Congratulations Pat!! I just had to play this week because I was a momof4sons for only 5 minutes (my youngest are twins). Nothing in life, including three older sons prepared me for twins and I haven't been the same since. I wonder if that is why you were so welcoming of me at the Tea Parties...
Well Scarlet and Saphire tried to put their heads together, but simply couldn't come up with just one vision. Now Shelly, nesting instinct in overdrive, uncharacteristically exploded an insisted that they just divvy up the room a la Jan & Marsha Brady. Ha! a diagonal line was drawn and each of the colorful decorating divas dove in. Contrasting visions came to fruition just in time for the twins birth. In an ironic twist, Austin landed on the pink side and Sydney on the blue.
About the card:Stamped the monkeys in Whisper White on Bashful Blue and Pink Pirouette and embossed with Winter White, cut out. Cut and matted paper from A Debbie Mumm pad and made the bow. Scored and cut (by eye...I'm so proud of myself) the block and the rhombus for the side. Freehanded the initials A and S on the sides of the block with a Copic. PC generated the sentiment, punched and mounted it on the front of the block. Mounted all and popped the monkeys into place on dimensionals. Used another paper from the pad to punch/cut the lamps (loved where you were going with those Mother Dearest, snort!). Ran the top and bottom of the card in the CB folder through BigShot, mounted all and trimmed the lamps to A2. Do I get triple dog dare points for having two lamps, two monkeys and the word two??
Thanks so much for looking and have a peaceful day.

OMG... I LOVE all the elements of this clever and creative card! Cute monkey stamps, and what a great effect by stamping them in white! Laughed out loud at your reference to drawing a diagonal line thru the card/room... brought back some sibling rivalry memories. Awesome, awesome card!
