It's Sunday so that means time again for another FAB challenge at The Paper Players. Today is also April Fool's Day (and my hubby's birthday) so our challange hostess this week AnneMarie, thought it would be fun to cook up a great theme challenge for all of you! Here's what she had to say-
"Well, since this challenge falls on April Fool's Day AND this month is the 36th anniversary of "Humor Month", I though it would be fun to share some smiles here at the Paper Players this week, with a Theme Challenge:"
When I first saw this challenge I will admit that I was a little stumped! I am not usually one for cutesy or punny images so it was once again My Digital Studio to the rescue!
Too cute, right?! And would you believe the only stamping on the card is those tiny stars from Itty Bitty Bits! Everything else was created in My Digital Studio using the Party Animal Download.
Here you can see the cute little owl up close. I printed it out as well as the party hat then the cut them out using my Paper Snips and popped it up using Dimensonals. For the banner I added Mini Silver Brads and had also printed it out a second time then cut out the center triangles and popped them up as well.
Now of course to create the "punny" part of the card I had to finish the inside too.
I love how bright and fun this card turned out. The colour combo is Daffodil Delight, Marina Mist, Poppy Parade, and Pumpkin Pie.
Well I have got to run as there is a birthday to be celebrated and some children to contain as I know they have been cooking up some practical jokes to play on us:)
Please make sure to check out what the amazing Design Team has come up with this week-they were far more clever with this challenge then I!
Have a great day!
This is way too cute! I love the colors and that owl looks fantastic. Especially love his eyes!!!

Your card is adorable! Love that you used MDS. What kind of printer do you have? I want to print in colour. My great Aunt's birthday is today. My grandpa's brother and his sister were both born on April 1st, 12 years apart...yep...April Fools indeed!

Bright, fun and very cute. A gorgeous card! Love the dimension in the layered banner and the brads are a nice touch.
