This week we are going to have a teaparty with Elizabeth aka "I Love Rubber" and her sister Debby. Debby has such very serious health issues, but we hope to make her forget even if it is just for one day.
The story this week was full of fun tales about two sisters, Darla and Lizzie. Darla and Lizzie are good friends of Hazy and Lazy and Hazy and Lazy are best buddies with sisters Debby and Elizabeth. So here is my card for Debby and to celebrate National Sisters Day.
I don't have a sister but I do have a sister in law. If I had to go out and hand-pick a wife for my wonderful brother, she is who I would have come home with.
I thought of Elizabeth and Debby the entire time I was making this. I hope they have as much fun looking at it as I had making it.....See you at the teaparty. I will bring the limes for the frozen magarhitta's.
Now about the card. I thought I would try a stair step fold.....are you laughing your head off yet? This is a standard stair step fold, but with 3 sets of steps instead of 1. The window at the back is actually a little free standing 'mountain fold' card to write the note on.
The biycle had a wee crash so I fashioned one of the wheels to look like a wagon wheel leaning against the back fence.
The gorgeous digi images are from Sassy Cheryl. Debby was originally swinging from the tree with a little puppy dog. Sadly I "fussy cut" Fiddo's head off, so I thought it was best to remove him altogether (sorry Deb). In the original digi image of Elizabeth, the heart balloon is on her right side, but I felt it inhibited Deb's swinging from the tree, so I relocated it.
DH thought the wall behind Debby should have been a big tree.......grrrrrr I'd like to see him try and draw a tree LOL, who does he think I am....Mutnik!
Have a wonderful week and thank you for looking.

How could anybody not have fun looking at any of your fabulous stair-step creations, Susie, and looking at all the little details and how much you've worked the story into the card.
