I'm a teapot virgin. This is my very first ever TPT challenge, and man o man, lemme tell ya, I laboured over this one! LOL I don't think it's supposed to take almost 5 hours to make a card but I got it done.
The objectives were to use a fairy . . . get cookies . . . no idea how that works, but cookies are good donkey . . . . . I have a dragon fairy . . . that's gotta be good for at least one cookie huh?
I don't have any flourishes but I coulda photoshopped those on but I wasn't smart enough to do that BEFORE taking a picture of it.
I got the pink and blue though! Oh, and extra pearly thingies to make up for the complete lack of flourishes.
I wonder how many cookies I can expect to receive and how long do I have to wait to get them? Dinner's in a half hour.
Anyways, the inside of the card says "You're still moving forward". I wanted to be a bit different and inject a touch of levity where usually there is none. This comes from something my 13 yr old son said to me when he was helping me through a tough time . . . he said "Mom . . . there's always and upside to the downside . . . sometimes you just have look harder to find it, so start lookin'!" It made me laugh, and I never forgot it so it seemed somehow appropriate based on the write up for Michelle.
Thanks for lookin'!

Wenchie - you made a card and joined the teaparty!!! Yea! I am so glad you did. With your imagination and talent, you will fit right in with these unbelievably special girls. I love your card and the sentiment is the best! The cookies at this teaparty are the best - they don't have any calories at all. I have some chocolate chip peanut butter bacon ones over by me so come sit. I always sit in the late to the party section. Cindy always says there is no such thing as late, but when two teaparties have gone by and the girls are hot air ballooning in New Mexico while you are catching fish in Florida - you know you are late. LOL! I am seriously so excited you decided to make a card and join this group! Please keep coming!
