1 card 2 challenges Punches and In the kitchen

I have to say that I just love the Paper Playful blog.  I ran across a challenge, and one other challenge that helped me make the cut card below.  

The reason I like them is because they make you think beyond what you normally would do for your card.  Well at least for me anyway, I am a minimalist.No, maybe I am just lazy, or impatient.  Maybe all 3 apply?  I don't know but I this is why I like challenges.

I started making this card for the kitchen challenge at: http://stampingwithdragon.blogspot.com/

The theme there is: IN THE KITCHEN

I was super happy with it, however it didnt have that lovely punched border on the top or the sides until I ran across the challenge at Scrapbook Book Blessings Club.
