"What's Your Drive-Thru Window?"


THING 1:  Trouble Maker
says, "July 24 is National Drive-Thru Day... a chosen day to pay homage to many Drive-Thru venues. This is the perfect time of year to venture out and pick up something. My favorite is an ice cream shop because a cone or dish of deliciousness appears when I get to the window.

"To play along with our challenge, create a project with a window or aperture cut of any style, shape, or size. There are a variety of window-type cards, easy and/or more complicated, and below we have provided a few tutorials for inspiration... the choice is yours." 

Four Simple Window Cards
Three Peek-a-boo Card Ideas
Let's Make Some Cute Peekaboo Cards
Aperture Cards
EASY Pop-Up Window Card

You can stop here...
OR
play along with Twisted Sister's optional twist below "Christmas in July". 


THING 3:  Twisted Sister
says, "While Trouble Maker was dashing through the Drive-Thru, I saw Frosty on the menu board. We don't want Christmas in July to slip away from us. So... if it's not 'snow' much trouble, my optional twist is to include snow, snowflakes, Frosty, and/or other snowpeople on your project.

Optional Twist: If you have included snow, snowflakes, or snowpeople in your project 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 window/aperture project and have included a snow/snowpeople theme, you are eligible to enter your project HERE at Jingle Belle's 'Dashing through the Snow' Challenge and qualify for an additional chance in our DTC random drawing. 

Here is a photo of the prize at Jingle Belles.

Welcome to Challenge #170
 Let the Troubles Begin! 
This Challenge runs from 
Monday, July 1st thru Thursday, July 18th 
"YOU-nique Technique"  


THING 1: Trouble Maker
says, "It won't be long and the summer heat will begin to take its toll so I have a few suggestions. If you want to 'beat the heat', use a dry embossing technique for our challenge. But if you can't 'beat it', we suggest you 'join it' by switching to a heat embossing technique - or use both for fun. If embossing techniques aren't for you, your last chance to play along is to use a stencil on your project. You must use at least one of the above YOU-nique Techniques on your project... it's your choice."

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, "Looking for ways to beat the heat?  With the summer heat bearing down on us, being around water is the perfect solution for staying cool. I'm off to Disney World to enjoy the water experiences at the Magic Kingdom and drift down the river at the Jungle Cruise. Some elements to consider are the riverboats and wildlife (hippos, lions, zebras, and more). Along the banks of the river are lush foliage, butterflies, and waterfalls. My choice of element is lush foliage." 

My Optional Twist: Consider your experiences at water and/or theme parks. Choose at least one element(s) that made your experience memorable then include that element in your project.  In your post tell us the park and element used in your project.    

If you have shared your 'beat the heat' experience in your project you will earn another chance in our random drawing and be able to play along with Double Dare. 


THING  2:  Double Dare 
says, "If you have met Trouble Maker's technique requirement and Twisted Sister's Optional Twist you are eligible to enter your project HERE at Park Hopping My Happy Place and qualify for an additional chance in our random drawing."  

Special Notes: The Park Hopping monthly inspiration board does not require participants to follow it precisely. Instead, you can use any theme or intellectual property listed under the Inspiration tab for any month of the challenge.
