I have been following Mothermark's blog for many months. She, like myself, has a thing for teapots. I can't tell you how many teapots I have in my collection. I am also an avid tea drinking. Cindy posted a shout out for cards for a friend of hers that is ill with cancer. Being a cancer survivor myself (skin cancer two times), I felt compelled to do the challenge. You can find Cindy's blog here: http://mothermark.blogspot.com/
I just love their layouts.... think it has to do with my nickname being Mo and my husband's name is Joe? Nah.. they are just real nice easy to work with layouts.
I hope Kim likes my card! I think I fell in love with this card... has that ever happened to anyone else?

Your card is the perfect feel better card. Especially like how you did your sentiment. Glad you shared Karen's card with the tea party women. Hope you will come back next week.

This is so pretty. I really like the ribbon and trim that you used on your card. I like how you cut a piece of that striped dp to put on the bottom of the one panel. I am glad you joined us for the teaparty. I hope you join us again.

I love this--it's so soft and vintage-looking, I know it will bring comfort and cheer. I love everything tea as well--teapots, teacups, tearooms, tea parties! Thanks for sharing.
