A nice cuppa tea

I think I have mentioned before that I love Kelly Lunceford's cards.  Well I really love what she does with the Papertrey "Time for Tea" stamp set (see this one).  I would love this set but it is not available in Australia.  It is $24 on line but the shipping is $27 !!! how ridiculous is that ? So the best I could come up with was this:

I found a couple of chipboard teapots (wonder what on earth I bought those for??), and although it was really too big I think it turned out OK and I was sooo pleased that I hadn't thrown out the Royal Albert ribbon that came on a gift pack.

One of my Daughter's friends required something a bit more exciting than a teapot so I opted for an evening handbag.  I saw one on a blog ages ago but couldn't find it when I went back to have another look.

and while I was in the fashion mode I made this:

It is a fun set from Hero Arts - there are three other shoes in the set but I always seem to ink this one up. 

I love the Top Note shape from Stampin' Up, and have been hand cutting it for a while now.  I have been told that I can use the SU die with my Cuttlebug but wanted to find out for sure before I buy it. 

I have a couple more things to show but will keep them for next time.

Bye for now
