WELCOME to Challenge #160  - Let the Troubles Begin! 
This Challenge runs from

"HOODIE-HOO! Celebration" 


Thing 1: Trouble Maker
says, "In the Northern Hemisphere Hoodie-Hoo Day opens on February 20th, and it's time once again to celebrate with Creative Creases on their Third Anniversary (February 2024) 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.  

"We have again provided below several suggested links to tutorials for easy Fun Folds... or if you are experienced with Fun Folds choose one of your own favorites. (Don't forget to give credit if you use someone's tutorial.)"  

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

Thing 3:  Twisted Sister
says, "WOW... Leap Day is the 29th of this month and we have never had an opportunity to use this day until this year and we won't have this opportunity to observe for another four years.  So let's take a leap into my optional twist and celebrate Hoppy Leap Day by featuring creatures that hop, skip, or leap.  

"You may find some of these in your own garden... examples are wallabies/kangaroos, rabbits/hares, grasshoppers, jumping spiders, frogs/toads, crickets, and fleas. (I absolutely refuse to create a project with fleas, but you can.)  OR, maybe you see a person - even a child - in your garden enjoying hop, skip, or leap games." 



Thing 2Double Dare
says, "How fun it would be to send a Leap Day greeting card to a friend for that one extra day in the year? And make it very special by creating a fun-fold card that is linked to our partner, Creative Creases. Creative Creases Challenges are repetitive two-week challenges exclusively for Fun Folds. If you have created a Fun Fold, with or without a Leap Day optional twist, you may enter your project HERE at Creative Creases Challenge #76 for an additional chance in Double Trouble's random draw.
