Today's Teapot Challenge cards are being sent to Linda, zgirlsgranny here at SCS, who doesn't have much energy to stamp after chemo treatments. Linda has so many hobbies and loves spending time with her granddaughters. Hers seems like such a happy home so I chose a house surrounded by one of her hobbies, flowers.
I read last week about no one using eyelets anymore and then saw there was a challenge using eyelets so I just had to add eyelets to the center of my flowers. The red striped SU ribbon just seems to be be an endless roll!!

I know what you mean about that ribbon....and I bought 2 rolls of them! Silly me! I see what you mean that we had the same idea with the eyelets. I think they look wonderful as a flower center, and I plan to use them more often since I have a kazillion of them! I like your little house surrounded by the flowers and the dp behind them too~

Not sure if I'm the one who said something about eyelets, but I have a case full of them, and I'm glad to see them being used (although I planned to do that challenge and haven't yet). They look great in your flowers.

What a great fun card! I love your eyelet-studded flowers, so raspberries to whoever said that no one uses them...giggle! I love your idea of bringing a happy home for Linda, it is just so perfect for her Teaparty. Thanks for coming this week...make sure to grab your duckie cookies before Sherman Potter steals them all.
