1. I made this card with inspiration from one of my Halloween Teapots. I wish I could remember who bought this teapot for me, maybe I did! Darn CRS disease! I decided to use one of my Halloween teapots his week cuz I have been seeing lots of Halloween cards pop up in the gallery recently!
2. 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!
3. 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!
4. 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!
5. Yikes! My card is bigger than my Teapot! Why is it when you are cutting out the pieces to make up your card they look like they would fit on a card and then when you go to put it all together you end up needing a tag board to mount it to. Snort! Maybe that is a *Mothermark* thing!

I just don't know how you can make these cards that look identical to the teapots, right down to the same facial expressions. And the colors on this one are so darn perfect. Terrific card and teapot. Love them both.

Too adorable! Halloween is my absolute favorite holiday. Why? Candy and no family drama like some holidays, kwim? Your teapot collection is so much fun.
