1. I made this card with inspiration from one of my teapots for a challenge I am hosting on my blog called Teapot Tuesday! You can see just the card in my next picture.
2. This teapot is one that my friend Judy Beghtol gave me for my birthday years ago. It's so cool, huh!
3. I figured since we can't all get together in person and have tea in the mid-morning, we might as well make cards together!
4. I have a thing for teapots and as a result have a collection of some really cool ones. This idea started when I made a card for an inspiration challenge where we were to pick something in our house to fashion a card after and of course I picked a teapot. It was a giraffe teapot and the card I made a card I sent it to a fellow SCSer that collects giraffes!
5. I plan on posting a teapot on my blog every Tuesday and making a card inspired by that teapot. There are no rules, no requirements, no deadlines just take a look at the teapot and join me in the fun!

It's just amazing how you are able to recreate these teapots into your cards, Cindy! Those grapes are so luscious looking and your leaves are beautiful!

Wow, another beautiful rendition of a real live teapot...and I know Judy too! This is such a pretty and fall colored teapot...and your card captures the crisp colors, vining, and plump little grapes. You rock as always Cindy!!

What a great teapot, I love the color and the grapes on it. Your card is wonderful and represent the teapot perfectly.
I'm been keeping all of you Teapot challenges in a special file and look at it quite often. Girl you rally should activate the comment section of your blog then I wouldn't have to hunt the card down to comment. I'm being lazy, sorry. LOL
Personally I hope you never run out of teapots because I really enjoy seeing what your genius mind will come up with for the next one.
