Hi, I'm Torrey. Welcome to Left Field, where creativity runs amok and imagination is ALWAYS more important than knowledge. Shoes are not allowed but ties are optional. This is a repository of snippets from my life out here in Left Field. One never knows what shiny bits of creativity will be found here... cards, scrapbook layouts, photography, poetry, recipes, ponderings, rantings and musings. It could be anything! Life in Left Field is always changing, always real, always ...interesting.

What's Yellow, Blue, and White All Over?

Hidy ho, crafty peeps!

So, what is yellow, blue, and white all over?

I sat and tried to come up with some witty answer...but it's over 100 degrees outside and I've been running around trimming hedges and doing errands in the heat...so my brain is fried (literally).

No quippy answer for you!

The straight answer is:

The new Monday challenge over at 
House Mouse and Friends!

As some of you know, my mom and I are hosting (or is that hostessing?) a ladies' tea party here in a few days. It's gonna be an AwEsOmE event! We're making wonderful yummy things to eat and drink, and have oh-so-cute decorations and favors. I'll post all about it IN PAINSTAKING DETAIL (with plenty of pictures and maybe even a video of me singing...yes, I do that on occasion) in about a week or so.

High Tea, Texas Style.

So, I made these really FaBuLoUsLy gaudy invitations (which I'll post on the upcoming tea party post), but one of our tea party guests is only 3 years old and I decided she was deserving of her own special invitation--just for her. I did it in the yellow, blue, and white scheme so that I could use it for this challenge...because by the time this post goes live, I'll be up to my eyeballs making brownie brittle, cream cheese mints, scones, and other yummy delicacies.

I used the Gruffies stamp "All Warm and Furry". It's an oldie but a goodie! I colored it up with my Polychromos pencils, and added some simple finishing touches with a die cut frame from Spellbinders, and honey-colored organza ribbon. Beary cute, don't you think?

Now, it's your turn to come and play with us at House Mouse and Friends for your chance at winning some super-dee-duper prizes! Details are at their blog which you can link to HERE

Make sure your project features one of the House Mouse critters. Your project can follow the "Yellow, Blue, and White" theme or you can always march to your own drum and do an "Anything Goes"! You have 2 weeks to enter, so get ready, get set, CRAFT!
 

Thanks, as always, for coming to visit me out in Left Field!!
