As you can seen, I LOVE participating in the daily/weekly challenges at Funky Playground Designs (FPD). Not only do they help me think outside the box and try new things, but I also gain the chance to win $5 to the FPD shop for every challenge completed. So, if you need some inpsiration for your scrapbooking, or if you would just like the chance to win some free scrap goodies, I highly recommend that you check out the FPD forum. You'll have to register first, but it's a really fun group of gals to hang out with and the designers at FPD are seriously amazing.

Now, to the "other stuff." Timed seemed to move really slowly on Sunday, so I pulled out my paints and started working on a piece of wood that's been sitting under our desk for over a year...the girls decided they wanted to "help" and started painting on the plaque with their watercolors and some watered-down acrylics...I appreciated their enthusiasm, but had to paint a couple of extra coats to cover-up their contributions. Anyway, here's what I made in just a couple of hours with some acrylic paint, a few scrapbooking supplies, some old ribbon, and a black ink pad:

And, I managed to put a few cards together as well...
