Paper Players #89 - Theme Challenge from Anne Marie

Well hello there and welcome to another fun week here at the Paper Players! Anne Marie Hile here, as your hostess this week and before we get to the challenge at hand, I want to share some Paper Players news with you. First up, we want to extend a HUGE thank you to the lovely and talented Sherry Eckblad for joining us as our Guest Designer for the month of March. Sherry, we couldn't have been happier to have you as a part of the team and we thank you for your amazing creative inspiration. Please visit Sherry at her blog, The Button Junkie to check out her work. 

For the month of April, we are excited to announce that the fabulous Shirley Pumpkin is joining the Players as a Guest Designer. Here is a little info about Shirley, in her own words: 
Hi, My name is Shirley. I have been stamping for more than 8 years. I went to a stamping event that my friend, Terry, was doing back in 2004 and was hooked that day and signed up with Stampin' Up. I am married and have three kids - Levi, 13, Calvin, 10,  and Sabrina, 24. I did not know how much I was going to love making cards. I do it every day! I took over my sons' TV room last year and made it my stamp room. I still have a TV in the room, so a lot of the time my husband and sons are sitting at the tables watching TV while I am stamping, so it is kind of our family room now. I have had quite a few hobbies in the past,  including: woodworking (I even made some small cabinets), cross stitch, painting, wreath making, and flower arranging. Cards and scrapbooking are my favorites (plus no wood dust and I don't have to wear a mask). I am so excited to be picked to be a Guest Designer at Paper Players. They are a bunch of really talented girls that I admire.

Welcome to the team, Shirley! Now, let's get to this week's challenge. Today is April 1st...already. Can you believe it? 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:
