It looks like I'll be heading for the back door this week. I didn't do a snowy scene, nor golf, nor lots of trees. This week our cards are going to a fellow Teapotter, ConnieJo9, that has recently had knee surgery.
I brought a little village
where you can smell the fresh air
It's far away from Clover the cow
and her hay filled lair.
The grass is green
and the houses are clean.
It's summer up in this high meadow
the flowers are blooming
and I'm feeling mellow.
I'm sending this wish to a Tepotter fellow,
wishing you well and walking again
with only memories of that darn knee pain.
Here's to hoping your up and at 'em
in no time at all,
Golfing and snowboarding and
having a ball!
This cute little row of houses are from and old Validated stamp. I stamped it first onto the white and then each house onto scraps of colored c/s and cut out. Then adhered over original stamped image, with either tape or 2 different thicknesses of dimensional adhesive.
The sky is chalked and the little birds are sewn on.
I put a house on the envie too!
Connie, I hope you are back on your feet ASAP!

Jennifer, that is a wonderful poem and I love your cute little group of row houses!! The back door is where all the fun people hang out, no doubt trying to score cookies from the Mudder!

Hey, I didn't think of sewing my birdies on! You da man! I mean da teapotter! Awesome! Oh, this is so the teapot! Okay, so you have to come in the backdoor, what's so wrong with that! As a matter of fact, so many teapotters are coming in the back door, I think its time we flip the house around...front is back, back is front! Snort!
This card rocks Jennifer! Con-Air will be loving it! What a happy little scene!

Glad you brought some houses, we need more room for all 42,000 teapotters. Love your scene and the birds in your trees are the perfect touch!

with a card as pretty as this you are coming in the front door. I'll even hold it open for you. You brought trees and birds to serenade Connie. Very lovely card!
