This card is for Teapot Tuesday & heading out to Brenda.
I love the blue & white of the teapot & had my card planned out exactly in my head. Head & hands went in completely different directions & as my frustration & the scrap heap grew I decided to go with this old stand-by stamp. Nothing like what I thought I'd submit but the best this day held for me. I do have flowers, butterflies & while the sentiment isn't exactly Scripture, it is a truthful & encouraging phrase, I think. Enjoy!

Brenda will Just LOVE this prettiness. I know what you mean tho. I have days like that too. I also loved the blues on the t-pot and was thinking of going that route, but then the dp I ended up using ...it just didnt quite work that way so it went a whole dif. route too. No worries tho, here this is so pretty. Love that old stamp you used so cheery and lacy...wonderful job...:0)...TFS

I think that often those cards that have a mind of their often turn out the best! That's a fabulous image, and I love the textured background and the spotted scalloped background.
