This is the card I made for today's Featured Stamper Challenge! Ardodd (Ann) is the most deserving Featured Stamper today. This is the awesome card I chose to case!
This is my story!
1. I love Ann! She is a most valued regular attendee at Teapot Tuesday's and she sure makes a *mean* card! Congrats, Ann!
2. In order for my card to make sense you really need to take a look at Ann's card! Last week's Teapot Tuesday was hosted by Sabrina (cook22). We were looking for big, bad bears and since Sabrina is from Ireland, I am thinkin' we were tea-partying in an Irish Forest! (Remember, its a make believe thing!)
3. Well, Ann's story was that Mr. Big Bad Bear brought a supply of honey to go with the tea at the party but I question that whole scenario! Where is the tea? Where are the other teapotters? Nope, me thinks he just spent another outa control night in the Irish Forest satisfying his addiction to honey!
4. It's the pits when you grow up with an addicted to honey Bear Dad! Every morning you wake up and Dad's gone missing. Mom says he's out hunting to provide for the family but the cubs know better. He's just in the forest somewhere sleeping off the previous night's honey high!
Don't you just love a bear cub with an Irish Accent?

Cindy, an incredible and very creative tribute to Ardodd. I'm sure she will keep this card for always just as I've kept the one you made for me. You bring joy to so many stampers with your tribute cards, I hope you never give that up. WOW!!!

This challenge seems more complete with your story and card. Welcome back, Cindy. how fitting that you could incorporate the tea party in this tribute.
Just adorable with all those little heads peaking over the edge.

My day is complete! A card from the one and only Mothermark! I have SO missed your stories and fun cards! This is one fantastic card! There are those trademark Mothermark clouds in this very pretty forrest. So sorry, tho, that these darling cubs are without their father. You never can trust those big bear types- hogging all the honey and not coming home at night! Thanks Cindy for being here today and wishing you a wonderful 2010! Hugs!

Oh yeah. I hear you about those bad boy Honey Bear Dads. Mebbe we should send Gertie and Bertie out on the trail to set him right. Will the real Honey Bear Dad please stand up? Giggle.
So cute and clever and a fab scene. So frickin' FANTABULOUS to have your wild and wacky sense of humor back in the galleries regaling us with tales only your mind can so creatively weave!
