Congratulations, Queen Bridget. You have a lovely, lovely gallery. I chose your Fancy a Cuppa? card because I just love cards with teapots and teacups and cards with newsprint. I changed the colors to gray and green, which were inspired by today's Shabby Apple inspiration challenge and the Soiree Dresses.
My granddaughter has been with me all weekend, so I am behind and will return to comment on everyone's lovelies as soon as I can.
TFL.

Lorie, thanks so much for making a card in my honor this week, it means a lot to me! I'm delighted you made a tea themed card, I'm very into them too. I love the newsprint dp you've used as bg. Fabulous job combining these two challenges, these colors together are beautiful (I can see me using that combo sometime soon!), and I love the flowered strip and the polka dots! It's a LOVELY card!

How neat and sweet Lorie! I just love the teapot and cup! Well done with the green and purple. I love newsprint too. Fine case of the Queen's inspiring card. tfs hugsxo
P.S. I am currently reading Ford County by John Grisham. It's a series of 6 short stories that happens in Ford County. I am running after time myself, so I can get away with reading them about 30 to 50 pages at a time. I love the way he writes.
