PLEASE NOTE

This is our last temporary Friday start date.

WELCOME to Challenge #174 - Let the Troubles Begin!
This Challenge runs from
Friday Aug 30th, thru Sunday, Sept 15th
"Scrapper's Fruity GORP Recipe"



Thing 1:  Trouble Maker 
says, "Wow! It's time to celebrate National Trail Mix Day on Saturday, August 31st. 

Trail Mix features a colorful and tasty treat often called GORP   a combination of certain cereals, nuts, pretzels, raisins, dried fruits, M&Ms, etc.  Sounds delicious, but we also have our own Scrappers Fruity GORP recipe. 

"We require you to use your favorite fruit(s) in a fruity color mix.  Shop your stash for stamps, stencils, patterned papers, Washi tape, etc. to assist in creating your project. Choose images and items depicting both fruit(s) and fruity colors." 

You can stop here... 
OR  
Play along with Twisted Sister's optional twist below.

Thing 3: Twisted Sister
says, "Double Trouble's GORP requirement has already provided you with two elements (fruits and fruity colors) from Festive Friday's Harvest Inspo List. My optional twist is to include at least one more element from the Harvest Inspo List to enhance your project.  

"There are many choices: Add a scalloped edge to your frame, create a circular shaped card, put your fruit in a basket, use a background of lattice or gingham, etc. It's your choice. If you have met my optional twist you have earned another chance in our random draw." 


Thing 2 Double Dare 
says, "If you have met Thing's one GORP requirement, and have included at least three or more elements from the Harvest Inspo List (see my clipart to the left), then enter your card at Festive Friday #167 'Harvest' Challenge."  

Special Notes:  Your project doesn’t have to be about Harvest at all! Don’t believe us, take a look at the Design Team projects at Festive Friday's Blog. The selected festivity is a unique way to help you create a fun and interesting project! 

Double Trouble will keep this challenge open through Sunday, Sept 15th, but Festive Friday will close its challenge on Wednesday, Sept 11th.

"Most of us would like everyone to be happy. Right? It can be contagious when you share a cheerful demeanor and a positive attitude. We invite you to join us for Happiness Happens Day celebrated on August 8.

OR  
play along with Twisted Sister's optional twist below to earn another chance in our random drawing.  

THING  3:  Twisted Sister 
says, "The second week is National Smile Week. Happiness goes hand in hand with a smile. So... be the reason someone smiles today when they see your project by including an Emoji, Happy Face, pun, smile sentiment, or other similar item or symbol. Use your imagination to make us smile."

Optional Twist:  If you have included a "Smile" element in your project you earn another chance in our random drawing. 






THING  2:  Double Dare 
says, "If you have met Thing 1's Happiness requirement, whether or not you used a smile element, you are eligible to enter your project HERE at If You Give a Crafter a Cookie #195  'Be Happy' and you will qualify for an additional chance in our random drawing."
