Hello, friends! Even though my to-do list is full of garden chores, I took some time to stamp. It’s not like when I was working and I had such limited free time. I can pick and choose now that I’m retired. Love that! My friend asked if I would make her a twins baby card, so that’s what I chose to do. A boy and a girl. So sweet!
You can see I kept it simple. Honestly, I wasn’t sure what to do for a twins card until I remembered my Stampin’ Up! Zoo Babies set (critters) and Impression Obsession Straight From Heaven (sentiments). So I die cut some squares and stitched them on. The critters are popped up. Added the sweet Poppystamps Clothesline Hearts for a banner. I even used a bit of ribbon from my endless stash. The hearts and banner are cut from glittered DCWV Animal Crackers designer paper ‘cause this friend simply requires glitter on everything.
I’m heading out to the garden now. Watering and fertilizing today and that always takes plenty of time. I hope to see you again soon. Take care!
Stamps: Stampin’ Up! Zoo Babies, IO Straight From Heaven (sentiments) Paper: Neenah Classic Crest Solar White, CTHM Sunkiss Yellow, DCWV Animal Crackers designer paper Ink: Bashful Blue, Pretty in Pink, Versafine Onyx Black Accessories: Offray ribbon, Spellbinders Classic Squares Small, Poppystamps Clothesline Hearts, Paper Smooches Hearts

Ah, how sweet is this card, Leslie??? And twins - boy and girl! What a challenge she has ahead! But she is going to love this darling card! I love the two little critters and the sentiment and your great layout! Love the squares with the stitching and the clothesline! Hehe, reminds me of how she has a lot of laundry coming down the line, eh? Big hugs, sweet friend, and I'm sure you and Rich are enjoying life in the garden and doing lots of fun things together!
