1. After last week's teapot challenge, I pretty much went to my teapot collection desperately needing to find the simplest teapot there! And this is it! Plus I wanted to do another Valentine's Teapot. I have two Valentine's teapots so this is all she wrote!
2. After last week's teapot challenge, the photographer looked at this card when he came upstairs to take the photo and proceeded to say. This really is not very special! One of those in one ear and out the other moments!
3. After last week's teapot challenge, I thought I could make a teapot card fast if the teapot was simple! But since that challenge I found out I am a slow card maker! The little swirleys at the bottom of the hearts gave me fits! First I drew them in, hated them! Then I curled little strips of paper, hated them! Then I searched high and low for any kind of die I might have that would work, found one, hated them! So, I am ashamed to say, this teapot card is swirleyless! Oh my gosh, can you imagine! Hope I don't get kicked out of the cardmaking industry, banned and forever prohibited from another hand made card! Yikes!
If you would like to join me at the teaparty you can get all of the details and see the rest of the Teapot Tuesday cards visit my blog:

What a sweetheart for Dawn to send you that heart. It was perfect for the teapot. Swirls are overrated. Great choice of teapots for this week. I think the weather is going to be better and more people can make the teaparty!!

This is very pretty, sometimes to preserve our sanity it is good to keep it simple as you found out the hard way. But nonetheless, this is truly a sweet card Cindy. I have yet to make mine. Love your teapot too. TFS
