Make it Monday, Teapot Tuesday ...all on a Wednesday!

It's tax season so that means less time for fun and more work.  sigh....

I combined the Papertrey Make It Monday 102 Pillow Box Stamping challenge with the Teapot Tuesday MMTPT235 challenge to make a little gift set for Cindy Motherway, affectionately known as, da Mudder.  Cindy has given countless hours, lots of tears and boundless amounts of encouragement to so many people through her Teapot Tuesday Challenges on SplitcoastStampers.

A few ladies have stepped up to relieve da Mudder as she steps down to go on to other adventures.  This week, Ksnurse, has planned a little dotty party in honor of Cindy.

Here's my little gift set for Cindy:

Here's what I made to send her:


I love, love May Arts velvet and I hope Cindy will like this bookmark.  It's not polka dot but I had some pretty beads that have sparkly dots on them...close, right? (The tutorial I wrote for  for these was published in Bead Trends magazine...there's a link in the sidebar.)

Here's the inspiration photo:

Thanks for stopping by...I love your visits and comments.  I'm trying to get around to return the favor.  :-)

Supplies:
Cardstock - Neenah
Stamps - Papertrey Ink Polka Dot Basics, Tiny Tags II
Ink - Versafine
Ribbon - May Arts Velvet
Other - Scor-Tape; Bazzill Basics flower;beads and findings
