This week's tea party is in Boston where we are helping Chris beef up his vocabulary so he can win the National Crossword Puzzle Awards. Our mission is to do one of the following: bring him something that reminds him of a teapot since he can't seem to remember that word; bring some other words to help out his vocabulary and memory; save his job (he kicked his boss you know); find his girl a new guy since he is a bit obsessed; or bring them something to live in since he isn't going to win the money if he can't get that silly little word and he will need somewhere to live with his girl (especially if he has no job).
I brought some words - these are all super good words - words with power! I think he probably needs to lighten up so I highlighted the word "grin."
I think that later this week, I will do another card for the teaparty - one that might be able to win the new contest Mothermark has started (check it out in the teapot tuesday section of the forum)!

Pure genius you were to think of this stamp! Giggle...see your card is catching! I love this for this challenge....and the way you highlighted grin is awesome with the big ole bow and flower! Just between you and me, I think this approach is better, get their minds off stuff, you know.......
I can't wait to see what you come up with for the contest....the question is.....when will you be able to load it? Hee! I will be waiting though....whenever that is!
Happy Tuesday.....And like Bertie says, Party till the cows come home, oh....they already are home! Snort!

GRIN - that's what this beautiful card and Teapot Tuesday make me do. If Christopher doesn't solve the crossword puzzle soon, we'll all just have to shout at him "You're outta here, buddy! Just grin and bear it!"

What a perfect bg stamp to use for this challenge! Love how you highlight the word grin and then added a beautiful matching ribbon and flowers! You're right - he needs to lighten up -- and then he'll get the word!!

This is a great stamp for the teapot challenge this week. I love how you have highlighted the words. Very dramatic! That ribbon is gorgeous by the way! Love it and the flower!!!
