WELCOME to Challenge #113 - Let the Troubles Begin!

This Challenge runs from
Monday, June 6th thru Sunday, June 19th

"Let's Go Masculine"

Thing 1: Trouble Maker
says, "Father's Day is just around the corner... this is a good time to honor your Dad or someone special who has had an impact on your life, but your project doesn't have to be for Father's Day. I'm challenging you to create a masculine project, e.g., Birthday, Thank You, congratulations... any occasion for a favorite guy is acceptable."

IF you want to be a little ambitious and boost your creativity, our partner has this sketch that is perfect for including masculine elements. Feel free to change the orientation of the sketch... rotate the sketch or use its mirror image. IF you use this sketch you will receive an additional chance in our random draw.

In Summary:

1. Thing 1 Requirement: Create a masculine Project

2. Optional: It's your choice to use the TSOT sketch above.

You can stop here...

play along with Twisted Sister's optional twist below.

Thing 3: Twisted Sister
says, "I love a man in plaid and/or stripes... the flannel shirts have been put away for the summer, but who cares? It really doesn't matter because I'm sure you have hidden plaids and/or stripes in your stash any time of the year. Check your stash for stamps, embossing folders, stencils, etc., or give us a free-hand design of a plaid and/or stripe."

NEED HELP? Here are some great masculine card samples from 2011 Joyfully Made Designs using plaids and/or stripes that you might be inspiring and could be incorporated into the TSOT sketch above.

This is an Optional Twist and if you have included a plaid and/or stripe in your project you will earn another chance in our Random Draw.

Thing 2: Double Dare
says, "If you have met Thing 1's requirement to create a masculine card and have used Try Stampin' on Tuesday Sketch #559, you are are eligible to enter your project HERE and earn another chance for our Random Draw."

Please note that Try Stampin' on Tuesday starts on Tuesday, June 7th. If you post your project at Double Trouble on Monday, the 6th, you are still eligible to enter your project at TSOT. We are permitted to backlink for that Monday only... so be sure to visit again on Tuesday so you can post your card to the TSOT Challenge using the link provided above.
