"Pinch Proof"  


Thing 1:  Trouble Maker 
says, "Einstein still insists he developed a color theory and was inspired by all the green in Inspiration Station's photo so wants to celebrate St Patrick's Day.  

"Did you know, as the tradition goes, wearing green on Saint Patrick's Day is supposed to make you invisible to leprechauns? They will pinch you as soon as you come upon their radar if you don't wear green! 

"Ouch! Make yourself Pinch Proof and make sure you use green in your project. Your project does not have to be for St. Patrick's Day... you may celebrate any occasion but you must use green as your primary color."  

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


Thing 3:  Twisted Sister 
says, "I'm a wee bit Irish so it's time to bring out one of my green tartan plaid kilts to celebrate. Why Green Plaid? Because I don't want to be pinched either!  

"My optional twist is to include plaid in your project. It can be a traditional tartan, a plaid, an Argyll design, or even a check like gingham, Hound's Tooth, or Glen Plaid. Check your stash for patterned papers, stamps, embossing folders, and stencils, or give us a free-hand design. Just tell us briefly in your description so we know the method you chose for creating the plaid or checked design."  

Optional Twist:  Include any check or plaid in your project and earn another chance in the random draw. 



Thing 2:  Double Dare 
says, "If you have met Thing 1's requirement, "Use the color Green", and whether you have included a plaid or not, you are still eligible to enter your project HERE at Inspiration Station

Inspiration Station's photo is to inspire you. Your interpretation of the Inspirational Photo is your own but Double Trouble has started you off with the color green. So let your creativity flow!

This is optional but if you enter the challenge at Inspiration Station you receive another chance in the Double Trouble random draw.
