Okay, I admit it - I am stretching things a bit this week, both with the title and the TeaPot challenge - found here: MMTPT144 ~ I'M LATE! I'M LATE! FOR A VERY IMPORTANT! SORRY WILL AND KATE! by Mothermark at Splitcoaststampers
The challenge is to help Realtor Rose find the new digs for the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. Well, I have to uphold my reputation as an RVer (even though we are actually in a house right now...shhh...). There are not too many of these airstreams around any more, so I was looking for a bit of nostalgia and some VERY cozy quarters... Wonder if it will work? And the image covered up most of the roses I found on the DP. Oh well, I tried LOL!
THe sketch is here (#10) - the image and DP have been in my possession for ages and I have not used them recently, so that is my old stash. The scallop punch is quite new, as is the fancy cream colored paper under the image. http://www.sketchandstashchallenge.blogspot.com/

Wills and Kate's wedding must have cost even more than we all figured, poor things are now going to have to live in a trailer! This is a super cute idea and indeed many have a trailer for a cottage.

OMGoodness . . . does this bring back memories! I spent summers in an Airstream (and then an Argosy - or the other way around) trailer while I was growing up! We lived at the lake for the summer! You really created this beautifully - I love it!

Ha ha! Hey, now, you do realize that the Duke and Duchess really do wanna live like normal folk.....and even though an airstream is the cadillac of RV's (I just made that up!) this is a pretty normal folk kinda home! I do think its fit for a King, I mean Duke! What fun Dorothy! You did good! I think Realtor Rose is getting her memory back...yes, she remembers silver...lots of shiny silver! Whoot!
Love it, very creative and fun! I see flower on the inside too!

What fun! I haven't seen one of these airstreams in long time. Growing up, we had an older couple next door who had one in their driveway a lot of the time. Super card!

You don't need a house to call a place a "home"! What a cute image to bring to the tea party. I just love it. I used to be an RV'er too! It is so much fun. Thanks for showing us your dynamite card!
