! Snort!
Oh, by the way, sorry about your flower beds.....oh, you haven't been outside yet? Really? Oh nothing really...just saying your flowers beds are very nice!
Whisper: Bonnie, did you do a good job proppin' up the flowers the Birdbrain Train ran over when we exited her yard? She says she hasn't been out there yet, so maybe things will be alright....Lets just play dumb...maybe she still won't notice! Snort!

Welcome! So glad Bonnie gave you your personal invite! I am thrilled to have you....the birdies are obnoxious huh! They say they are singing but know better!
Your card is just precious...I love the wonderful embellishments you used.....and I will tell you like Bonnie will tell you, there is not such a thing as being late to a teaparty.....the party just changes location every Tuesday.....
Bonnie is right, we do have great fun....and very seldom get in trouble......even our trouble is make believe!

Cute card - funny story. Great sketch card! BTW, I've been late to all the teaparties that I've managed to create a card for. It's my way... ;-)
