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. 

You are permitted to backlink for that Monday only... so be sure to visit again on Tuesday so you can post your card to the Tuesday Morning Sketches Challenge using the link provided above.

Monday, April 29th thru Sunday, May 5th
"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!

says, "Holy Guacamole! It will soon be Cinco de Mayo.  Let's Party!  My optional twist is to use at least three colors from this Notebook Inspiration Board to the left for a chance at our regular random drawing.  It doesn't have to be a Cinco de Mayo project, but just SomeThing, AnyThing, EveryThing.  

You can stop here 
OR 
add fun to our Cinco de Mayo party.  In addition to the three colors, if you include any one of the images on the notebook we are offering an additional random draw prize for those entrants only. 


THING 2:  Double Dare

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

WELCOME to Challenge #164 - Let the Troubles Begin! 
This Challenge runs from 
Monday, April 15th - thru Sunday, April 28th  
"CAS ~ Less but Better"  


THING  1:  Trouble Maker 
says, "Oh my gosh, my income tax filing was submitted today and fortunately, mine was clean and simple. Let's take that idea and create a Clean and Simple (CAS) project. To assist you with the CAS requirement, here is what we're looking for.  
1. Leave plenty of open uncluttered white or "blank" space. 
2. Layers and embellishments are optional but should be minimal.
3. Make it clean, make it simple, make it fun! 

If you need help with your CAS project click  HERE to view a tutorial of five techniques. But if you feel confident about creating CAS, then go for it!" 

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, "I wish my tax filing were clean and simple! It seems as if there is always something else I need to think about and right now I'm thinking color. My optional twist is to fill that white cardstock with any color you choose. That's right - ANY color! Just remember to leave plenty of open uncluttered space.  We look forward to seeing your ideas to use color for the blank space instead of white, keeping it CAS. So use your imagination, and play along."

If you have replaced the white/blank space with color, your project will earn you another chance in our random drawing.  


THING  2:  Double Dare 
says, "If you have met Thing 1's requirement to create a CAS project you are eligible to enter your project 
HERE for The Crafter's Cafe Challenge #307 "CAS" and you will qualify for an additional chance in our random drawing.  

Special Notes:  April 15th is the start of The Crafter's Cafe Challenge and their challenge runs through May 12th. Double Trouble's partnership for this challenge will end on April 28th.
