"Spring Florals"  


THING  1:  Trouble Maker 
says, "As winter ends in the Northern Hemisphere, perhaps you see and hear signs of spring. The longer days, the twitter of birds, and the budding of flowers help to cheer us after a cold winter. To celebrate the coming of spring, create a project using a favorite floral image."  

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, "Since Easter is almost here, I'm reminiscing over the old song, 'In your Easter bonnet with all the frills upon it'.  Memories of my collection of bonnets with all the frills upon them come to my mind. Perhaps you remember floral-laden bonnets with decorations and embellishments of bunnies, chicks, eggs, etc. My optional twist is to include an Easter element and/or bonnets or baskets with your Spring Florals project."  

Optional Twist:  If you have included my optional twist 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 to create a Spring Floral project you are eligible to enter your project HERE at the Beautiful Blossoms Challenge and qualify for an additional chance in our random drawing.

Beautiful Blossoms Mood Board #15.  Beautiful Blossoms is an Anything Goes Flower / Floral challenge. A Mood Board is provided as an inspiration tool but it is not required. However, your project must have flowers(s)/floral(s) as part of the design.

"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!

"HOODIE-HOO! Celebration" 


Thing 1: Trouble Maker
says, "In the Northern Hemisphere Hoodie-Hoo Day opens on February 20th, and it's time once again to celebrate with Creative Creases on their Third Anniversary (February 2024) for their Anything Goes Fun Fold Challenges.  But first... don't forget to step outside, wave your hands over your head, and chant, 'Hoodie-Hoo!' to start the celebration, then come back in and create a Fun Fold card.  

"We have again provided below several suggested links to tutorials for easy Fun Folds... or if you are experienced with Fun Folds choose one of your own favorites. (Don't forget to give credit if you use someone's tutorial.)"

Thing 3:  Twisted Sister
says, "WOW... Leap Day is the 29th of this month and we have never had an opportunity to use this day until this year and we won't have this opportunity to observe for another four years.  So let's take a leap into my optional twist and celebrate Hoppy Leap Day by featuring creatures that hop, skip, or leap.  

"You may find some of these in your own garden... examples are wallabies/kangaroos, rabbits/hares, grasshoppers, jumping spiders, frogs/toads, crickets, and fleas. (I absolutely refuse to create a project with fleas, but you can.)  OR, maybe you see a person - even a child - in your garden enjoying hop, skip, or leap games." 



Thing 2Double Dare
says, "How fun it would be to send a Leap Day greeting card to a friend for that one extra day in the year? And make it very special by creating a fun-fold card that is linked to our partner, Creative Creases. Creative Creases Challenges are repetitive two-week challenges exclusively for Fun Folds. If you have created a Fun Fold, with or without a Leap Day optional twist, you may enter your project HERE at Creative Creases Challenge #76 for an additional chance in Double Trouble's random draw.
