We are leaving for Hershey Park early in the morning.... I couldn't stand the idea of missing a Tea Party, so I prepared ahead of time.... I made a little something Yummy for all the Ladies that will be attending this week.... Now Betie, Please share nicely with the others.... but if you can't, that is ok, more Chocolate when I return!
I got a little carried away with this card... as you can see. I had the candy bar in the corner, and it just overpowered the card (I didn't have the little miniature bars... and no time to go shopping for the tea party this week) so I just kept adding stuff to it to try to balance it all out. Then I figured, what the heck, this is a Tea Party card... so what if it is "Over the Top"... right? Anything goes at the tea party. This was the first time I inked up Yummy.. and it was fun! The background is embossed with versamark using the stampin around Joy of Spring.
So I hope you all have fun at the tea party. I can't wait to see what Cindy Posts this week, tea pot card, story, etc.....I will be checking my blackberry while on the roller coasters to see what all the lovely party girls post!

AAAACCCK!!! Maureen, you are my new bestest buddy! I was so desperately in need of a chocolate fix this morning, and here you are to the rescue! I promise to share....really.....it's kinda cool how the candy bar is pre-scored in those little squares. I think I can divvy up one of those squares fairly with the other tea partiers, don't you? Snort!
Your card is spectacular and yummylicious and has totally activated my saliva glands! I hope you're having a wonderful time in Hershey!

Hey Maureen! We are heading your way. We are bring the tea party to Hershey. Hope they have a light show there! I hope we don't embarrass you in front of your family! Just pull me off to the side if that's the case and I will get things calmed down! Hee!
Your card is precious and how appropriate for today! Don't believe Bertie, she will have that chocolate consumed by the time she clicks submit! Yikes! I thought she liked M & M's anyway, wassup with that! How nice of you to bring chocolate to the party! Thanks for coming without coming! Snort! We most definately woulda missed you!
Please check your BB after the roller coaster ride. You need to hand on girlfriend!!

Wow...what can I say....this is a really a great card and made me stop and look at all the interesting parts...the double ribbon...!!! the fold back...Maureen I just love it...and of course my eyes are drawn straight to the choc bar. mmmmmm good...just like the rest of the card. I am glad I am related...and when you come home I will be there...for the choc you bring home....I am not sure Bertie will share!! I know she loves choc...but when I was young and I had to share with my brother...(so many years ago) my dad would say..One cuts the candy and the other gets to pick first. So be careful Bertie...when you cut that bar up for sharing. Thanks Maureen for the beautiful card. Love you forever
Mom xoxox see you when you get home.

Sorry Charlie I mean Maureen, but Bertie will have to deal with me if I get to that over-sized Hershey bar first! Beware, I picked up a few moves from the Sumo wrestler guys. NOT.....don't worry, I wont be causing any REAL problems this week. No ser re. I got a blind side tackle last week, so I will be behaving. LOL.... NOT....if I can help it! This card is just over the top yummy! You sure put a winner together here. Have fun at Hershey Park, what ever the heck that is. Think of us teapot partiers often. TFS :0)

Aw, how sweet of you to leave some refreshements for us even though you won't be here. And of course over the top is fine - even normal at these parties, I think. Mind you, what with Yummy for your Tummy and a minute on the lips, lifetime on the hips, I have mixed messages going on in my mind.
Have a wonderful holiday - and keep looking at the Blackberry for when you are NOT on the roller-coaster, LOL.

Love this cute card and your Hershey bar. I am so glad you got to go to Hershey Park and here we are joining you. I have to snitch on Charlene, she didn't share that Hershey bar with me.

Maureen, I think the reason Cindy moved the teaparty is she knew that Bertie just couldn't share!! But you better watch out for the bugs that were drawn to the light. The ants heard that there was a jumbo chocolate bar and they brought the whole army to try and make off with it. Don't worry, the teaparty ladies will fight them off. I hope you and the kids have a great time and that you don't have to be in lines too long!!

This is terrific! I love the candy bar and all the cool details! Not over the top at all - it's perfect for this rowdy bunch of teapartiers! Have fun at Hershey Park!

Absolutely adorable..love all the things on it..Especially the candy bar, love the flowers, and the really neat dp and the way you folded the corner (clever girl) and to stick with the same color theme as the candy bar. Right down to the brown and white ribbon and brown brad. Just darling.. I'm from MN so had to ask Cindy what Hershey Park was...u'd of thought with Park on there i could of figured it out my self....
