1. This is one of my favorite teapots. What an easy card! The reason it's one of my favorites is that my son gave it to me as a gift. He and his room-mate pretty much drove all around town together in search of teapots for little old me! I am sure it was pretty embarrassing for a couple of 22 year-olds who have much more on their social calendar than spending time hunting teapots!!
2. When I first saw this teapot I thought River Rock! Hee! And although I had used almost all of mine, I was able to get my hands on a few scraps, enough to make this card! I have to admit that whenever I get gifts of any kind, I usually immediately start thinking about how I can re-create the gift in a card! Yikes, I am sick! Sick , I tell ya! Sick!!!
3. I used some Cuttlebug dies to cut the large flower petals and a small oval punch to make the small white petals. I punched them in an oval and then sorta just cut them into the more pointy shapes. I can't believe how much I use my punches. One day I am gonna have to admit that I am a paper crafter, not a stamper! But for now, I will continue to act like and pretend that I am a stamper! Snort!

This is a fun one. I need to think about it... Great job on this one. I think that is so cute that those two were out hunting down a pot for you. Hugs...back to play later. (I checked early this morning and didn't see a pot card. I was worried then remembered we are on opposite ends of the states.. It was too early for you..)

You're a paper crafter,
You're a paper crafter,
watching all the stampers go by...
You're a paper crafter,
You're a paper crafter,
No need to cry
You're a paper crafter,
And, yes, you're a stamper,
Your talent knows no bounds
You're a paper crafter,
And, yes, you're a stamper,
Can't you just hear the cheering sounds
Of all of those who admire you
Yes, you're a paper crafter
And, yes, you're a stamper
Both of these you really do!!
Love your pretty teapot and card, Dirty Gertie! Sorry that Bertie broke out in song, again. Some days I just can't control her. She didn't do so good today, but she insisted on writing this anyway. :-)
I LOVE your teapot and Tuesday card, Cindy!!!! Your son did a great job picking it out, I wonder if he knew what fabulous inspiration it would provide! TFS!!!
