"3-2-1 Recipe - "Mix It Up" 


Thing 1:  Trouble Maker
says, "Do you remember way back years ago when we didn't mix plaids, flowers, stripes, checks, and polka dots? Not true today so...Let's Mix It Up! Look through your stash to find at least two different patterns or designs to combine... it's your choice. 

"Let's celebrate and stir up some trouble in Double Trouble's Kitchen. Mix it up and create a project using all the ingredients from our 3-2-1 Recipe below." 

3-2-1 Recipe "Mix It Up" 
Servings - Unlimited Portions of Fun
Specific information available by clicking on each ingredient. 
     3  Layers - Card Base Does Not Count
     2  Patterned Papers 
     1  Sentiment  

Directions: You MUST include at least the required minimum of each ingredient for successful results and a chance in our random drawing... but you can enhance your project and use more than the ingredients stipulated.  

You can stop here... 
OR  
play along with Thing 3's optional twist and/or consider Thing 2's optional dare and earn additional chances in our random drawing. 


THING 3:  Twisted Sister 
says, "I'm spending August in Arizona with my sister. If you have ever spent time in Arizona in August, you know it is the hottest month of the year. You definitely need some cooling element, and why not a fan?  Let's be cool and take this fan-tastic opportunity to cool off, and my optional twist is to create a fan-fold card."  

Here are tutorials in two different sizes for creating Fan Fold cards: 
                                                      
If you have included my optional twist in your project, you will earn another chance in our Random Draw.  


THING 2:  Double Dare
says, "Click on my clipart to the left to see the sneak peek of our sketch from our sister challenge, Try a Sketch On Tuesday #677.  My optional dare is to combine this sketch with our Double Trouble 3-2-1 recipe, 'Mix It Up'.  If you do, you will be awarded TWO additional chances in our random drawing.  

"Please note TSOT starts Tuesday, August 19th, so this sneak peek gives you the day before to create; but remember... to prevent backlinking, your project should not be posted, published, or entered before Aug 19th, in Try a Sketch On Tuesday."  

Alternate Challenge: We also have an Alternate Challenge.  If you have created the Fun Fold using our DTC 3-2-1 Recipe "Mix It Up" and TSOT sketch #677, you can enter your Fun Fold at Creative Creases #106 "Anything Goes Fun Fold".  

Special Notes: If you use the TSOT sketch and/or the alternate, Creative Creases #106, please include the Challenge name(s) next to the DTC link in your post so you are eligible for the additional chances in our random drawing.

WELCOME to Challenge #156  - Let the Troubles Begin! 
This Challenge runs from 
Monday, January 1st  thru Sunday, January 14th 
"BACKGROUND PERSONALITY


Thing 1: Trouble Maker
says, "We're right on time to observe World Introvert Day in January. Even though this is a day to promote awareness about being an introvert we want extroverts to be included too. As an Introvert you will find me in the BACKGROUND at a party, wishing it would soon end.

Whether you're an Introvert or Extrovert we can all have fun with a BACKGROUND. As an Introvert I gravitate toward 'Calm, Soft, Pastel', while my Twisted Sister, an Extrovert, gravitates to 'Loud, Bold, Bright'. Our requirement is to create a project to show us your personality through one of these two background choices.

And to be fair here, whether you are an Introvert or an Extrovert, we are giving away two randomly drawn prizes, one in each category."  

Thing 3: Twisted Sister
says, "Hey! Have I got a twist for you! I think it would be fun to use this sketch from our sister challenge at Try a Sketch On Tuesday Challenge #638. 

This sketch is perfect for either background. 
My optional twist is to use Sketch #638 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. Be sure to include a sentiment, and you may vary the shapes as long as the basic sketch is recognizable in your project." 


Thing 2: Double Dare
says, "If you have met Thing 1's requirement, either a Soft & Pastel or Bold and Bright BACKGROUND, and have used the TSOT sketch, you are eligible to enter your project HERE at Try a Sketch On Tuesday Challenge #638  for another chance in our random drawing.

"Christmas in July"  


THING 1:  
Trouble Maker 
says, "Christmas in July is a fun, and perhaps silly, commemoration of the traditional winter holiday but in the typically warm and sunny month of July. There is no one way to celebrate Christmas in July, but there are a few steps to follow if you intend on having a holly jolly time the paper crafter's way.

"Why not invite your family and friends into your home for a Christmas Paper Crafting Party? First, seek out a not-too-ugly Christmas sweater or comfy jammies, a Santa hat, and a favorite Christmas drink (hot or cold). Next, head to the craft room, pull out your Christmas Stash, and turn on your radio, or, click HERE and listen to Christmas carols while creating a Christmas project (cards, tags, ornaments, scrapbook memories, bookmarks, boxes, etc.)."

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, "Let's not forget we also celebrate Independence Day in the USA on the Fourth of July. My optional twist is to include stars and/or stripes in traditional or non-traditional Christmas colors. Obviously, cards need not be red, white, and blue. We are eager to see how you bring stars and/or stripes into your project. Check out our Design Team projects below to see how we have implemented this twist."

Optional Twist:  If you have included stars and/or stripes in your project you will earn another chance in our Random Drawing.  




THING 2:  Double Dare 
says, "If you have created a Christmas card, and included stars and/or stripes, you are eligible to enter your project HERE  for Jingle Belle's Challenge 'Stars & Stripes Forever' and you will earn another chance in our Random Drawing.
