Today's TeaPot challenge is to help Nibbles and Fritz adjust to a move from TX to California. One way to do this is to encourage their feline fantasies. If you look at the challenge, you can see my card has no resemblance whatsoever to the teapot. I do think, however, that this qualifies as a feline fantasy!
Edit: I can tell from comments that I should explain a bit more - These teapot cats are fantasizing about one of their remaining lives - maybe coming back in another form!
Actually, I am having to create several family birthday cards - we are taking some extended trips so I need them NOW! I hope this is ok for our 22 YO DGS - I have about exhausted the hunting and fishing images LOL!
I used this sketch: http://cardpatterns.blogspot.com/
I have not used the CB birthday folder as a flipped layer - but I think it worked ok. (I figured that some of the words are vertical anyway!)
And this blog challenge was to use purple and brown and another (lilac) - hope that I minimized the purple enough to work for a guy! http://stamp-n-doodle.blogspot.com/

A nice masculine card...your card description gave me a chuckle...
"you can see my card has no resemblance whatsoever to the teapot" you could just have kept me guessing, because I was trying to figure out how it matched...LOL. Must be because it's getting late at night as I'm typing this...

I love that image of the wolves - this is the first time I've heard of cats wanting to come back as something else - especially in the wof or canine species - you know Cats Rule, Dogs Drool!!

Oh man! That time has come already? Well, Dorothy we are really gonna miss you but I know you will have the time of your life! I love that you are enjoying time with Mr. Etsdas!!! Yah, Yah, I know his name, but its more fun calling him that! Tee hee!
That image is unbelievable! What cat in their right mind wouldn't wanna come back as a sly ole fox! After all, how many times has the fox tricked the cats when chasing the grub!!!! Yah, that's a fantasy worth wishing for! Tee hee! This card is perfection for a 22 year old...because after all, its hand crafted by a loved one!!!
Have fun!!!! Hoping you can keep up even a little......we will miss you......Big hugs, be careful and most of all have fun, fun, fun!

Cute backdoor card. Love these wolves or foxes or whatever they are - they are gorgeous. No wonder the cat wants to be reincarnated!! I like the folder flipped too.
