Today for Mothermark's Teapot Tuesday, we are watching Chris Cross at the National Crossword Championship! He is stuck on his final word and he and his wife Crisanne NEED the prize money to buy a new home. For some reason I just know Chris will come through, and I have found the perfect house for the happy couple! A little saltbox nestled in a field of Crossword Sunflowers...a very rare seed hybrid developed by none other than Meriam Webster himself! Just don't tell Meriam that some real sunflower seeds got thrown into the mix (See those last 2 on the right? Some how they are un-checkerboarded but I was too tired to fix them when I realized my mistake, grrrr)
PS...FINALLY got me an SU Top Note Die whoopeeeee! Thanks Krischir!

Love the colours in this Kelly! so bright and cheerful - and how clever to add your checkerboards to them -- and frankly if you hadn't pointed it out, I would probably not have noticed the two uncheckered ones on the end - and I'm sure I'm much smarter than Christopher ;D

Love your charming little cottage for Chris and Chrisanne! With the crossword sunflowers, they are sure to feel right at home, much more so than anyone else can! Love the subtle sponging on the top note and house. GREAT card!
