This week's Teapot Tuesday Challenge was to bring items to help decorate the Bat Cave (as in Batman - choose your poison when it comes to which Batman evidently - I like the original personally but we teaparty gals are all over the board on this one) for Aunt BeBatrice's inspection, um... I mean visit. The "Cave" needs a little sprucing up.
I brought some flowers and pretty wall paper - I also brought a graduating mouse named Maxwell - he can teach all the bats and mice to behave during the inspection/visit.
I need several graduation cards. I was a Youth Group leader at church for 5 years and this is for Carol Anne who started in our group when she was in 7th grade and now she is graduating. I have watched her grow up since she was about 5 years old. I am very interested to see what she chooses to do because she has so much potential!
I have to admit I kind of cased Pat Smether's HM graduation Easel card she made this past weekend - Pat always has the best ideas!
PT - 1 measly little punch

This is SO cute. I love all those papers too.
How fun! Don't you think people might wonder with batman wearing tights and all those flowers around the cave?

What a fantastic grad card, totally adorable. And this is me, who doesn't like the House Mice!! Who'd have thunk that Cindy's choice of the Bat Cave as the party location this week would have worked so well for people needing graduate cards.

Okay, this'll bring a smile to a graduate! Maxwell is precious but don't let his sweet and adorable look fool ya! I hear ihe is world renound for bat round-ups which by the way is something I did not really realize we needed for our teaparty in the Bat Cave. Nancy to the rescue!
This is so precious.....What a good job you did..That Pat was most definately addicted to easel cards for a time wasn't she! You know me...I love the background paper! Whoo Hoo! So glad to see you here!

Love your HM grad card! Very well done - and that you could make it work for the tea party too is a real bonus! And hey, a punch is a punch!

Great card! I love the little house-mouse (do mice get along with bats??) and the papers will certainly brighten up the batcave and not be too frilly and feminine for the "boys"!
