WELCOME to Challenge #174 - Let the Troubles Begin!

"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.

Please note our Challenges are

temporarily beginning on Fridays. 

We have lost some of our Monday partners to closures. Temporarily we have adjusted the start dates of our February and March challenges to Friday start dates. 

We will be back to 1st and 3rd Monday challenges in April. 

WELCOME to Challenge #161  - Let the Troubles Begin! 

This Challenge runs from 

Friday, March 1st thru Thursday, March 14th 

"Pinch Proof"  

THING  1:  Trouble Maker 

says, "Did you know, as the tradition goes, wearing green on Saint Patrick's Day is supposed to make you invisible to leprechauns? They will pinch you when you come upon their radar if you don't wear green!

"Ouch! Make yourself 'Pinch Proof' by using green in your project. Your project does not have to be for St. Patrick's Day... you may celebrate any occasion but must include the color green".   

You can stop here...
OR, play along with Twisted Sister's optional twist to earn another chance in our random draw. 

THING  3:  Twisted Sister 

says, "Good ole St. Paddy's Day is all about findin' the Pot o' Gold... be it in a pint o' beer, or at the end of a rainbow. My optional twist is to include a "touch o' gold" on your project plus one more item from our partner's Inspiration List."

This is an OPTIONAL TWIST but you will be awarded an additional chance in Double Trouble's random draw prize if you include gold. 

THING  2:  Double Dare 

says, "If you have met Thing 1's requirement to include green, have included a "touch o' gold" and have added one more Thing from the Festive Friday's Inspo List, you are eligible to enter your project HERE at Festive Friday's Challenge #154 and you will qualify for an additional chance in our random drawing."

 

Special Notes:  Festive Friday's Inspiration List is to inspire you! You need only to incorporate THREE of their items in your project and let your creativity flow! And guess what? Your project doesn’t have to be about St. Patrick's Day – at all! The selected festivity is just a unique way to come up with a fun and interesting project from their inspiration list!

WELCOME to Challenge #139  - Let the Troubles Begin! 

Early Start - Friday, May 26th - Thursday, June 8th

"We Dare You"  

THING 1:  Trouble Maker 

says, "It's Dare Day on June 1st! We all know that it's human nature to challenge others with tasks to test not only our own courage but also the courage of others. So, I'm daring you to come out of your comfort zone, and fearlessly create a masculine project.

"And what better time to make a masculine card than for Father's Day which is Sunday, June 18th (in the USA).  This challenge is the perfect time to recognize fathers and other remarkable men in your life – a family member such as an uncle, a son, a nephew, or even a dear friend. 

Please don't stop here... 

I double-dog dare you to continue to Twisted Sister's optional twist to earn an additional chance in our random draw.  

THING 3:  Twisted Sister

says, "Many crafters have difficulty creating masculine projects but in my experience thinking about their interests and hobbies helps me develop an idea. Maybe the men and boys in your life enjoy sports or vehicles, perhaps even gardening or reading. 

While you are thinking about that... My optional twist is to use a plaid or check. The plaid or checked element can be hand-drawn, stamped, embossed, stenciled or patterned paper. 

Please don't stop here... 

I triple-dog dare you to continue to Double Dare's optional twist to earn an additional chance in our random draw.  

THING 2:  Double Dare 

says, "If you dared to make a masculine project and double-dog dared to include a 'plaid or check' in your project, you are almost ready to enter your project at the Festive Friday Card Making Challenge.  

Finally, my triple-dog dare is to select at least one more element from Festive Friday's 'Inspo List' #135 to enter your finished project into their challenge."  

Festive Friday Information:  Your project doesn’t have to be about Father's Day – at all!  The selected festivity is just a unique way to come up with a fun and interesting inspiration list!  Additionally, to be considered for the Festive Friday Faves, you cannot enter into more than five other challenges (including theirs). 

Here are our Things...
