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.

Susie strikes again! Another wonderful stairstep card. I love how the sisters are so different, with one hanging out of a tree and the other primly standing aside -- it was fun to read Elizabeth's comment about how that's true to life.

Susie your creativity and detail are so inspiring. I love these great young ladies just being girls. Your scene is fabulous - your stair step back yard is a fabulous place for sisters and friends to make memories. I treasure seeing what you have come up with each week. Thank your for your generosity of spirit. Hugz.

These two are just the cutest! Love the little monkey (not sure which of the sisters this is) hanging from the tree limb and love how you used the two dies to create the foliage. The heart shaped balloon with the sentiment is brilliant! Do I see the tailfeathers from a hiding bird inyour birdhouse? Don't you just HATE it when you decapitate when you are fussy cutting? :-) This is just so delightful and charming and it is sure to bring a smile to her face and warmth to her heart as she opens your wonderful creation!
