WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY ? ~ ANOTHER FREAKING SCRAPPY CHALLENGE & PIXELS AND PAPER CHALLENGE

Hello ! 
I am back with another new challenge for the new month. This one is over at Another Freaking Scrappy Challenge and we would LOVE  you to join us.
The Challenge is to scrap something that made you happy or makes you happy. I don't know about you but I think we can all do with more happiness in the world today, so lets spread some happiness and share what makes you happy :) 
So My take on the challenge is a layout on how happy I was to find My Mum's old Teapot under the house and all the memories it evokes. 
I also could not believe how perfect the prompt at another of my favourite challenges sites Pixels and Paper  is for my layout
 So spread some more happiness and join the challenge for what inspires you in the picture below at Pixels and Paper as well.





A cup of tea is a cup of love

I would also like to thank Lizzy Crust for the title. I can recommend visiting Lizzy's blog, Lizzy creates beautiful layouts.




This all came together really easily and I was so happy with the way it turned out, maybe because it means a lot to me.


Also on my layout I have used some goodies from my Snailmailrevival PenPals. The big white flowers are from my Pen Pal in Melbourne and the cute little blue buttons from My Pen Pal in Ireland. The other flowers are from my Mums craft stash. I thought the forget me not theme was appropriate as well.


Thank you for calling by and please share what makes you happy over at AFSC and also check out the other DT Members layouts and leave them some love , spread the happiness :) and also join in at Pixels and Paper and leave the DT members there some love as well

Love and Peace and Happiness
Mary x

Thank you Mary for using this little message I left you on Facebook, it is just right for your photo and did you know blue is my favourite color too! And those papers from kaiser are amongst my favourites! So I think this is so pretty and I love it! And I do love a cup of tea too! I hope one day I get to share one with you!

Wow Mary! I love this page about the teapot. Such a lovely memory & you've done a brilliant job on this. I love the blues & the flower cluster. Great title too xx

Such a beautiful, homely page Mary. So glad you scrapped your precious teapot and the memories it holds for you. Your pages very often remind me of my darling Mother and sometimes my eyes leak when I see what you've created. I'm sure your Mum and mine would have had much in common over a cuppa :D
