Hi! I made this card for today's challenge: the Madd Hatter! Here's my story for today....
As I wandered through wonderland looking for the tea party with Johnny Depp and all of the stampers, I saw the most amazing things: flowers shaped like fans, a cat with stripes sitting in a tree, a rabbit with a HUGE gold watch wearing a coat and carrying gloves and a fan, a caterpillar smoking a hookah, a talking lobster, and a baby that is really a PIG! Goodness! My head is spinning, just thinking about all the wondrous things here!
When....
Suddenly a voice rang loud in this magical land.
“I’ll give you a treat if you hold out your hand!”
So I held out my hand, and received for my efforts
A small piece of cake, yet it was a dinner of sorts!
This cake had no beginning and it had no end,
But it had lots of twists and it had lots of bends!
When I ate it, I grew and I grew and I grew,
Doesn't cake without begining or end do that to YOU?
So meet me at the tea party or at the premier,
I'll be there if I can, have no fear!!
Thanks for taking a look and listening to my story, and have a wonderful day!

Hee! What a card and story! So creative....Sounds like to me you are in Wonderland......Love those fan flowers and little striped grunge critter! Definately inspired by the teapot I would say.
You are getting to be a regular and I am loving that! Oh hi Johnny! Sure I will come sit by you! (who'da thunk!)
