"We Dare You"

THING 1: Trouble Maker

says, "It was Dare Day on June 1st! We all know that it's human nature to challenge others with tasks to test not only our own courage but also the courage of others. So, I'm daring you to come out of your comfort zone, and fearlessly create a masculine project.

"And what better time to make a masculine card than for Father's Day, Sunday, June 16th (in the USA). This challenge is the perfect time to recognize fathers and other remarkable men in your life – a family member such as an uncle, a son, a nephew, or even a dear friend.

You can stop here...
OR I double-dog dare you to
play along with Twisted Sister's optional twist below to earn an additional chance in our random drawing.

THING 3: Twisted Sister

says, "Flip a Coin Day was also June 1st. Just for fun, let's play along to determine your color theme using Colorful Options Challenge's color of the month or rainbow colors. It's simple... just find a coin and flip it by tossing it in the air.

"My optional twist is... If the coin lands "heads up" you need to use primarily Aqua, but if it lands "tails up" you need to use a rainbow of colors. If you didn't get the color theme you wanted, flip again, remember, it's a 50/50 chance.

You can stop here...

OR I triple-dog dare you to play along with Double Dare and earn another chance in our random drawing.

THING 2: Double Dare
says, "If you have met Thing 1's requirement to create a masculine card, have used either shades of Aqua from the Colorful Options Inspiration Board below, or rainbow colors, you are eligible to enter your project HERE and you will qualify for an additional chance in DTC random drawing.

Colorful Options Guidelines: All projects must be inspired by the monthly color OR a rainbow of colors. If you choose a rainbow of colors, you are not limited to the traditional ROYGBIV rainbow. You can use a pastel or neon palette for your rainbow or even a neutral palette. You choose your rainbow palette.

"Kaleidoscope of Colors"

Your Theme, and Choose Thing 1, 2 or 3 for your Palette of Color(s)
Since our Challenge is for the full month of December you can have up to eight entries.

Thing 1: Trouble Maker

says, "If you are seeking open challenges in December this is the challenge for you. Here is your opportunity to finish cards for the winter holidays, or perhaps for any other occasions you choose. You are free to pick any theme and your favorite color palette.

"In addition to my randomly drawn prize, Twisted Sister and Double Dare will each have their own random draw so you may wish to consider their favorite color palettes provided by our partner, Colorful Options. (My regular random draw will include all entries including these special color palettes.) We can't wait to see what you create."

Thing 3: Twisted Sister

says, "Oh my, I just came back from checking out the Colorful Options Challenge inspiration photo which elicits images of snow, weddings, anniversaries, and other special occasions. Wow! 'White' is their color of the month. There is nothing as chic as an all-white design.

"Use your imagination and rely on textures and layering from things in your stash such as embossing folders, stitching, frame and image dies, doilies, other white embellishments, etc. As an exception, you may use black or a choice of one other color for the sentiment and/or for a minimal splash of color. Just keep your project predominantly white.”

Thing 2: Double Dare

says, "After reviewing the inspiration photo, I fell in love with the Colorful Options Challenge 'Rainbow of Color' choice. It may not be as chic as Twisted Sister thinks of her white project but a 'Rainbow of Color' is very creative with so many happy colors.

"For 'Rainbow of Color' you are free to use the Traditional RYOGBV. However, you are not limited to a traditional palette. Feel free to use a pastel palette OR a neon palette of rainbow colors."

We are partnering with the Colorful Options Challenge. For additional details on their color options read their guidelines on the sidebar of their blog challenge. If you have created a project using 'Winter White' and/or 'Rainbow of Colors' enter your project HERE at the Colorful Options December Challenge for another chance in our regular or special random draw prizes.

"Somewhere Over the Rainbow"

Thing 1: Trouble Maker says, "Oh, no! I missed International Rainbow Day in April. How did I overlook this? My favorite song is "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" and I'm losing sleep because of Stuck Song Syndrome. I need an 'eraser tune' to help me get rid of Stuck Song Syndrome, but not until we have created a project using rainbow colors.

"If you choose not to include a rainbow or rainbow colors our partner has given us the flexibility to create a project using any shade of pink as your predominant color. What a great choice!"

FUN TRIVIA: STUCK SONG SYNDROME: Have you ever heard of Earworms? This is the scientific term for Stuck Song Syndrome. Click HERE to learn more.

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

Thing 3: Twisted Sister
says, "What's a rainbow without fantasy? Include something make-believe like a pot of gold, unicorns, fairies, mermaids, gnomes, wizards, dragons, etc. We'll let you decide."

Optional Twist: If you have included a touch of fantasy in your project you will earn another chance in our Random Draw.

Thing 2: Double Dare
says, "If you have met Thing 1's requirement using a rainbow of colors or the color pink as predominant, you are eligible to enter your project HERE at Colorful Options "Pink and/or Rainbow".

We are joining our partner for the first two weeks of May, however, be aware that the Colorful Options Challenge is a monthly challenge."

SNEAK PEEK: Watch for a Special 2022 Spring/Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop starting this Friday, May 6th - May 13th... Hop Week filled with Design Team inspiration and many prizes. Please stop by on Friday and click HERE for our Special Event #110.
