My mom was surprised to find out she was the destination for last week's teapot challenge. She has received some beautiful cards. So I decided to jump on the teapot bandwagon because I've seen the smiles the happy mail brings!

I didn't realise you were Sonja's daughter! I'm sure she's been loving all her cards - it's one thing seeing them on screen, but they're always so much lovelier in real life.
Welcome along to the tea-parties, Krista.

A big welcome to the Tea Parties Krista!! This is one Beautiful angel and card!! I thought the bg looked like you used the shaving cream and ink technique, and by going to your blog, I found this to be true. It's a most appropriate bg for this beautiful angel!!
I hope that your Mom and everyone else that gets to see, feels the love coming through in all the cards!

Thanks for the tea party welcome I'm excited. I have loved checking the cards out IRL - they are so beautiful and such a sweet gesture!
I really liked how this background looked with the angel!

Hi Krista! I've missed quite a few tea parties lately, but I love to at least take the time to WELCOME the newbies! Everyone is so kind and gracious-it's a great group of ladies! What a lovely angel card and the teal color looks amazing! Hope to join in again soon maybe. In the meantime, hope you will be joining us each week you can!
