WELCOME to Challenge #179  - Let the Troubles Begin!
This Challenge runs from
Monday, November 4th thru Sunday, November 17th
"LOTSA DELICIOUS LAYERS"

THING 1:  Trouble Maker
says, "Are you considering a special treat for a family dinner but running short on a theme? Well, National Nacho Day on November 6th could be the solution. This "official" Nacho Day will come and go but it's never too late to enjoy the event with a crowd-pleasing platter of Nachos Supreme. There are many ways to serve those nacho chips using delicious layers.  

"Let's carry this idea from the dinner table to the craft room. Our requirement is to create a project with lotsa layers... or at least three... delicious layers. Your card base does not count as a layer but cardstock, patterned paper, doilies, foil, die cuts, you name it... can be layered onto your card base and does not need to resemble nachos."  

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

THING 3:  Twisted Sister  
says: "After enjoying those layers of deliciousness, a Pumpkin Latte was just what I needed. First to the kitchen... and then to my craft room with my Pumpkin Latte  to complete my project.  

"Inspiration Station is partnering with us.  Their Prompt #67 is in sync with our optional twist. How did it inspire you?  Emotions, Colors, Images, Seasons, Travels, Holidays, Adventures, Memories. Your interpretation of the inspiration photo is your own... let your Creativity Flow."

This is an OPTIONAL TWIST but you will be awarded an additional chance in Double Trouble's random drawing. 

Deja-Brew!  Don't Miss Out!
It's time for our yearly participation (November 1-8) at the 2024 Fall/Winter Coffee Lover's Blog Hop (a non-seasonal coffee theme).  It's BEAN one of our favorite Blog Hops and if you've BEAN there before, this Blog Hop is ESPRESSO-ly meant for you. 

So, if your project has included a coffee theme you too can participate HERE at the 2024 Fall/Winter Coffee Lover's Blog Hop for projects posted from November 4-8 and be eligible for a second random drawing.    

Another PERK?  If you have included "Red + Green" on a Christmas coffee  theme card, you can also enter the Coffee Lover's challenge at "Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge #35 'Red + Green'" and be included in the random drawing for coffee theme. 

THING 2:  Double Dare
says, "If you have met our requirement of 'Lotsa Layers' Link your project to The Inspiration Station 'Prompt #67' HERE to qualify for another chance in our random drawing. This challenge also requires you to include a brief statement within your post as to how their Inspiration Prompt #67 influenced your project." 

And/Or

WELCOME to Challenge #177  - Let the Troubles Begin!
This Challenge runs from
Monday, October 7th thru Monday, October 28th
"Fall Bat Color Challenge"


THING 1: Trouble Maker
says, "Oooh! It's Fall... and Halloween is lurking.  Don't leave, come Bat!  Let's hang out!  

"Check out our Fall 'Bat' Colors in the clipart to the left. These are the perfect colors for Fall and/or Halloween projects.   

"Our requirement is to choose at least three (3) of our 'Bat' Colors (purple, green, blue, orange, yellow, and red).  (Update 10/13 for clarification - Ooops, there is a Brown bat you can choose from too).  

In addition to your three chosen bat colors, neutrals, plus gold and silver are free to use for added colors. Let's see what you create with your choice of colors.

You can stop here...
OR, you can choose to include Twisted Sister's Optional Twist below. 

THING 3:  Twisted Sister 
says, "My optional twist is to search your stash and select at least one die that represents Fall or Halloween then include it on your project. How simple is that?" 

Optional Twist:  If you have included a die-cut in your project you will earn another chance in our random drawing. 

THING  2:  Double Dare 
says, "If you have met Thing 1's requirement, have used at least three of the colors, and have included at least one die cut you are eligible to enter your project HERE at Crafting - A Cut Above and you will qualify for an additional chance in our random drawing." 
 
Special Notes:  "A Cut Above" defines a die-cut as the result of using a die-cutting machine, manual or electronic, not a purchased pre-fabricated die-cut, a cut-apart, ephemera, or punch.  

Double Trouble will keep this challenge open until October 28th for the full month using the same close date as "A Cut Above".
