I'm so "tickled" to be the guest hostess for this week's Teapot Challenge. It was fun to stroll down memory lane. Every time I see blueberries, I think about the "field". During a recent trip to Maine, I found a piece of bark from a birch tree and knew that I had to add it to my card. Thanks for taking the journey with me!

Wow, Denise the layers of blueberries in the basket make me yearn for blueberry pancakes, they look so vibrant! The embossed base and layer of real birch add further to the organic feel of your beautiful card. Love it!

Oh wow, I love this and even more knowing it has an original piece of bark on there. The gingham now adds to your blueberry basket. Awesome. TFS. Happy day

What an amazing card! I loved reading your story about Miss Warren and her sister! Such a wonderful memory! The birch bark piece is so cool on this fabulous card! The blueberries look ready to eat!

The basket looks as yummy as those berries! When we were in ME every year at my Great Aunt's in Wells, we would go "berrying", and what I remember most are the bug bites that lasted longer than the blueberries! Thanks for a fun tickle, mf!

Just lately, (the last two years) I have gone to a U-pick field to pick my own blueberries. Then I get to enjoy them for many months. I eat some fresh, and freeze some for baked goods. Your blueberry stamps are so nice! Love your layout, the embossing, the beautiful coloring and basket, and the birch bark!

What country charm with the rustic basket full of sweet berries, and the delightful little gingham bow. The embossed background is perfectly in keeping - and what fun to have incorporated an extra memory along with that birch bark. Thank you for such a fun challenge this week.
