Early-years anniversary - possibly my favorite card yet

Using some old cardstock my friend gave me years ago, a bit of old cameo coral (former SU! color), and a few newer items, put together two of these beauties. 

A commission!

My mother had 5 siblings. All of them married and had kids. Many (even most?) of those kids are now married with kids. My mom wants birthday and anniversary cards for 2016. The list, typed in Word in Times New Roman size 12, is 2 pages long. Go go Barbie go!

Lots of inspiration this time:

• Due to a change in family needs, we will be saying goodbye to our dogwalker of several weeks
• I'm still in stash-busting mode, trying to move out the old papers and colors to make room for the new
• The current Less-is-More challenge (http://simplylessismoore.blogspot.com/2015/05/week-222-colour.html)
• The current Retro Sketches challenge (http://retrosketches.blogspot.com/2015/05/retrosketches-163.html)

As usual, variations on a theme. :-)
