It is time again for Mothermark's Tea Party and this week we are grounded.....except me that is as I am have to fly to get there!!! As you can see it is all about cats this week, and chefs and POT LUCK - we all bring a dish to share - skeery!! Well Dar-r-r-lings as an animal lover I am thrilled to have such adorable creatures amongst us....I managed to sneak this Group Photo out of the Party so those of you who aren't able to attend can see what is going on - what a gorgeous crowd of gals - can you pick 'who is who' - I am not sure but I think that Peggy is there trying to disguise herself as Tigger, Mothermark is there too - now dar-r-r-lings, which one could she possibly be - I think I caught a glimpse of Marilynn!?! What about Dawn and that fire carrying cat of hers, really Dar-r-r-lings - have you ever heard of such a thing....the things people do to get noticed - you wouldn't catch someone of my 'breeding' doing that - LOL!!
...Ooops, there seems to have been a mishap with my little Kitty on the wall...oh no - she has knocked over her cup of tea...or...is she being pulled from behind by Darla who is at her first Tea Party, surely not..Darla is so sweet....no I think it might be Shirley whose C-O-O-L cats with their shade,s thought they had stolen the show, but honestly Dar-r-r-lings, their heads had swelled so BIG that we couldn't fit them in the photo...poor babies, but what is a girl to do!!! I am not really sure who would do something so terrible...I do know they may have their 'noses out of joint' by the gorgeous CAT sticker that was sent to me in a RAK from by Twisted Sister Judy Kell - how adorable it is ( I think it may have been for my DD's - opps!! Sorree!! LOL!) As you can see each of these 'Tea Party' Babes has signed this card with a special little footprint, could be worth BIG $$'s in years to come...but for now it certainly qualifies for the Our Creative Corner Challenge and the CCEEC - how exciting Dar-r-r-lings...it is party central here!!!
Also made this card for the 2RedBananas Sketch Challenge this week....I have seen from the photo that I didn't define the corners as I had intended...but have done since the photo...so hopefully it will still sneak into that challenge Dar-r-r-lings - that would be purr-r-r-fect!!!
Well, I am off to mingle and see exactly what POT LUCK means in America - I am thinking on this occasion it might mean it is POT LUCK if you get anything!!! LOL!

Okee Dokee Smokee! I will tell you which one I am! I am the black one, on the far right. And ain't nobody leaving this group shot until I find out who STOLE my white polka dots! Just cuz our air fare didn't get paid, what? Someone thought hey could sell my polka dots to some unsuspecting polka dotless cat? Not gonna happen cuz nobody, and I say nobody, is getting off this card with my polka dots!!
I saw this card in the main gallery this morning with the spilled tea and the rowdy cats and there was no question it was a tea potters! Hee! And the pawprints are CCEE all the way! You did as many challenges with this cards as there are cats! Giggle!
Your card is so fun! What precious images of each and everyone and the color you put to them is awesome! It's Lovely Linda! Thanks for flying while grounded! Hee!

Wow girl! That's alot of challenges! COOL!
Love the kittie image, no I didn't make it in the picture, Tigger keeps bouncing around to much, I asked Judy's cat to move over and leave the warm tub for me. Now I know that there was not only water in there, but gee, the strong liquor smell almost blew me away! So now...hick...I wil be....yawn...be dozing off. I locked the door so if anyone needs to go, you still have Brat's tea cup! LOL
Good to see you made it, no food huh. Guess it's through the back door with you then. Don't worry, that's where I came in too, because of who do you think???

Lol! I love that 'Judy Kell' sticker! What a fine looking bunch of critters they are! Potluck? It's like a Lolly Jar, anything can go in it! lol! Google- it's always there for us, isn't it? Sorry you had to be the one to travel this week, but was'nt it worth the trip? You got to meet Tigger in person, and see some new countryside. Adorable Linda.

What a wonderful group portrait, something to hand down the generations with all those signatures. I am sure you used a self-timer, so I am wondering which one is you, Linda? That little white one looks like a real pedigree kitty. But what a cats chorus, I think I'd better borrow DH's earplugs to get a bit of peace and quiet.
