If you're looking for an insane paper related challenge then check this out.  I found these (and a TON more) amazing paper toy printables on the Canon Creative Park website.  The selection of printable toys on their site is impressive.  I've been too intimidated to try any of the moving toys, but I reeeeally want to.
