but the only requirement is to play along with Thing 1. 
To add fun... choose to participate in either 
Twisted Sister's Thing 3 and/or Double Dare's Thing 2 
 to earn additional chances in our random draw.  

WELCOME to Challenge #139  - Let the Troubles Begin! 
Early Start - Friday, May 26th - Thursday, June 8th
"We Dare You"  


THING 1:  Trouble Maker 
says, "It's Dare Day on June 1st! We all know that it's human nature to challenge others with tasks to test not only our own courage but also the courage of others. So, I'm daring you to come out of your comfort zone, and fearlessly create a masculine project.

"And what better time to make a masculine card than for Father's Day which is Sunday, June 18th (in the USA).  This challenge is the perfect time to recognize fathers and other remarkable men in your life – a family member such as an uncle, a son, a nephew, or even a dear friend. 

Please don't stop here... 
I double-dog dare you to continue to Twisted Sister's optional twist to earn an additional chance in our random draw.  

THING 3:  Twisted Sister
says, "Many crafters have difficulty creating masculine projects but in my experience thinking about their interests and hobbies helps me develop an idea. Maybe the men and boys in your life enjoy sports or vehicles, perhaps even gardening or reading. 

While you are thinking about that... My optional twist is to use a plaid or check. The plaid or checked element can be hand-drawn, stamped, embossed, stenciled or patterned paper. 

Please don't stop here... 
I triple-dog dare you to continue to Double Dare's optional twist to earn an additional chance in our random draw.  

THING 2:  Double Dare 
says, "If you dared to make a masculine project and double-dog dared to include a 'plaid or check' in your project, you are almost ready to enter your project at the Festive Friday Card Making Challenge.  

Finally, my triple-dog dare is to select at least one more element from Festive Friday's 'Inspo List' #135 to enter your finished project into their challenge."  


Festive Friday Information:  Your project doesn’t have to be about Father's Day – at all!  The selected festivity is just a unique way to come up with a fun and interesting inspiration list!  Additionally, to be considered for the Festive Friday Faves, you cannot enter into more than five other challenges (including theirs). 


Here are our Things... 

Masculine, Plaids/Checks, Blue, Sports, Vehicle, Die Cuts  


along with inspiration from the Sneetches:

Masculine, Plaid/Checks, Blue, Monochromatic, Brads, Die Cuts

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

WELCOME to Challenge #138  - Let the Troubles Begin! 
This Challenge runs from 
Monday, May 15th thru Sunday, May 28th 
"Krafty Crafting"  


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 those bags for some Kraft crafting. 

In other words, in your project we want you to include some Kraft paper, something similar to Kraft and/or even a paper bag  for your 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, "Did Trouble Maker just call me a rat? I admit to being a Pack Rat - but not a rodent! Some people enjoy having rodent-type pets but no matter what your favorite animal is, my optional twist is to include any type of animal in your project, even a rodent if you wish."

Optional Twist:  If you have included an animal 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 project using a brown bag or Kraft-type product, and have included an animal in your project, you are eligible to enter your project HERE  for  The Crafter's Cafe." 

Special Notes:   The Crafter's Cafe is a monthly event and Double Trouble will be partnering with them from May 15th through May 28th.
