April Papertrey!

I can hardly believe it's April already, although outside it's definitely feeling more springy.  I blew off more things than I probably should have today, just to play outside with the girls.  We played in the backyard, worked on our training-wheel-free bike riding and ate supper out on the deck.  Definitely more fun than what I should have actually been doing.  :-D 

SO...on to some April Papertrey goodness.  I love, love, LOVE the new Tea for Two set.  I can think of a thousand fun things to do with this set.  I've mentioned before that my mom runs a little tea room and I'm going to have to make up some fun packaging items and cards to sell in her shop.  I just need more hours in the day!!!

I chose to make a tea party setting including an invitation, napkin ring and place card with a pocket for a tea bag.

And next is a little more teapot goodness mixed in with some Spots and Dots goodness...

 

Inside the card is just a bit of ribbon to hold a tea bag in place.

And lastly, a card using my favorite sentiment from the new Scattered Showers set.  This sentiment just makes me think of Dawn and makes me happy!  Cheer Up Buttercup....doesn't get any sweeter than that, does it?

I'm off to bed...after sluffing today I NEED to be productive tomorrow!  'night!
