WooHoo Rosalia gave us a great story/you tube this week resulting in a terrific challenge to make a funny card for our very own Teapotter, jdmommyÂ’s husband Jay - I guess that makes him jddaddy? I digress, Jay is recuperating following a total hip replacement.
Here we have Alf snoozing in a hammock and getting lots of fresh air. There are no visible stitches on Alf this week, I figured it was enough that he too has recently had hip surgery. It might be a while before he rides his bike; it is going to need a jolly good clean before he goes anywhere.
Alf started out life as a Sassy Cheryl digi image. His skin is coloured with Copic markers, everything else is coloured with distress inks and an aqua pen. The roof and walls are Kaisercraft dp.
I made a wife for Alf (she was supposed to be behind the lace curtains), sadly Mrs Alf got a bit too much water on her head (donÂ’t you just hate it when your aqua pen springs a leak) and she quite literally fell apart during the adhering process. I didnÂ’t want to hold up posting this card, so Alf will be flying solo to Wayland MA. I hope all our cards bring lots of smiles to Anne and Jay.
It has been a hectic week. I hosted my first ever DTGD challenge, I was worried no-one would turn up, so I was very relieved to see so many friendly Teapot sister faces – thanks girls.
Have a great week everyone and thank you for looking.

My word, Susie! Just not sure what you meant about Alf starting life as a Sassy Cheryl - that one has me wondering!! LOL
Your attention to detail astounds me at every turn. Having been to visit Stiz2003, I have seen first hand how amazing your cards are, and can only hope that someday one of your cards will tickle me, and be given a place of honor in my home!!
Love how you "landscaped" the whole backyard to perfection. I do agree with Wendy that the Mrs. is not peeking thru the curtain, because she is still trying to finish the DTGD challenges from last week!! Another masterpiece, Susie, you sweet stamper!!

What a super adorable card. All the details and all the work and imagination that went into this creation, makes it truly a work of Art. Should be framed. I love all your cards, this one is extra great.
