Wow, sometimes knowing someone personally, makes the challenge harder for some reason - Here is the story for this week's teaparty! my card is a mixture of Twilight (which I know NOTHING about,) and a little joke that the family has had for a long time about Amy loving spaghetti and meatballs - the challenge for me was how to tie them together - I was supposed to have this done YESTERDAY for Cindy and I am such a slacker, I just finished it! This is the outside - see the inside here: MMTPT181 for Amy, TSC by irishgreensue at Splitcoaststampers
My card, like Mutnik's, has to be explained, I am afraid! We all knew of Amy's love of Twilight and Edward, how she thinks about him - just like Bella - and how she would love to impress him (That's where the dress came from, first off - I know - it makes no sense at all - read on!) Well, my idea was that Amy figured, "Chuck all that, I will just give him spaghetti and meatballs, and that will work" You see, Amy LOVES spaghetti and meatballs, so in my twisted mind, that means she could win Edward over - Oh well, a poor attempt, but I did try!! Hope she gets a giggle out of the chef showing up with the goods!
Thanks to all for sending cards to cheer her up - she is almost stabilized enough to come home, thank God!! will keep you up to date as I hear more!!

Hee hee! I love that you went with the crazy moon teapot! I can so see that teapot in the skeery tree......You are like me, coming up with spagetti and meatballs in the same paragraph as Twilight, impossible! Ha! This is an awesome card and how special that you made two! Thanks so much for bringing Amy to our attention Sue. I hope these cards bring her many smiles!

I know what you mean about doing cards for someone you know. I am having the same issue with a friend who is ill.
But you certainly did a great job of bringing in all the personal type things - and your card is so well done. I really like the branches over the moon.
