This is also the day to celebrate with Creative Creases on their Second Anniversary (February 2023) for their Anything Goes Fun Fold Challenges.  But first... don't forget to step outside, wave your hands over your head, and chant, 'Hoodie-Hoo!' to start the celebration, then come back in and create a Fun Fold card.

"Whether you are ready to go into spring or any other season... flower(s) will always brighten and warm your day. My optional twist is to include flower(s) in your project. These flowers can be for any season you choose.

"Check your stash for flower(s) on patterned papers, stamps, embossing folders, dies, stickers, stencils, etc."  
 
If you have included flower(s) in your project you will earn another chance in our Random Draw.

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 optional twists by participating in 
Twisted Sister's Thing 3 and/or Double Dare's Thing 2 
 to earn additional chances in our random draw.  

WELCOME to Challenge #131- Let the Troubles Begin! 
This Challenge runs from Monday, Feb 6th thru Sunday, Feb 19th
"Love Is in the Air" 


Thing 1:  Trouble Maker
says, "I recently heard an old song, Love Is in the Air, and it reminded me that February is considered the month for love, and Valentine's Day is approachingWhat fun to create a project expressing love. Valentine's Day is one of the most popular holidays for expressing this to someone special. 

In addition to Valentine's Day, we'd like to see other ideas for Love Is in the Air - maybe birds, sunshine, butterflies, dragonflies, bees, clouds, balloons, or even a parachute!  Perhaps the song will provide inspiration for your project."

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




Thing 3:  Twisted Sister 
says, "My optional twist is to simply use the TSOT Sketch along with Trouble Maker's theme, 'Love Is in the Air'.  It's fun and easy. Use Design Team's cards for ideas or your own interpretation to create your project from the sketch." 

Feel free to change the orientation of the sketch... rotate the sketch or use its mirror image. You may not only modify the retangular shapes with other shapes (ovals, squares, etc.) but also substitute the existing heart with another shape, image or embellishment as long as the basic sketch is visible in your project. 

Optional Twist: If you opted to use this sketch you have earned another chance in our Random Draw.  

Thing 2: Double Trouble
says, "If you have met Thing 1's requirement "Love Is in the Air" and have followed the guidelines for the Try Stampin' on Tuesday Sketch #593 then you are eligible to enter your project HERE for another chance in the Double Trouble Random Drawing."  AND, It's TSOT's 12th anniversary and in celebration they are giving away two small gifts by random draw to their followers.  

Special Notes:  Please note that Try Stampin' on Tuesday starts on Tuesday, Feb 7th.  If you post your project at Double Trouble on Monday, the 6th, you are still eligible to enter your project at TSOT. You 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.
