LORDY LORDY, LOOK WHO's FORTY! Why it's Mothermark's Teapot Tuesday Challenge celebrating teapot number 40! Though technically this is probably only 36 or something, because she is famous for including Not Pots, and other unTeapots but she DOES throw a good party!
Since I am 2 days late, I decided to make a boa of the flower (not the snake or feather) variety, so that I could still make a grand entrance. I Versamarked the flowers so they looked like glass and started cutting them, and THEN realized it was not the best idea I have ever had...so that is why the BUTTERFLY is so small! My hands and eyes hurt too much by then, hee! Off to see the havoc I missed at the party on Tuesday!

LOL.... you were suppose to keep them there sissy flowers off your card. I think I feel some hives coming on.... Flowers..That is alot of cutting. You poor thing. I told you them there flowers are nothing but a pain. Love your butterfly. She has a great little trail. You certainly will be the show at the party with all those flowers around yer neck... Stay on the other side of that room.
Seriously. Great job Kelly. I was worried you were not coming. Super cutting. Yikes. You need a flower punch...

Love your card with the boa and the piercing. I like how those flowers look like glass. You go girl, in that boa. Whew, after cutting all those flowers, I hope you aren't too tired to "party on". I have to confess, I did borrow your husband's camo, but I don't think he will want them back now that I have put rhinestones on them. If I am lucky, maybe he won't miss them.

Hey, you are not supposed to be keeping track! (of the un-pots!) There is always one in the group that is....well, shall we say, anal? Snort!
You worked hard! That is why I am gonna excuse you for being late. Your card is wonderful! That is why I am gonna excuse you for being anal! Your butterfly is dizzy from doing so many spins! That is why I am gonna introduce you to your favorite stars at this fancy schmancy event! Your boa is not a snake and does not tickle my nose! That is why I am gonna invite you to every tea party I ever have! FROM NOW TILL THE END OF TIME!!!!!
Here is a summary of the havoc!
Clint Eastwood picks his nose and flicks it on the carpet!
Marilynn spilled chocolate pudding on her card but not really!
One of the tea potters tripped on her dress and fell off the red carpet!
The papparazzi was snapping pictures and making fun of her!
Another tea potter came to her defense and smeared chocolate pudding all over his lense.
The papparazzi is threatening a law suit!
I probably won't pay the body guards cuz all they did all night was stand around looking good, I think that should be no charge!
We had some new guests but they are friends of old guests so they were expecting the worst!
Bad Charlie told The Ministers Wife he could not come, but came behind her back to meet Minnie Mouse!

Oh my goodness Kelly!! I bet you are still recovered from all of that cutting!! Nonetheless - good for you for creating the boa in Honour of Mothermark's 40 Teapot!! You really went all out with this one!! Just lovely!! Okay. methinks I'm going to have to look further into this entire tea party shenanigan now that I have read that Clint Eastwood picked his nose and flicked it on the carpet!!!! What to make of that........... I do not know!! but if there is a related card somewhere in the teapot challenge...... I must see it!! ;)

Kelly, Kelly, Kelly......you finally made it to the party a few days late. I am finally getting around to seeing what a very pretty card you stole in order to get in the front door! lol Okay, you probably made this beauty yourself, cutting out all those tiny flowers! Your poor nimble fingers. Love your paper pierce butterfly trail and the little butterfly. This is one heck of a card my friend. Love it! TFS :0)
