WELCOME to Challenge #166 - Let the Troubles Begin! 

This Challenge runs from 

Monday, May 6th thru Sunday, May 19th 

"Stash and Trash"  

THING  1:  Trouble Maker 

says, "I was just looking at the May calendar and came across Lost Sock Memorial Day.  It's a day to recognize any unmatched socks that are never thrown away.  As I read how to observe this special day it was suggested that we should conduct a brief search and then get on with our lives.

With my unmatched socks in hand, I headed into my favorite crafting space and conducted a brief search. During my search, I pulled out some items to include in my project and at that time made the decision to get on with my life. Now it's your turn to get on with your life. Go through your stash for unused or unmatched materials to include in your project. In your personal post, you must mention the item(s) you used.

Oh, by the way, save those crafting scraps because you may need them for future challenges - but you can toss those unmatched socks in the trash or save them for Odd Socks Day in November.                 

You can stop here... 

OR  

play along with Twisted Sister's optional twist below to earn another chance in our random drawing.  

THING  3:  Twisted Sister 

says, "Hey! Have I got a twist for you! I think it would be fun to use this sketch from Tuesday Morning Sketches and use those unused items or unmatched papers from your stash.  My optional twist is to use Sketch #756 for an additional chance in our random drawing. 

"Feel free to change the orientation of the sketch... rotate the sketch or use its mirror image. You may vary the shapes and add a sentiment as long as the basic sketch is recognizable in your project."  

Optional Twist:  If you have used this sketch you will earn another chance in our random drawing. 

THING  2:  Double Dare 

says, "If you have met Thing 1's requirement to create a project to include unused items or unmatched papers from your stash and have used Tuesday Morning Sketch #756 you are eligible to enter your project HERE and you will qualify for an additional chance in our random drawing.                            

Special Notes: Please note that the Tuesday Morning Sketch Challenge #756 starts on Tuesday, May 7th. If you post your project at Double Trouble on Monday, the 6th, you are still eligible to enter your project at Tuesday Morning Sketches.
