Secret Sister (Thing 2 Double Dare, aka Melanie) Prize:
And the winner is... Jean Chaney! Jean's comment was so meaningful... "memories of kitchen curtains blowing in a gentle breeze...". Her comment grabbed my heartstrings. I also looked at her adorable card - beautifully colored hedgehogs. 

Thank you, Jean.  We appreciate that you join in the challenge fun at our blog regularly. Your prize is a stamp set by Stampingbella "Teeny Tiny Townie with a Bouquet".  And thank you to everyone who played along with Secret Sister.  

Rules: Periodically one of our Secret Sisters (Thing 1, 2 or 3) will offer a surprise gift in their blog post. A small symbol will appear in the DTC post and the same symbol will also be hidden somewhere in the text or photos in the Secret Sister's blog post. When you find the symbol, make sure you comment in their blog and Secret Sister will select a winner from her comments. This is the only requirement to be eligible for a special gift.



We hope everyone enjoyed the challenge as much as we did.

Challenge #21 - Flowers (Bzzzzzz) and Optional Atlantic Hearts Sketches

Click HERE for an introduction to our challenge and HERE for complete guidelines.
Please take time to read so you don't get in trouble. Consider being a follower and use our participant badge or any photo from our current challenge for your blog posting.

NEW - Check out our Secret Sister's special gift in the guidelines.


 WELCOME to Challenge #21 - Let the Troubles Begin

"Hear the bzzzz... Flowers!"

  


THING 1: Trouble Maker
says, "Make It FLOWERS! I need flowers after this long winter!" Your challenge is to give us flower(s).

Don't stop here... consider Twisted Sister's optional twist (bzzzz...) and/or use the beautiful sketches below for your inspiration.



THING 3: Twisted Sister
says, "Have you heard the BUZZ? I just signed up for a class at the Pacific Horticultural Society on Valentine’s Day and it’s titled the 'Birds & the Bees'."  Don't let it bug you... add this optional twist by including "anything with wings" (bees, butterflies, birds), or something "B"-related or the words buzz or bzzzz on your project(s).


Join Twisted Sister in this catchy tune "The Birds & The Bees" by Jewel Aken!


THING 2: Double Dare
has selected two challenges (#302 and #303) at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenges, which are great inspiration sketches for creating Trouble Maker's "Make It Flowers" and Twisted Sister's optional twist. If you decide to use either or both of the sketches, you must link your project to the correct weekly sketch for the date of that challenge.

Note: If you are new to sketch challenges, it's fun and easy. Use the DT's cards for ideas or your own interpretation to create your project from the sketch. Feel free to change the orientation of the sketch... rotate the sketch or use its mirror image. You may also modify a square or rectangle into another shape as long as the basic sketch is visible in your project.
