Tea Party

This Tea Party with my granddaughters was very special to me it had been a year since we had seen each other and one thing we love to do together is have tea parties no matter how simple or how fabulious. This time we went to Scrumdiddlyumptious we had pink lemonade in tea cups with cupcakes to eat. To much fun and wonderful memories.

I used K & Company papers. I snipped the birds out and popped them up with foam squares. I cut the tea party image with the Cricut using the cartridge Once Upon a Princess, with K & Company pink polka dots printed paper. I also cut out a matching mat to high light the photo of my oldest granddaughter serving me tea. I have a thing with hands, they are so beautiful in pictures. I matted the girls in light green and also black to draw your attention to my beautiful granddaughters. I added a piece of lace to give the page a little taste of fancy.

I had the pleasure of taking a class during National Scrapbook Day with Gretchen McElveen, a desinger with KI Memories, and was inspired by some of the pages she had created with a large mat in the top portion of the page where you could add two photos. As I was inspired by Gretchen I hope you enjoy my page and that it inspires you to create some art of your own.
