Papertake Weekly - It's time for some FUN!!

Wow, can you believe how fast the weeks are flying by??!!  It's time for a new challenge at Papertake Weekly, and this week Dawny's new challenge is FUN, FUN, FUN! You can interpret that any way you want to.  We are sponsored this week by the fab folks over at the Hobby House!

I took a class last weekend at Scrapbook Paradise, and I had so much fun putting this frame together that I HAD to use it for this challenge!!  This was designed and taught by Darlene. LOVE her work!! This frame is amazing and I can't wait to see it with a picture in it! Unfortunately, this picture of it does NOT do this justice. It's really washed out. This is when I wish I'd gotten Ott floor lamps instead of all desk lamps.

Peek a Boo card for Papertake Weekly

Hey everyone!  I hope you've enjoyed your weekend and are having n awesome start to the week! It's the start of a new challenge at Papertake Weekly, and this week is Things with Wings. Interpret it how you may! We are sponsored this week by the fabulous folks over at The Paper Nest Dolls!  So once I saw the adorable Peek-a-Boo card over on my amazingly talented friend Norma's blog, I knew I had to give it a go.  I actually made TWO of them this weekend. LOL! And they won't be the last ones, that's for sure! This one is the 5 1/2" size. She also has a tutorial for a 6" size that will hold a slightly larger stamp. I really wanted to use some Kraftin' Kimmie images but they were just too big for either size card. :(

So here's the front....

And here's the inside once you open it up...

For my card today, I'm featuring a super fun image from Art Impressions, Hog Wild Birthday #4472.  I put her on an action Wobble so she wiggles!  I must say, as much as I love it, I'm really getting rather sick of using this paper. LOL! But I bought WAY too much for the classes I taught at Yosemite,  so I'm trying to use it up. I think it's become a hopeless cause, so I'm thinking I will be putting it away until next summer. :)
