This Challenge runs from
"Dream Bubble"
Monday, April 5th - Sunday, April 18th

Thing 1: Trouble Maker

says, "Let's celebrate April 14th, 'Look Up at the Sky Day'. As I'm looking up at the sky, I realize that no matter where we are, day or night, rain or shine, the sky is all the same... what we see may just be arranged a little differently. While gazing up at the sky, my dream bubble is taking me to warmer weather. Take your dream bubble and create a card with your favorite Summer activity or vacation spot.

You can stop here...

play along with Twisted Sister's optional twist below to earn another chance at our random draw.

Thing 3: Twisted Sister

says, "Trouble Maker, I think you have your head in the clouds with all that silly talk about dreams and bubbles. Let's see just how many summertime dreamers and sky gazers we have who will use clouds or word bubbles featuring a sentiment."

Optional Twist: If you have included at least one cloud or word bubble with a sentiment in your project you will earn another chance for our Random Draw.

Thing 2: Double Dare

says, "If you have met Thing 1's requirement to create a Summer theme or activity, you are eligible to enter your project HERE for Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #516 "Dreaming of Summer". Cupcake Inspirations will close a day earlier, Saturday, April 17th... so don't forget to enter your project before they close.

This is optional but if you enter their challenge you get another chance for our random draw prize.

WELCOME to Challenge #80 - Let the Troubles Begin

This Challenge runs for one week only from
Monday, March 29th thru Sunday, April 4th

"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)."

You can stop here...

OR, you can choose to include Twisted Sister's Optional Twist below to earn additional chances at our random draw.

THING 3: Twisted Sister

says, "Hey, did you know that National Crayon Day is March 31st? Do you know what to do to celebrate National Crayon Day? You guessed it. It's a day to celebrate the joy of coloring. I could color until I'm blue in the face... well, I don't want to color my face blue, I just mean I think it's fun to color!"

Using your favorite coloring medium (crayons, pens, pencils, watercolors, chalk, etc.), show your artistic skills using a stamped or digital image on your project that you have colored. Pre-colored and digitally colored images are not acceptable. Now don't keep us guessing - describe what medium you have used to add color to your image.

This is an OPTIONAL TWIST but you will be awarded an additional chance in Double Trouble's random draw if you include this twist in your project.

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 Draw."

"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 a previous partner with the same card, you gain an additional chance. Please identify each of them in your blog along with our Double Trouble link.

WELCOME to Challenge #79 - Let the Troubles Begin!
This Challenge runs from
Monday, March 15, 2021, thru Sunday, March 28, 2021.
"A Magical Day"

Thing 1: Trouble Maker says, "We are going to recognize 'Everything You Think is Wrong Day' on March 15th, a day when nothing goes right. Picture this: Your crafting project just went wrong! Have you ever had a day like that... a day when nothing was going right? Yeah, me too."

"Don't give up... because things that went wrong will magically correct themselves at the stroke of midnight and we will be celebrating 'Everything You Do is Right Day' on March 16th! To get to this happy day, you had to get past yesterday."

"So let's include something MAGICAL on your crafting project (i.e. gnome, fairy, magician, wand, rabbit in a hat, pixie dust, unicorn, mermaid, wizard, Disney, etc.)."

You can stop here...
OR
you can continue to Twisted Sister's optional twist below.

Thing 3: Twisted Sister
says, "Trouble Maker, you were right! Everything went completely wrong yesterday but today is another day... it was magical and today everything seems to be going right. Whether or not you decide to play along with my twist we hope everything goes right for you."

"My optional twist is to use at least one metal die (a frame, an image, a sentiment, etc.) in your project and any brand is acceptable. If you have included a die(s) on your project you will receive another chance at the DTC random draw and you will have met Double Dare's requirement below."

Thing 2: Double Dare

says, "If you have created Thing 1's "magical" theme and have included at least one metal die on your project you are eligible to enter it at Dies R Us #165 HERE.
OR
If you have used any brand of craft dies that Dies R Us sells in their store, you will be eligible for their random draw and earn a $10 gift certificate at their store. Your die may already qualify... click HERE to view the list of brands sold at DRU on the left-hand sidebar. Don't keep us guessing... include the brand of die used in your post."

"Wearin' o' the Green"

Thing 1: Trouble Maker:

says, "Are you Irish, me lads and lassies? Well, the saying goes everyone is a wee bit Irish on St. Patrick's Day. Let's celebrate St. Patrick's Day and bring on the green. Dress up your project using green. This does not have to be a St. Paddy's Day project and you may celebrate any occasion."

You can stop here...

OR, play along with Twisted Sister's optional twist to earn another chance at our random draw.

Thing 3: Twisted Sister

says, "I love a celebration and feel a parade coming on... it's time to bring out the bagpipes and sporran and choose which of my kilts to wear. Include a plaid in your project, and it doesn't have to be tartan plaid. Any plaid or check you create by using patterned papers, stamps, embossing folders, stencils, or free-hand is acceptable. Just tell us briefly in your description so we know the method you chose for creating the plaid or check."

Optional Twist: Include any check or plaid in your project and earn another chance for the Random Draw.

Thing 2: Double Dare

says, "If you have met Thing 1's requirement to "Wearin' o' the Green" and have used a plaid design in your project, you are eligible to enter your project HERE for Use Your Stuff.

This is optional but if you enter their challenge you get another chance for the Double Trouble random draw prize.

NOTE: Use Your Stuff has an earlier close date so make sure you enter their challenge on or before Saturday, May 13th. If you play along with BOTH challenges and leave a comment on their blog post, they are giving away a small prize to one lucky winner. Since they have a limited number of entries allowed for their inlinkz you may only enter 1x for their challenge.
