WELCOME to Challenge #112  - Let the Troubles Begin! 
5th Monday - One Week Challenge
From Monday, May 30th thru Sunday, June 6th

"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,  enjoy additional fun with Twisted Sister's Optional Twist below to earn extra chances in our random draw. 

THING 3:  Twisted Sister
says, "I discovered an occasion in June called 'Repeat Day'. Repeat Day is a day that offers an opportunity to do something or to use something over and over. Repeat Day is a day that offers an opportunity to do something or to use something over and over. 

"Let's give the occasion a nod by using the same stamped or digital image more than once on the front of your project. You may choose to use an exact duplicate OR use a companion image, provided it coordinates with your original image."

Companion Examples: If you select a cat, the first may be a  sleeping cat and the repeated companion can be a cat at play.  Another example is if you are using an umbrella - one may be open, the other closed.

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 in our Random Draw. Please identify each of them in your blog along with our Double Trouble link.

"Let's Brown Bag It"  




Thing 1:  Trouble Maker 
says, "
Hey, did you know Pack Rat Day is this month? C'mon, admit it... you're a Pack Rat and, like the rest of us scrappers, you're in good company. You know those crumpled brown paper grocery bags or the kind for packed lunches that you have probably accumulated? Before you throw them away, let's make use of the bags for some Kraft crafting. In other words in your project we want you to use that brown paper bag, Kraft paper, or similar for a card, treat bag, scrapbook page, etc."

You can stop here... 
OR  
play along with Twisted Sister's optional twist below to earn another chance in our random draw.  

Thing 3:  Twisted Sister 
says, "I've come out from hiding under my heaps of Things. It's really easy to let Things pile up. After all, surely each item has value or purpose. 'Ya just never know. I figure you're a Pack Rat if you can find something in your stash with spots and/or stripes. Use patterned papers, stencils, embossing, stamps, dies or freehand, etc., and add them to your project. Before you trash, check your stash, and for my optional twist show me "spots and/or stripes" in your project."  

If you have included  "spots and/or stripes" you have earned another chance in our Random Draw and are eligible for Double Dare's Dare below. 



Thing 2:  Double Dare 
says, "If you have met Thing 1's requirement using Kraft and have included spots and/or stripes in your project you are eligible to enter your project HERE  at Crafter's Cafe Challenge Blog.  

"If you have published your project on Sunday, May 15th, the opening date of Crafter's Cafe Challenge #285, you will be permitted to submit your project in our challenge on Monday, May 16th."
