Tea Time For mom

Its been a busy week for me so far!  

Lots of work... not a lot of creating! 

Today I took a little time out for that creating...

I made this card for mom 

(hopefully she doesn't read the blog till she gets the card!)

I found some cool retro looking paper at the local scrap store

and thought I'd try out some new stamps I picked up at 

Tuesday Morning!

Also, over at Shopping Our Stash their challenge is 3, 2, 1, as in 3 of something

2 of something else, and 1 of something... so I have 3 stamps, 2 paper designs, and 1 die cut

Yes, that's an oval die cut in the center..

Here's the fun part of this card.

It's the surprise inside

That's right, a tea bag!

You see, mom and dad are coming back for a visit in a few weeks

And maybe we'll get to go out for tea, but if not,

we could always have a skype session and a cup of tea!

So I know it's hard to see, but I actually layered these strips of

paper all around the tea bag. Layer after layer after layer.

I did the same thing on the front of the card, layering the green stripes around 

the pink teapot paper. 

Hope you enjoy today's post! I hope to have some fun posts the 

rest of the week as well! So come on back and check out the fun!  

And remember to come back on Sunday for a fun new challenge over at
