THING 3: Twisted Sister

says, "Can you believe I got in trouble for singing:

     You look like a monkey! And act like one too!
Who would have thought? Especially when monkeys are so adorable and fun." Enjoy another verse of Twisted Sister's Happy Birthday Song.

Here is my card:

A couple weeks ago, I made a never-ending/infinity card (using this tutorial) for a graduation and my daughter told me it was the kind of card she wanted me to make for her birthday.  Since she LOVES monkeys, this was the perfect opportunity to get a jump on things, so I made her a birthday card.  Since the card is never ending, it really doesn't have a "front" or "back", but this is what I consider the "first" panel.  The sentiment reads "It's Your Birthday Go Bananas!"  This is what it looks like as it turns into the second panel:

This is the second panel:

As it turns into the third panel:

The third panel (she is going to be 11):

As it turns into the fourth panel:

And the fourth and final panel:

I left the bottom panel blank as that is where I will write a little something to her.  But, these cards are so fun and the fun doesn't stop!  So, the fourth panel also opens to turn back to the first panel:

I know she is going to love this, with all the adorable monkeys and the fun fold!  Thanks for stopping by!  I hope you will head over to the Double Trouble blog for all the details and to see what the Twisted Sisters came up with.

Supplies:

Stamps: Sugar Pea Designs "Chunky Monkey" (monkeys and accessories and sentiment on the first panel); PaperTrey Ink "Big Birthday Wishes" other sentiments

Dies: PaperTrey Ink number dies
