It’s with mixed emotions that we bid farewell to Melanie as she steps away from our Design Team. For seven wonderful years, she has inspired us all with her unwavering dedication, reliability, incredible talent, and gorgeous designs. Her final project for the Double Trouble challenge—featuring those brilliant telephone images—was the perfect way to ring out an incredible era!
Thank you for being such a vital and cherished member of our creative family. You will be deeply missed, but we know your next chapter is going to be off the hook! We truly hope you'll call into our community again and drop by to guest design for future challenges... and the best part? You can completely hang up on the optional twists next time!

WELCOME to Challenge #227 - Let the Troubles Begin!
Challenge runs from Monday, Oct 12th thru Sunday, Oct 25th 

3-2-1- Recipe "Leafin' It Up to You"
Servings - Unlimited Portions of Fun
Specific information available by clicking on each ingredient.

Directions: You MUST include at least the required minimum of each ingredient for successful results and a chance in our random drawing... but you may enhance your project by using more than the ingredients stipulated.

THING 1: Trouble Maker
says, "We are still enjoying the crisp air and changing colors of the season. But as we head towards the end of the month, things start to become eerie, more than a little scary, and downright spooky. We love the lead-up to one of the biggest and spookiest events of the year… Halloween!

Create a colorful fall project using our 3-2-1 recipe above. But you're not restricted to Halloween. Because we don't want to leaf other observances behind, like Thanksgiving in Canada, India's Diwali, Oktoberfest, or Mexico's Día de los Muertos. We’re Leafin' It Up to You! That's right - it's your choice." 

You can stop here...
OR
Play along with Thing 3's Optional Twist and/or Thing 2's Optional Dare to earn additional chances in our random drawing.

THING 3: Twisted Sister
says, "Trouble Maker, as much as I'm enjoying the pumpkin takeover, Halloween is my favorite holiday in October. But that doesn't stop me from enjoying my pumpkin spice latte. So to celebrate both the season and the flavor, I'm making a pumpkin costume while snacking on an apple fritter and hot cider for an afternoon treat.

My optional twist will again be to carve out some fun by including pumpkins, gourds, harvest fruits, and vegetables, but let's also consider spooking things up with Halloween images. 

If you have included my optional twist in your project, you will earn another chance in our Random Drawing. 

THING 2:  Double Dare
Click on my clipart to the left for a sneak peek of Sketch #706 from our sister challenge, Try a Sketch On Tuesday. 

My optional dare is to combine this sketch with our Double Trouble 3-2-1 recipe 'Leafin' It Up to You'.  If you do, you will be awarded TWO additional chances in our random drawing. To prevent backlinking, please ensure your project is not posted, published, or entered anywhere before Oct 13th Date.
