It's Tickle a Teapotter Time and I've got a Mad Hatter to help. Our inspiration was to be centered on a favorite childhood toy or the teapot pictured in the challenge. I "stretched" it a bit. My favorite pastime as a child and adult is reading! The tea party from Alice in Wonderland became my inspiration.
Printed out Unbirthday song on parchment paper, stenciled swirls with pastel chalks. Stamped, colored and fussy cut image and mounted on die cut book. Printed sentiment and mounted on adorable teapot die cut from Sharon (thank you again!!). Had loads of fun with this. TFL

Cute card featuring a character from out of the looking glass. I think your theme is perfect since you were and are such a book lover. I like how you used the pages die behind your Mad Hatter.

It's a great choice, Carla! When I was a child I had a mobile that my dad had made, with all sorts of different characters from favourite books, and there were several from Alice. The book-shaped panel is perfect to set the Mad Hatter against.

What a great inspired tea party this would be! Love the idea of the 'un' birthday. Always a reason to celebrate. Love your lyrical background and the mad hatter image. You've coloured it perfectly!
