I just had more fun than I think is legal !!! I am ever so slowly working my way through the Dare to Get Dirty challenges but there was no way I was missing out on Teapot Tuesday.
This week we are tickling a fellow Teapotter. Faith (yabbadodo) has given us a fun story about Hazy and Lazy. We have to bring summer fun and games to the girls.
Anyone participating in DTGD will recognise a few challenges here. If you don't know and if I tell you, I will have to kill you, so it's probably best if I just tell you about the construction of my card.
"Beates" Stair Step is my all time favourite fold (I hear some of you laughing). This has 3 sets of steps (made like normal, I just made the cardstock wider and added extra steps). Best of all it fits into a DL envelope (business letter size).
Our teapotter Jennifer (mother'sdaughter) sent me lots of gorgeous diecuts and lovely Peggy (jasonw1) sent me a pushbike die.
Young Hazy and Lazy started out life as digi images by Sassy Cheryl. Their little outfits are paper pieced. I used copics for heads and hair. I still can't shade properly so I swooshed some distress ink through their hair. Origionally I tried to watercolour their hair....I think I over did the amount of water and Hazy's head fell off....so I started again and will leave watercolouring for another day.
Thanks for looking. I am very happy that Lazy and Hazy are going to a Teapotters home. I forgot to say, the centre wall at the back is actually a little card to write on and then place over the back step.

Susie, you've done it again! I'll have to check your keywords to see which DTGD challenges you've covered though I'm pretty sure that for starters I've spotted Twinshappy. But I do know that you've rocked the TPT challenge, as always. Your favourite card fold - we'd never have guessed, LOL.
I worked out Tammie's, too - but wouldn't have spotted MakiJ's without seeing the keyword - very clever.
Hazy's head fell off - oh no!!

Susie,
Oh my gosh - you've done it again! Your card is totally and absolutely wonderful - and all the work you put into your scenes comes across - because they always make everyone smile! I love it!

Susie, this is SAH-WEET with a capital "S"!!! Bless your heart for doing the stair step, and what a great job it is with the gingham checked jackets and the bike at the ready. Some tea Potter is going to be VERY HAPPY to see this is their mailbox soon - what a delightful creation!! So glad you are having fun with the DTGD challenges!!
