Hi Everyone. Happy Sunday. It's the fabulous Sandy's turn to host our Paper Players challenge this week and she has a great sketch for us. I had so many ideas for this sketch, but in the end decided to focus on a set from Altenew called Vintage Teacup. I am an avid tea drinker.

Hi Everyone. Happy Monday. Hope you are all having a great start to your Thanksgiving week! I got time to play in my craft room this weekend and played with some new goodies. One of them was my new Vintage Teacup set from Altenew. As an avid tea drinker, I knew this set was a must have item for me as soon as I saw the pre-release.
