You're currently viewing Splitcoaststampers as a GUEST. We pride ourselves on being great hosts, but guests have limited access to some of our incredible artwork, our lively forums and other super cool features of the site! You can join our incredible papercrafting community at NO COST. So what are you waiting for?
Anyone is welcome to play in the weekly Teapot Challenge - the more, the merrier! You automatically become a “TEApotter” the first time you play. Where will you find inspiration? Will it be from the teapot? The destination location? Something of the recipient? Or could it be from the challenge itself? Remember, sending your card to the listed guest of honor is 100% voluntary - it's not a requirement but will be very well appreciated. Just have fun!
This week's challenge hostess is: jacqueline/Jacqueline
CHALLENGE: Dawn has a great assortment of cards in her galleryFind a card to CASE from her gallery BUT choose one that has pink in it and carry that pink element over into your card. If the card you choose doesn't have pink, switch out one of the elements to pink. Show us what card of Dawn's you chose along with your cloned version.
CARD TYPE/THEME: Thinking of you, Hugs, Encouragement
Thank you to Denise (card crazy) for pointing out that we have not yet had a Tea Party for our own Dawn Barrett (dawnmercedes). Dawn was diagnosed with breast cancer about six months ago and has been undergoing treatment. Let's show her that the Teapotters have her back! Many of you will know Dawn from the gallery, the daily challenges, and as a Dirty Girl. You may know her as an artist, a musician, and an athlete. In addition to making cards, she sews, plays piano, and taught herself how to play ukelele. She is a runner and a swimmer (instructor and life guard).

I did send Dawn a message a few months ago, checking up on her. She sounded pretty good and spunky. I'm so glad Denise brought her back to our attention:
My card will have to go in the mail tomorrow. Getting interviewed by the detective in charge of the vandalism at the church I work at had to take precedence today . . . .
Thank you for the challenge, Jacqueline! I cased Dawn's quilt card and made sure to use some pink in my design. You have a wonderful gallery, Dawn .... hope you are feeling stronger each day!
God demonstrated His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us ... being now justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him. Romans 5:8 & 9
This is a great challenge for Dawn; I enjoyed her gallery and CASEing/cloning one of her lovely cards. Here's my card. I will get it in the mail later this week.
Oh wow wow wow! Tonight,my DH brought in a cardfrom Shoe Girl, who hinted at a tea party. Of course, I ran to put beloved SCS to see what was happening.
Thank you for brightening my day. It has been a crazy 18 months... but the last 6 months have been a roller coaster.
Laster tonight I will get on my laptop and admire all the paper love and hugs.

I know we were supposed to clone one of Dawn's cards, however, I went thru her gallery and looked at all 63 pages of gorgeous, beautiful creations that she made and I found myself finding inspiration in many of her cards. So, I took the inspiration from several of her cards and cloned one of my own hopefully representing Dawn. I hope you like it. Dawn's Card
Thank you! My son just walked in with this card avalanche. You made my day and lifted my spirits. I will probably open one a day to stretch the love. Splitcoast, you are still the greatest!
