Today is Mothermark's first year anniversary for her Tuesday Teapot Challenge!!
You need to head over to her blog to see her amazingly detailed teapot card and the chance to win some fabulous blog candy!! www.mothermark.blogspot.com
My card was inspired by Cindy's teapot today, and to celebrate I made my first every shrinky dink plastic teapot! Kinda fun, but the colors don't show up very well on here, I am afraid!
Thanks for a bunch of fun Tuesdays, Cindy...now off to the castle to calm down the tea partiers and see what kind of crumpet crumbs I can find...

Hi Traci! I have been at Carn's all night thinking about all of the wonderful teapot cards I was missing out on looking at! Like yours! OMG! I can't believe you tried a shrinky dinky dinky doo teapot! Snort! How fun is that!
I love that you got the three panels and the soft flowers in the background! I know its a busy time for you and I so appreciate you taking the time to make this card! I hope you have a wonderful trip and a wonderful anniversary celebration with Tom! Call me when you get back and we can have lunch!
Thanks for coming so far, all the way to Windsor Castle. Thanks for the kind words about my castle card too! Your card is precious! I am impressed with the little teapot! Its so cute!!!
Oh and by the way, Bertie says you were pushing the other tea partiers in line! Pushing makes the line move faster! You go girl! Snort!

I came back! I just got a report from the Queens people that someone shrinky dinky dinky dinky, dinky dooed the castle! Now there is no room for the dudes from Buckingham Palace! The Queen's big toe doesn't fit in her bedroom, the maids and butlers are all smooshed in their quarters, and the teapots? Well, when the shunk, the tea spilled over and now there is a flood in the dinky little shrinked Windsor Castle!
Can you reverse the process Traci, quick like! And no! You can't wait until you get back from your trip with Tom!!!

Very cute, I love that shrinky dink teapot and your checked ribbon. Great job. I have never made a shrinky dink, anything. Hope you had a good time exploring the castle.

This is just the sweetest card! Love the blue flowery pattern, the shrinky plastic teapot. Cool ribbon too Traci.
Having fun in and out the castle, I've been touring around downtown, because I know at some point I will have to sit down with the "ladies" and have tea with my pinky sticking up. WOW fun...blah...I just love being entertained by Bill and Harry, they are not at all what I had expected from proper English! LOL

What a pretty card, Traci! I love the DP and the adorable little teapot! Wonderful design! I'm glad you are calming everyone down! There might be a few crumbs left - I hope so!

I just love the panels in this card and your shrinky dinky teapot is so cute. You framed it wonderfully! This is such a lovely card with the scallops and the colors you chose.

I really like shrink plastic - except for colouring it! You did a great job with this, and showcasing it on that little panel. Sort of reminds me of the cushions for wedding rings, LOL.

This turned out so great Traci. I love the shrinky dink. I have some of that and have not tried it. Your dp is the perfect colors for Cindy's challenge pot. Hope you can calm down the rowdies. I finally made it to the party.

Wow, Traci, love your shrinky dink teapot. I've never tried that for cards anyway. Love the three pretty panels. And love how you did your ribbon. Very nice.
