WooHoo itÂ’s tickle a Teapotter time! Wanda aka wendy2512, has given us a terrific story about Daisy-May her best friend Dixie and the annual Harvest Dance. Our challenge is to bring something that will help make a pretty dress for the dance.
Daisy-May and Dixie still can’t find the cord to their sewing machine so they decided to meet up at Miss Wanda’s Boutique after school. As you can see Daisy-May is already in the shop keeping an eye out for Dixie, she has found the perfect dress on display in the front window. You can imagine her surprise when Dixie turns up in almost an identical dress (almost two sizes too big for her – but that’s another story).
Now about the card, this is a double stair step card (you didnÂ’t see that coming did you). Even though Daisy-May is just a head and neck, she did start out as a full sized Sassy Cheryl digi image. She wouldnÂ’t fit behind the window, so a little trimming was necessary.
Dixie also started out life a Sassy Cheryl digi image – normally she is carrying a fishing rod, I had to cut the fishing rod off for obvious reasons. I have given her a little handbag – she carries it like a mini Kim Kardashian don’t you think. Her dress is a bit too big and her arm looked like it was sticking out of her tummy, so I cut her arm off, trimmed the dress sleeve, then stuck her arm back on.
All the usual trimmings have been added – awnings, flourishes, push bike (a gift from lovely Peggy more than a year ago). The lamppost was a RAK from a Teapotter – I got a few tickle treats muddled up recently, so I am not sure who this is from, but I do love it.
Have a great week ladies. Thank you for looking.

Oh I remember when Dixie was out fishin'. It is so cool how you change your images up. I had to read your story twice...was looking for "our " normal mishaps. My first card was ok so far, but ...lol...going to try sewing on a card for the first time on the second one to send...that could be interesting. Looks like so far this week we escaped injury...knock on wood, as I tap my old niggin'...lol.
I love this scene and how cute that you called it Wanda's Boutique, right in with the story here...:0) And look at the sweet handbag matching her outfit, those boys won't know what hit them sweet details and all. Very neat multicolored fence too...right on Sistah"...;0)....HUGS

If I ever have the good fortune to meet up with you I hope I fit in the window OK so you don't do amputations to pose me where you want. LOL As usual I love your card. No idea what a double stair step card is but it sounds difficult. I had a go at one a couple of months ago and learned a whole new level of appreciation for what you do.
