My friend, Mothermark hosts a challenge every Tuesday on her blog called Teapot Tuesday where she posts one of the teapots from her collection to inspire us. Look here: http://mothermark.blogspot.com/searc...uesday%20Cards
This is the story of my card. I started with the base of the card pretty much the way it looks now but I had these cute 3-D Mary Engelbreit holiday stickers from michaels. I bought them a few weeks ago with the intention of making holiday gift tags but they seemed perfect for this teapot challenge as Mothermark's teapot was a Mary Engelbreit. I layered and ribboned and centered and well the sticker was not perfect at all. As a matter of fact the card looked ridiculous. So apart it came and in its place came the snowman and holiday sentiment. So it started as a card resembling Mothermark's teapot. My card still has black and pale yellow and dots, right? Cindy probably won't care that I'm a long way from her teapot now as she usually has a story or two of her own. Hope you like it anyway! Have a great evening!

I love your little snowman. I loved the story behind your card. My card came apart several times before I was happy with it. Don't you love coming to the teaparty no matter what?
