This is my card for today's ways to use it challenge. The challenge was to make a card using something in your spice cabinet or kitchen.
This is my story!
1. You wonder about the title of my card? Well, I spent over an hour this morning trying to build an igloo out of sugar cubes for Peter the Penquin whom was created specifically for this new dwelling!
2. I suppose I am not a builder as I failed miserably and pretty much got sick of dealing with sugar all over my stamping counter and scrapped the whole idea.
3. Peter is a little sad as he was looking forward to a new home but he'll just have to live with Mom and Dad until something else pans out!
4. So, that brought be back down to the kitchen with very little time to throw something together.
5. I made this card in about 30 minutes. Yikes! Coulda done a better job probably but oh well.....
6. I got this cute little tea-pot cork board at Joanne's for a buck and the awesome little acrylic pocket box can be found at:

This is very cute, I thought of tea too. Sorry to hear about the sugar cube fiasco...but if Peter would like a dwelling he is more then welcome to my cinnamon stick cabin, I can just add a little snow and it would be perfect!

Cindy this is wonderful. I used tea too. I didn't gaze the gallery before I created. So great minds were thinking alike. This card is fantastic. I love the tea bags. They are so pretty and go so well with your cs. Love the teapot. Awesome card. Although I really would have liked to see the igloo. Maybe give it a try again. Great idea..
