Time For Tea

The third challenge I attempted for the Peartree Cutfile June Crop was #1 Fiona's Phrase Challenge.



A few days before my birthday, lockdown restrictions were lifted enough for my daughter Catherine to come and stay for the weekend. We went to Harleston for a little shopping and to enjoy a drink and cake in a vegan café (The Hungry Cat Café). So much more sociable than my 60th birthday last year when lockdown prevented going anywhere or seeing anyone!

I used:
Bo Bunny patterned Papers
Bazzill Cardstock
Basic Grey Alphabet Stickers
Teapot Charm
Peartree Cutfile - Teacups
