Challenge 13 - Some Thing, Any Thing and Every Thing

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

WELCOME to Challenge #13 - Let the Troubles Begin
Whoopi - there are five Mondays in this month. Time for our 
"Something, Anything and Everything" 
ONE WEEK ONLY CHALLENGE 






THING 1: Trouble Maker 
For some the number 13 is synonymous with bad luck. It's considered unlucky to have 13 guests at a dinner party, many buildings don't have a 13th floor and most people avoid getting married or buying a house on a day marked by this number. Some superstitious folks even avoid driving on Friday the 13th. 


"Who says the 13th has to be unlucky? And besides it's a Monday not a Friday?" Let's turn it around and join our Double Trouble's Lucky #13 Challenge. Trouble Maker says this is a Free for All challenge so have a little fun creating with "Some Thing", "Any Thing" and "Every Thing". Remember, this is a one-week challenge. 



THING 3:
Twisted Sister agrees #13 can be a lucky number. Include your lucky number on a project. For example, this can be a die-cut, hand-drawn or stamped number, a pair of dice, playing cards, etc. This is an OPTIONAL TWIST but it's so easy that we hope everyone will join in. If you do the twist, Double Trouble will give you an extra chance in our random draw.




THING 2:
Double Dare has more than doubled the fun. Link up your project with any of our previous partners for an additional chance for the Double Trouble random draw.

If your project was entered into one of our previous partner challenges below and have met their requirements, include in your Blog Your project for Double Trouble could meet the requirements of the challenges below providing you meet their requirements. So make sure you read their instructions carefully and dates that they are open .... we don't want you to get in Trouble with them. Please include in the comment section below or in your Blog any of these other challenges you chose to team with.

Twisted Sister is still trying to get unraveled from the toilet paper mummy trouble

that I was in last week.  I'll have my project posted soon. 

In the meantime here's a photo from our weekend fun. 

We had 42 friends and family at our annual Pumpkin Carving Party.  We survived a down pour, feasted on soups and dessert, carved pumpkins and watched an "outdoor movie", Casper!

WELCOME to Challenge #11 - Let the Troubles Begin...


THING 1 Trouble Maker 
wants you to use Black and White 


  + One Additional Color (and only one)
 ...so make sure you pick your favorite color for my new 'do and I will color my hair at the next challenge with the majority of the same color from our entrants.  


THING 3 Twisted Sister 
says "rev" up your engines and salute the "Boys" in our lives with a special project and show off your boy's special "wheelie" toy - train, plane, auto, truck, bicycle, skateboard, etc.  Even if it has a dead engine or a flat tire just sitting in the garage it's okay to use as long as it has a wheel. This is an OPTIONAL TWIST but you will be awarded an additional chance in Double Trouble's random prize draw if you use it.   



THING 2 Double Dare 
says if you "Used black and white and one more color." you can enter your project in The Crafter's Cafe Challenge #205.  You can link your project HERE whether you use Twisted Sister's option or not, and you will receive an additional chance at the Double Trouble Random Draw.     





The randomly selected winner of Double Trouble #11 will receive a prize. If you are in North America, you will receive their "Bag of Things" and if you are outside of North America, you will receive a monetary gift from a popular digital company!
