This week's teaparty is for James. He is a sick little guy (three years old) and dealing with some tough medical issues. So in hopes of cheering him up, I have made a Pirate card for him!
The two pirates and treasure chest are from Hambo stamps. I colored them VERY brightly because I thought he might like that better. : ) The background is a freebie digi by Parenting Leehansen. I never heard of them, I just did a search for treasure maps and found this.
Because I wanted cookies, I added the little doggie. I have had him for a long time and I don't remember who made him. I made the pirate hat. (Shhhh don't tell, but I had to cut the doggies ears off, then I added the hat and then reattach them) LOL The directional is by Stampabilities.
If you have some extra time, how about making a fun card for James? Thanks for taking a peek!

Your bright colours are certainly so cheerful. And a beaver in the crew -I would think he could come in very useful! He'd be able to gnaw his way into the treasure chest if they can't find the key. This is just so sweet, Kathleen.

Kathleen, this is the best! It's colorful, fun, and magical. James is going to love this card. Love the hat, map, and the peg-legged pirate *laughing*. A wonderful card for such a worthy cause.

Kathleen, grrrrrrrrrrreat card. Love how both your pirates are so differently dressed - one the captain and the other the crew! You got it all - peg leg, sword, treasure and puppy with hat. Such a fun card for James.
