1. I don't really have any Thanksgiving tea pots but I chose this one as its the closest one I have to looking Fall like or Thankgiving like. I got this teapot with birthday money one year.
2. My card got totally out of control and ended up being one of my signature "large" cards. Oh well, what's a stamper to do? You can see both the teapot and the card in my other picture.
3. I had curled strips of paper all over my work area yesterday trying to find the perfect curls. Finally after dinking around with them for what seemed like forever I just had to settle for some less than perfect curls. Cardstock does not curl as nicely as curling ribbon does! Maybe you already knew that! Why didn't you tell me that before I spent hours trying to get the perfect curls? Snort!
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 I sent to a fellow SCSer that collects giraffes!
5. I will post a teapot on my blog every Tuesday and make 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!
You can find challenge details and the rest of my Teapot Tuesday cards on my glob:

Amazing! Is there any other word? I love teapots as well. I don't collect them, but love them. I have family in England. A great resource for teapots. I just love your creativity. Beautiful.

Love your teapots & your teapot cards. Great idea to use them as inspiration. I bought a bunch of teapot stamps & then never used them...maybe it's time to get them out. Thanks for the nudge in that direction.
