It's Tickle a Teapotter Time! And Sabrina has challenged us to make Easel cards. She was kind enough to provide suggestions and links for tutorials and I chose to make a Calendar Easel card. It was so easy and fun and really cute. I'm thinking teachers' Christmas gifts next year...
I also love the paint/art theme, so I could use this little Tiddly Inks artist and the new paint palette stamp set that I found at Tuesday Morning. It's pretty neat. It has four stamps that you stamp in cyan, magenta, yellow, and black and it makes a painter's palette. I ran out of room, so it's pretty covered up by my artist. She's me, by the way. Some lucky teapotter gets to look at a miniature Jen all year long! LOL. I colored her in my colors and she's holding a card that she made. It had a heart on it, but we all know I rarely use hearts, so I put a little orange teacup on the card instead. I also got this DP from my first trip to Tuesday Morning in MN with Polly. Sure, it looks like coffee cups, but it's totally tea in there. And, because this is a special Teapotter's calendar, I colored in the last Tuesday of every month :0)
Happy last day of 2019, dear friends! I wish you all lots of love, happiness, and good health in 2020!

Yes, that's a great tutorial, I remember liking it when I tried it - and it would make super teacher gifts. Your little artist is so cute with all those pigtails keeping her hair out of the paint (I hope!). Love your background paint stamp - I'm sure we'll get to see that one again - as well as plenty more of your cards . I think it's super-fun that you've highlighted the last Tuesday of each month.

I need to transfer some money into Sabrina's bank account.......little Jen looks like she would love it here in Australia. Seriously Jen this is one of the cutest "Tickle a Teapotter" creations I have ever, ever seen.
