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".  



For inspiration... here are our Things:

Three Colors: orange, green, purple

WELCOME to Challenge #176 - Let the Troubles Begin! 
5th Monday - One-Week Challenge
From Monday, Sep 30th thru Sunday, Oct 6th
"SomeThing, AnyThing, EveryThing"  


THING 1: Trouble Maker
says, "It's time again to grab your bone folder and other crafty stuff and create something new. We think this is easier than folding a fitted sheet! It's time to use the stuff you have in your stash (new and/or old) for our one-week special of SomeThing, AnyThing, EveryThing (aka AnyThing Goes)." 

You can stop here...
OR, you can choose to include Twisted Sister's Optional Fun Twist below to earn an additional chance in our random drawing. 
   

THING 3:  Twisted Sister
says, "Hey! Monday, Sept 30th is National Mud Pack Day... let's celebrate!  And who takes a mud celebration most seriously? Before you go rolling in a mud puddle, ask yourself,  'What makes a pig in the mud as happy as... well, a pig in the mud?'  

"My optional twist is to include a pig(s) or piglet(s) in your project with or without mud... Or, if you don't have a piggy, you can instead choose to combine both browns and pinks in your project. It's your choice. 
OR, Use both a pig and the colors to qualify for two chances in the random drawing." 




THING 2:  Double Dare 
says, "I dare you to multiply the fun by linking your project with any previous partner(s) listed below. You will qualify for extra chances in our random drawing. 

"Make sure you read their guidelines carefully and observe their dates. We don't want you to get into trouble."

This means each time you link to one of our previous partners with the same card you gain an additional chance. Please identify each partner in your blog along with our Double Trouble link.


Here are our Things...

WELCOME to Challenge #175 - Let the Troubles Begin!
This Challenge runs from
Monday, Sep 16th thru Sunday, Sep 29th
"Any Way You Punch It"


Thing 1:  Trouble Maker 
says, "National Punch Day (Sept 20) is about three things.  1. A sweet or spicy drink that is ladled from a punch bowl, 2. A crafting tool, or 3. The kind of punch that you dole out with your fists. Can you guess which two we are celebrating? 

"Hopefully, your selection agreed with mine... but first 1. let's pour your favorite punch or beverage into a spill-proof container and go to your craft space. If you let us know in the comments what beverage you poured you will earn an additional chance in our random drawing.

2. "Our challenge requirement is to go through your stash, choose at least one punch and/or die to use in your project. 

3. NO Fist Punching allowed."

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, "Hey! This sketch is from our sister challenge at Try a Sketch On Tuesday. We think it would be fun to use because it is perfect for punch cuts and/or die cuts. 

"My optional twist is to use TSOT Sketch #655. If you have used this sketch in your project you have earned another chance in our random drawing. 

"Feel free to change the orientation of the sketch... rotate the sketch or use its mirror image. Adding a sentiment is optional. You may vary the shapes as long as the basic sketch is recognizable in your project."  


Thing 2:  Double Dare
says, "If you have met Thing 1's requirement, using punch(es) and/or die(s) and have used the TSOT sketch, you are eligible to enter your project HERE at Try a Sketch On Tuesday Challenge #655  for another chance in our random drawing. 

Special Notes: Try a Sketch On Tuesday starts on Tuesday, September 17th. If you post your project at Double Trouble on Monday, September 16th, you are still eligible to enter your project at TSOT. You are permitted to backlink for that Monday only. So be sure to visit again on Tuesday, September 17th, and post your entry to the TSOT Challenge using the link provided above.
