I am putting this into the teapot party today because it really is sewn on a sewing machine....not faux like ME!!! My friend Trudy (supergranny66) gave this to me over lunch to thank me for a Christmas gift I gave her. I am so glad I got her a gift so I got this card!!! She is a perfectionist but does not get much love on her site for the beautiful cards she posts.
Another reason for posting in the teapot challenge is that Trudy is a special person. She helps me with my cardmaker group and has for over a year. People cannot get to the rack fast enough to purchase her beautiful cards. Her camera 'sucks' and I am not sure if that is a nice thing to say but I am 62 now and this is the worst thing that comes out of my mouth so I apologize if it is bad....but it does suck!!!! Her cards are so beautiful but they never show their true beauty in her gallery. Please check out her gallery and see for yourself how beautiful her cards are. You can find her gallery here . Trudy also belongs to our stitching group and has made a lot of beautiful caps and blankets for babies in hospitals. I am sure you can see the love she gives to others in her cards.
Kindness is part of today's party so Trudy fits in perfectly.

You are so right Connie, I have jumped a step and visited her gallery, will be sending more love later on, but did comment the last card she posted, it's so pretty and "lovemade" I see that.
Thanks for showcasing her pretty flowers for you, I love tht you shared this and a bit of her he-art story with us. Hugsxo

This is indeed a beautiful card, you are lucky to have received it, and she is lucky to have a friend like you! I did take a peek at her gallery (thanks for the link). Trudy does create lovely cards, some quite unique! TFS
