love the tea bag holder! I'm planning on giving my sons' teachers tea bags in their Christmas gift, this holder would be perfect!
Very pretty designs! I love the mug project doubling as a tea gift! Thanks for sharing!
I love your tea bag holder. What a cute idea for a gift. Put some designer tea packets in there and send it to someone far away. That way, you can share a cup of tea together anytime!
Simply stunning Giovana, you never cease to amaze me.
Love the tea bag holder. All your designs are so elegant.
The tea bag holder is simply fabulous! Not only is blue my favorite color, but it looks like you used stickles for the tea – another favorite medium of mine. I love the effect it has on the card - gives the tea movement. =) Great job on both projects!

beautiful! Love these projects
How much fun it must be to be able to be the first to design with the new stamps. You are doing such a fantastic job. I love the red, black and white card with the greeting the middle. It is so pretty. The block grettings really make all the cards so special. Also your mug is just adorable. I love the way you used printed paper and put the "whipped cream" in the mug.
