On the Teapot Tuesday Challenge, you never know what you are going to encounter. This week we are playing with cards or things involved with cards or bridges or bridges built with cards... or something like that.
I didn't want to take a card out of my card decks as I am pretty sure DH would notice (you know I steal things from all over the house to make cards and he isn't too happy about that). My daughter said he probably wouldn't notice if I took a card out of our Apples to Apples game, so I did. I thought it made sense to use a card with the word Sweet on it given the destination station is one sweet lady!!!! Impressive and inspiring is all I can say.
My DD (Crystal) and her boyfriend (Joey) made the flowers for this. I taught her last week and she taught him this week. It was so fun making this together last night - a memory I will cherish forever.

What a precious memory - Crystal and Joey both helping punch out and make flowers with you to make this SWEET card!! Glad you opted for the apples to apples card to play it safe!! I bet Kenny would have been on the warpath if you started to swipe his playing cards!!!! Love this twist you took with this card to honor Rita ans all the wonderful "carding" she does - you don't do so bad yourself, Sister!! LYMI!! you know that, right?

Perfect description of Rita, I'm sure. But won't you miss this card in Apples to Apples. We would at our house. That game has become a family favorite. Great card.
