After A Great Weekend Monday!

Happy Monday everyone! Hoping everyones weekend went well, I know mine did. Today what I have for you is a very simple challenge (So I think). It's called a peek-a-boo challenge. All you have to do is come up with a couple of ways to hide some of the items on your page, such as journaling, pics or even elements. Now these things can be hidden with a window, slider or whatever you can come up with.
Here is what our DT came up with.
