Well I finally made it to Mothermark's Teapot Tuesday Challenge. We are celebrating a year of teapots this week. Come join the fun. There are prizes...and loads of great stampers.
I wanted to make a special card for this challenge. Of any challenge I do weekly this is by far the best. I have met so many wonderful people and had a blast. When I saw that we were celebrating at the Queen's castle I was excited. Tomorrow is my 10 year anniversary. ( I married a king...he thinks so anyway LOL ) Ten years ago I was in England at the queen's castle on my honeymoon. I spent yesterday looking through all my old photos thinking I could use one for a card today..
I went a different direction but it was a good one. I wanted us to all celebrate this week not only the one year anniversary but also the people that come here each Tuesday. We are all different in so many ways. Some stamp elegant, others stamp whimsical. We all have different backgrounds but the one thing that draws us all together is Cindy's passion for teapots. I created a castle with all different Tilda's waiting to get in. I think it represents all of us in some way. Thanks to each and every one of you for your friendship here week after week...Visit Cindy's glob if you want to see the teapot and there are some goodies there too... Come join us.

Dawn, this is utterly charming and a wonderful tribute to MM's anniversary. I know you play every week, but I don't often get to take a peek. This is a darling 3D card with those precious Tildas awaiting their chance to meet the Queen! Sweet!

I am sorry I'm too late to wish you a happy anniversary - I hope you had a special celebration for that as well as for the tea-parties. What a great coincidence that you could look through your honeymoon photos while thinking about what card to make. And what a great card, with the little Tildas waiting so patiently. So long as that adorable little puppy doesn't learn bad habits from Linda's corgi!

Happy Anniversary Dawn!! I love what you wrote on my blog for advice, and I adore this castle card!! How very creative, and you know the Tildas are always welcome, they are so sweet and pretty in their outfits!! I can't believe it's taken me so long to make it here, but yours was one of the first one to visit...
I agree with you about the Tea Party challenge and the fun and friendship we have here. I couldn't do it today, needed a very fast card, but soon I hope!
PS...are any of those Tildas new? I have another one for you...silly goose!
