And  here's what I came up with:


I used the adorable Go Bananas set and some papers from Echo Park's This & That Charming collection. I went with kind of a window look, with six squares cut out of the woodgrain panel. The plaid border at the bottom is die-cut with TCP's Big Scalllop border CutUps die.
