says, "Sometimes life seems to be going in a 'Viscious Circle'. How about you? I'm not looking for problems but November 2nd is 'Look-for-Circles-Day' and I'm ready to get a-round to it!  

"Circles can be an amazing shape. There is no beginning and no end. It can encircle and protect things. It can draw you in. My optional twist is to USE AT LEAST ONE CIRCLE in your project.  (Examples: Use a circular frame, sentiment, image, wreath, maybe even fruit or other similar objects to represent a circle.)"  

If you included a circle in your project you will be awarded an additional chance in our 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. Please identify each of them in your blog along with our Double Trouble link."

WELCOME to Challenge #149  - Let the Troubles Begin! 
This Challenge runs from 
Monday, October 2nd  thru Sunday, October 15th
"Scrapper's Trick and Treat"  


THING 1: Trouble Maker
says, "Oooh! Halloween is lurking around the corner. As I enjoy some candy corn I am thinking about the fun of costumes, decorations, and Trick or Treat.

"Let's have some Scrapper's Trick and Treat fun with this challenge. Go to your stash and look for supplies (i.e. stamps, stencils, embossing folders, blending brushes, gel press, foiling, etc.) to CREATE YOUR OWN BACKGROUND or use a background you had already made.  IN YOUR POST TELL US YOUR TECHNIQUE(S) (aka the TRICK).  

Where is the TREAT? Your TREAT is the awesome background you just created or already had in your stash."  

Before you add items to your background, consider Twisted Sister's optional twist and earn another chance in our random drawing. 


THING 3: Twisted Sister
says, "Now that we've taken care of the Trick and Treat it's time to dress up your background. My OPTIONAL TWIST is to ADD HALLOWEEN IMAGES using stamps, digital files, stickers, and/or dies, etc. to create your images.

Whether you prefer using sweet or spooky images, or a few of each… Here's a hint to get this party started and partner with Park Hopping! Many amusement and theme parks have Halloween parties. For example, the Disney Company sponsors a sweet 'Not So Scary' Halloween' event; or maybe Universal Studios “Halloween Horror Night” event is more your style, spooky with plenty of chills.  CHOOSE YOUR HAPPY PLACE.  



THING  2:  Double Dare 
says, "If you have met Thing 1's requirement to create your own background and have dressed up your background with Halloween imagesyou are eligible to ENTER YOUR PROJECT HERE at the 'Park Hopping, My Happy Place Challenge' and you will qualify for an additional chance in our random drawing."

Special Notes:  MAKE SURE IN YOUR POST LET 'PARK HOPPING' KNOW YOUR 'HAPPY PLACE'.
