says, "This challenge is a splash!" Include some form of water to celebrate "Showers" (Spring, Wedding, Baby, Housewarming). Or, give us watercolor technique or paper background, splatter or rain drops using products that represent water (liquid glass, glossy accents).
You can stop here ...
Or you can opt to use the TicTacToe board below so that you can enter into a second challenge.
says "I live in the Pacific Northwest and raindrops keep fallin' on my head (sing-along with BJ Thomas). To keep the raindrops from fallin' on my head include a bumbershoot on your project."
This is an OPTIONAL TWIST but you will be awarded an additional chance in Double Trouble's random prize draw if you include a *Bumbershoot.
*Trivia: "Bumbershoot" is a predominantly American nickname, one that has been recorded as a whimsical, slightly irreverent handle for umbrellas since the late 1890s. As with most slang terms, the origins of "bumbershoot" are a bit foggy, but it appears that the "bumber" is a modification of the "umbr-" in "umbrella" and the "shoot" is an alteration of the "-chute" in "parachute" (since an open parachute looks a little like an umbrella).

FYI - the link to Melanie's blog isn't working.
Thanks Janet, the link has been corrected.
I found your site through Julie Gearinger's post. I'm so glad I clicked on her link because your challenge appears to be so much fun. I'll return later to see if I can play. My eyes are not awake yet so I am having difficulty reading. Hurry up eye meds, I have business to take care of at Double Trouble and JOS! Beautiful DT cards btw.
Kampin' Karen, Glad you came to visit us and would love to see you join us in this and/or future fun challenges at Double Trouble.
