Renaissance woman Zuzu is about to lose all of the fruits of her labor...she needs our help!! Get ready to fling something at a mean man. Confused? Don't be! Fling yourself over to the Teaparty to find out what the fracas is all about: MMTPT241 Strong & Sweet Zuzu, What Will You Do? by momof5sons at Splitcoaststampers
Our cards this week can be sent to fellow Teapotter Linda aka Zgirlsgranny. One of her passions has been woodworking, including crafting children's toys. My card celebrates that...cut the roof shingles from a piece of birch veneer. Used white ripple paper to add texture to the wall, cut a bunch of holly flourish leaves for the vines and copies/reduced some Frances Mayer stickers for the toys in the window. PC generated the store sign. PT - 14
Thank you so much for looking. If you have a chance, please make Linda a card or send one from your stash. Have a peaceful day.

So very sweet this is, almost like Santa's workshop. You did a great job on the house and does remind you of the tea pot---great job, it will be loved.

Not only is Linda going to love your card but her granddaughters as well. Love your interpretation of the teapot and all the different textures you used.

Great replica of the teapot - love that you turned it into a toy shop, just for Linda's wares!! VERY cool to use veneer to make the shingles - looks like you have taken over doing a copy of the teapot as a card, and boy are you good!

Wow, Marie, your card is amazing! I thought the roof looked real and when I read that you used birth veneer I knew why - absolutely fantastic! Thank you for a great teaparty.

Goodness - what a brilliant and amazing take on the teapot. The super shingles caught my eye first but I just love the little toys in the windows! I was out walking today and saw a rocking horse in a big picture window - I was thinking how like a toyshop it made the house look!!
