We encourage you to add some fun... choose to participate in either 
Twisted Sister's Thing 3 and/or Double Dare's Thing 2 
 to earn additional chances to our random draw.  


WELCOME to Challenge #130  - Let the Troubles Begin! 
This challenge runs from Friday, January 20th  thru Sunday, February 5th
"Keep Us In Stitches" 



Thing 1:  Trouble Maker 
says, "I love to see people laughing and enjoying themselves. Some people can keep us in stitches with their humor. Best of all, crafters frequently share many projects using stitches created with tools they have in their stash. Our challenge is to include stitching on your project using dies, embossing folders, patterned paper, faux techniques, piercing tools, hand-drawn or even sewn by machine. Stitching on a card is SEW fun and SEW pretty!  It's your turn to choose your stitching technique and Keep Us in Stitches."  

 
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, "Oh my, stitching was so much fun that I find myself all stitched out and punchy with silly laughter.  I concentrated on it for far too long. Paper crafting is like magic... we can wave our imaginary wands and move from stitching and laughter into a world of fantasy. Fantasy holds so many mythical or magical creatures, like fairies, unicorns, witches, wizards, dragons, gnomes, mermaids, and more! And they have magic accessories, too. My optional twist is for you to use your choice of any mythical or magical creature and/or magic accessories among your stitches."

Optional Twist:  If you have included my optional twist you will have earned another chance in our Random Drawing. 

Thing 2:  Double Dare 
says, "If you have met Thing 1's requirement to 'Keep Us in Stitches' and Thing 2's optional twist to include a 'mythical or magical element' you are eligible to enter your project at The Fairy and The Unicorn Challenge for January."  

Special Notes:   The Fairy and The Unicorn Challenge is a monthly challenge and will close on January 31st; so make sure you enter your card before their close date. However, they re-open Saturday, February 4th and depending upon their requirement you may be able to ener your projects entered on February 4th and 5th.  

Double Trouble will continue this same challenge from February 1st and balance of our usual 5th-week challenge to meet our 1st Monday Challenge in February.

WELCOME to Challenge #129 - Let the Troubles Begin!

"Cuddle Up" 

There are several parts to this challenge, 
but the only requirement is to play along with Thing 1. 
We encourage you to add some fun... try our options by participating in either 
Twisted Sister's Thing 3 and/or Double Dare's Thing 2 
 to earn additional chances to our random draw.  


Thing 1:  Trouble Maker
says, "Today is Cuddle Up Day so let's celebrate and stir up some trouble in Double Trouble's Kitchen with a Warm and Cuddly 3-2-1 Recipe that can be used for any occasion." 

Recipe:     Warm & Cuddly 3-2-1 Recipe
Servings:  Unlimited Portions of Fun
Ingredients:  
     3  Colors of your choice     
     2  Layers 
     1  Warm & Cuddly Image 
         Use a stamped or digital image, or 
         one that is die-cut or hand-drawn

Directions: To enhance your recipe you may use more than the ingredients stipulated but you must include at least the required minimum. 

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

Thing 3:  Twisted Sister 
says, "Look at me... sitting on Color Dare's Color Board.  These are such pretty colors and are perfect to use for our Warm & Cuddly Recipe above.   

My optional twist is you MUST use ALL three colors on the Board (Desert Rose, Peach and Sage) or a very close match, and neutrals are free.  And don't think about using additional colors because that could mean Double Trouble at Color Dare.

Optional Twist:  If you have followed the rules on the Color Board you have earned another chance in our Random Draw and will qualify to participate in Double Dare's Thing 2 below.   



Thing 2:  Double Dare 
says, "If you have met Thing 1's Special 3-2-1 Warm & Cuddly Recipe and have followed the rules of the Color My Heart Color Dare's #530 "Triple Pay", you are eligible to enter your project HERE for another chance in the Double Trouble Random Drawing."
