This is my card for this week's Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge (MMSC81) and the Teapot Tuesday Challenge (MMTPT121). The elaborate sketch is lovely, but I need to figure out how to get a giant flower or something similar to achieve it so I went with a combination of the elaborate sketch and the CAS version of the sketch.
The Teapotters are off to London again (btw, Cindy, I thought we were banned from London - didn't we get kicked out last year when we went?). The visit to London last year was my first Teapot Tuesday party and it was a wild one! We are distracting all the Londoners for a week - having teaparties and doing all kinds of crazy stuff so they won't notice we are secretly fixing a bridge some of our friends built a little crooked and shaky (we are also trying to distract them from the 42,000 helpers we brought to fix it). Us teaparters are good at distractions. I tried to introduce them to ice tea as you can see from this snapshot, but only 2 of them showed up. They are having a marvelous time though - I hope the rest of you are distracting the other 3 million people in the city (boy, after this story, I hope we are in London England and not London Ohio - anyway, distract away girls and I will try to round up a few more Londoners to drink some ice tea). Oh, did I mention this is Long Island Ice Tea? I thought that would distract them more than regular Ice Tea..........

Is that us Nancy? Do I really look that thin and curvy? Looks like we both do. All that punchin' has really paid off even without Bearzi's exercise punch video that none of us has received. We can certainly "pig out" now!! Such a fun and cute card and captured 2 challenges while you were at it. Love your border punches, cute image and those pearl hearts are to die for. I haven't seen any of them 'round these here partz. Another thing for me to search endlessly for! When will it ever end??? Great job Nancy!! TFS!
