I chose to honor Susie Australia with this step card – my first ever step card. I love Susie’s amazing scene step cards. Susie is so talented and I love to read her funny stories about the trials and tribulations of creating her wonderful cards. I couldn’t find the tutorial/layout Susie used in this gorgeous card MMTPT282 - Merry Christmas Anita by susie australia at Splitcoaststampers, so went with a different center step layout. After I had the foundation for the card all cut out, I questioned the wisdom of this idea. I stared at the base hoping it would create itself, but when that failed, I went to do my exercises: thought I might be able to think better if I got some blood flow to my brain. It worked - I remembered my newest die, whimsical tree, and the rest was easy. My card doesn’t have the exquisite detail seen in Susie’s cards, but it feels like a good first attempt. And …. I didn’t suffer any injuries!
