WELCOME to Challenge #98  - Let the Troubles Begin!

Monday, November 29th, thru Sunday, December 5th 

"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, "This Twist is on you... choose at least one element from my card below and include it on your project!  You may repeat my colors, my images, my shapes, my layout, or my embellishments. Choose at least one element, i.e. dry embossing, snowflakes, twine, plaid, banner, cookies/sweets, dots, etc.  Don't keep us guessing... tell us what element(s) you selected as YOUR TWIST and include in your post description! 

This is an OPTIONAL TWIST but you will be awarded an additional chance in Double Trouble's random draw.   

Additionally, I have some Blog Candy I want to give away... Leave a comment on my blog HERE and you will be eligible for another random draw prize."  


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.
