Mad Tea Party 2012!

Hello, all! It's finally here! The 5th Annual 'A Fanciful Twist' Mad Tea Party! Click here to visit Vanessa at A Fanciful Twist, to see her magical tea party, and the long list of others who are participating with their own online tea parties!

This is my third time participating, and I can tell you that it's loads of fun. I love seeing all the creativity that everyone comes up with; not only with food, treats, and decorations, but also with stories, prizes, and crafts. I do hope you will enjoy yourself here and every other stop in this party hop!

Welcome to Scrap Vamp's Tea Party!

First thing first, let me introduce you to the guest's on my list.

The Queen of Hearts:


The Mad Hatter:


Here are the Queen and Hatter, with the Hatter being his silly self!



 The White Rabbit and the Cheshire Cat:


Here are the White Rabbit & Cheshire Cat with Alice!


An Un-Birthday Party Guest:


The Ace of Spades:


The March Hare:


A Pink Flamingo (taking a break from playing croquet):


 And The Tweedles (Dee and Dum; don't know which is which):


Now that you have met everyone, let the party commence! Here we see the beautiful Alice peeking out from behind the table decorations!



 With all the mounds of decorations and food, it's a wonder we can see anyone at all!






The hedgehog is hiding today, so that no one decides to use him as a croquet ball.


We have a lovely topiary cake that may be a bit askew, but it tastes wonderfully just the same! Inside the layers are chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry with creamy & sweet butter cream icing... Yum! Have a slice or maybe two, there's a lot to go around!



These little playing cards are standing in formation, ready for someone to snack on them.


Alice is busy readying a crown. Could it be a gift for the queen or one for herself? The Tres Leches Trifle near her sure looks delicious, and those sandwiches, too. Help yourself!


Have a cup of tea or two, along with all the treats, before you take your leave. I hope that you enjoyed your visit here and that you'll stop by some time to catch up!




Now for a little project that I created especially for this occasion!








I created this mini album using the Alice in Wonderland collection of stamps from Simply B Stamps. If you look carefully in the tea party pictures, you may spy these characters on the table here and there. This little book is up for grabs! Just become a follower, or let me know that you are already a follower, and leave a comment. I will use random.org to choose a winner on August 1st, which will give everyone enough time to stop by! Thank you for visiting!
