"SomeThing, AnyThing, EveryThing"  


THING 1: Trouble Maker
says, "It's time again to grab your bone folder and other crafty stuff and create something new. We think this is easier than folding a fitted sheet! It's time to use the stuff you have in your stash (new and/or old) for our one-week special of SomeThing, AnyThing, EveryThing (aka Anything Goes)." 

You can stop here...

OR 
You can choose to include Twisted Sister's Optional Twist below to earn additional chances in our random drawing.
THING  3:  Twisted Sister 
says, " It's almost the end of summer, and Labor Day is around the corner.  Labor Day was established so that working people could have a day off to mark the end of summer. My family always celebrated this weekend with one last picnic.  

"Think back in time to your last picnic... was it memorable because of: A) The food and/or beverage; B) The checked tablecloth; or C) The intriguing insect(s) that joined your picnic? 

"My OPTIONAL TWIST is to include A, B, or C or any combination of these elements in your project and you will be awarded an additional chance in Double Trouble's random drawing."

THING 2:  Double Dare 
says, "I dare you to multiply the fun by linking your project with any previous partner(s) listed below. You will qualify for extra chances in our random drawing.

"Make sure you read their guidelines carefully and observe their dates. We don't want you to get into trouble."

This means each time you link to a previous partner with the same card, you gain an additional chance in our drawing. Please identify each of them in your own blog post along with our Double Trouble link.

WELCOME to Challenge 145  - Let the Troubles Begin! 
This Challenge runs from 
Monday, August 14th thru Sunday, August 27th
"Scrapper's GORP" 

There are several parts to this challenge, 
but the only requirement is to play along with Thing 1's Requirement 
For additional fun... choose to use Twisted Sister's and/or Double Dare's optional twists 
and earn additional chances in our random drawing.  


Thing 1:  Trouble Maker 
says, "Wow! It's another year to celebrate National Trail Mix Day. Trail Mix features a high-energy, tasty treat often called GORP ("Good Old Raisins and Peanuts" or a mix of certain cereals, nuts, pretzels, raisins, dried fruits, M&Ms, etc.).  Sounds delicious, but we also have a yummy trail mix for you!  

"Do you remember when we never mixed plaids, stripes, checks, flowers, or polka dots? Well, this is now the Scrapper's recipe for GORP. We think making your own is much more fun. Look through your stash for stamps, stencils, patterned papers, washi tape, etc., to find at least two or more of the ingredients mentioned above and include them in your project... these ingredients are your choice."

You can stop here... 
OR  
Play along with Twisted Sister's optional twist below and earn additional chances in our random drawing. 


Thing 3:  Twisted Sister 
says, "Our friends over at Try Stampin' on Tuesday have provided us with a sketch that is perfect for Trouble Maker's requirement of  'Scrapper's GORP'.  So... my optional twist is to simply use the TSOT Sketch #620 for an additional chance in our random drawing.  AND if you include a sentiment on your project you will earn another chance.  

Feel free to change the orientation of the sketch... rotate the sketch or use its mirror image. You may not only modify the rectangular shapes with other shapes (ovals, squares, etc.) but also substitute the existing circle 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 and have included a sentiment you have earned additional chances in our random drawing.      


Thing 2:  Double Dare 
says, "If you have met Thing 1's requirement 'Scrapper's GORP', and used the TSOT sketch, with or without a sentiment, you are eligible to enter your project HERE at Try Stampin' on Tuesday Sketch Challenge #620 for another chance in our random drawing.  

Special Notes:  Please note that Try Stampin' on Tuesday starts on Tuesday, Aug 15th. If you post your project at Double Trouble on Monday, the 14th, 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, Aug 15th, and post your card to the TSOT Challenge using the link provided above.
