This is for Cindy's challenge....I have had the best time making this. Thank you soooooo much Cindy.
Hazy and Lazy are 2 little girls in an earlier DTGD challenge and this is where they live. I have never made a card for myself so this one is going to sit on my craft desk as a momento of the fantastic week the Dirty Girls have given us. I have thrown in a few elements from other challenges so I can remember everything.
I used a lot of dies on this one, so I will list them here as there is a bit more room.
MEMORY BOX DIES
Bicycle (a gift from Peggy)
Arboscello Tree
Twiggy Tree
Flowering Christmas Tree (heavily pruned to look like a creeping vine through the fence).
French Window (with acetate)
Picket Fence
MARIANNE DESIGN
Fence (at very back on right side - hard to see)
Birdcage
COTTAGE CUTZ
Tree
MFT - Die-Namics
Rolled Rose - small
Rolled Rose - medium
Grass (diecut grass gift from Jennifer-mothers daughter - I love it so much I have ordered my own)
Metal die flourish at back - gift from Peggy
The card is Beates stairstep, but with 3 sets of steps. The middle set of steps is hard to see, the little children are on the second step. The very back centre step is empty.
I used liquid pearls on the bike wheel centre and randomly on a few trees and flowers.
Thank you for looking. Here is a picture of the 2 cards together.

Oh My Gosh, Susie!!! This is simply AMAZING!!! I could look at it for ages. I'm sure Hazy and Lazy will be right at home on your craft desk and I hope they bring you happiness every time you see them and their beautiful home. On the other hand MY craft desk looks like a whirlwind hit it - and, in a way, it did this past week -lol! Thanks so much for your lovely comments and encouragement, fellow Aussie.

OMG this is just beautiful. I want all the dies to make it. LOL
I have found a reasonable place to find the dies a lot cheaper. I just have to space myself to buy them LOL. Here is the place http://buy4less.webstore.com

Oh, my word, Susie! I have no idea how I missed this treasure during DTGD. I am so thankful Lois linked it today. This is absolutely spectacular. I want to case it too. Thank you so much for sharing such a wonderful creation.
