Oh no, back to school already! We just got out last week, well the teachers and students did, the office works all summer! The Teapot Challenge this week is supposed to help the teapotters count correctly or accurately and after looking at that destination thread, I think it's going to take a little more work!
I added my numbers using a piece of the paper measuring tape that you can get when you walk into IKEA. I must have about 42,000 of them stashed away and I get the "what are you going to do with that" look from DH every time I grab one or two (or three) as we walk in. There's just enough white space to use a border punch on and I do love to recycle.

You get an A+ and get to go to the top of the class. It doesn't get much more perfect for this week's teapot challenge than this. It is so cute, and well done...

This is so adorable, I love the scene and colors - so very pretty! I love your IKEA paper - look how handy it was to use for this card! I wish we had an IKEA near us.
