It is time again for Mothermark's Tea Party and this week we are grounded.....except me that is as I am have to fly to get there!!! As you can see it is all about cats this week, and chefs and POT LUCK - we all bring a dish to share - skeery!! Well Dar-r-r-lings as an animal lover I am thrilled to have such adorable creatures amongst us....I managed to sneak this Group Photo out of the Party so those of you who aren't able to attend can see what is going on - what a gorgeous crowd of gals - can you pick 'who is who' - I am not sure but I think that Peggy is there trying to disguise herself as Tigger, Mothermark is there too - now dar-r-r-lings, which one could she possibly be - I think I caught a glimpse of Marilynn!?! What about Dawn and that fire carrying cat of hers, really Dar-r-r-lings - have you ever heard of such a thing....the things people do to get noticed - you wouldn't catch someone of my 'breeding' doing that - LOL!!
...Ooops, there seems to have been a mishap with my little Kitty on the wall...oh no - she has knocked over her cup of tea...or...is she being pulled from behind by Darla who is at her first Tea Party, surely not..Darla is so sweet....no I think it might be Shirley whose C-O-O-L cats with their shade,s thought they had stolen the show, but honestly Dar-r-r-lings, their heads had swelled so BIG that we couldn't fit them in the photo...poor babies, but what is a girl to do!!! I am not really sure who would do something so terrible...I do know they may have their 'noses out of joint' by the gorgeous CAT sticker that was sent to me in a RAK from by Twisted Sister Judy Kell - how adorable it is ( I think it may have been for my DD's - opps!! Sorree!! LOL!) As you can see each of these 'Tea Party' Babes has signed this card with a special little footprint, could be worth BIG $$'s in years to come...but for now it certainly qualifies for the Our Creative Corner Challenge and the CCEEC - how exciting Dar-r-r-lings...it is party central here!!!
Also made this card for the 2RedBananas Sketch Challenge this week....I have seen from the photo that I didn't define the corners as I had intended...but have done since the photo...so hopefully it will still sneak into that challenge Dar-r-r-lings - that would be purr-r-r-fect!!!
Well, I am off to mingle and see exactly what POT LUCK means in America - I am thinking on this occasion it might mean it is POT LUCK if you get anything!!! LOL!

Oh my, this is just too cute. Looks like the kitties have misjudged their dinner wine and are having entirely too much fun. Super fun card. Love that paw print.

A very cute card, love those cats. Love the flower and ferns on it. Actually not a one of them looks like MM because she would be wearing dots. The cool cats really were being nice because they know they are big hunks and didn't want to steal the show from little kitties. Afterall, they did just get back from the Islands and they had plenty of pic's taken there which ended up in the Island Chronicles. Yes, they have been offered their very own game show so that really gives them reason to have their heads swell just a little. Don't worry they don't feel slighted in the least. Sorry about your spilt tea. I am sure you can get a refill. There seems to be plenty.

Well I would say we are a mighty fine looking group. I am impressed you got us to stand still for the photo shoot (that's what we tea party models call it.) It does seem to be a little noisy though! Gotta love the paw prints.

"Romper, bomper, stomper boo. Tell me, tell me, tell me, do. Magic mirror, tell me today. Have all my friends had fun at play?"
Do you remember the Romper Room show, Linda, or am I dating myself? At the end of the show, the hostess always looked through her "magic mirror" and recited the above and then would say, "I see....
Well, in your card, the hostess would say,
"I see da Muddermark, da MariLynn, da LovelyLinda, too, oh and there's Shirt the Squirt, and Peggy-doodle-doo..."
As a little kid, I always waited with baited breath to see if she'd say Charlene. Never did hear my name. (hiccup)
Your card is soooooo adorable! I love all the kitty paw prints. I'm so glad you were able to get a last-minute flight to join us!
(Please forgive my delay in posting a comment on your card. I lost my Internet service shortly after 5:00 yesterday and have been totally FRUSTRATED!!)

Wow your stagin is amazin. Love this Linda. A pot luck is when we all bring different dishes to share. I know for myself I am not keen on Pot Lucks... especially at this sushi party. Love your sketch card for 2RB's.
