Visit the Magnolia-licious Challenge Blog for complete challenge details and how you can join in the fun. Check out the fabulous cards that my DT teammates have created to inspire you.
As for me, I've made a peek-a-boo card for the challenge:
Here's a short video to better show you the inter-active feature of this card. It's only 20 seconds long. Warning: it comes with music as I was trying to drown out some background noises...hee hee.
Cool, eh? If you're interested in making a similar card, here's the link to the Peek-A-Boo Card Tutorial.
