 and Other Blog Candy in Sneetch's Posts

This Challenge runs from

"Warm & Cozy - Layer Up"  


Thing 1: Trouble Maker
says, "Today we're celebrating two special things - our 100th Challenge and Cuddle-Up Day on January 6th! There's been nothing better than cuddling up with your sweet creations for 100 challenges and we hope that you feel the same way."  

"For Cuddle-Up Day, let's think cozy and warm and  Layer Up!  You MUST use at least one die, punch, or machine cut and include at least two or more layers on your project. Bring on your card layering techniques and Layer Up."      

In Summary:  1.  Create at least two or more layers. 
                       2.  Use at least one die. 

You can stop here...
Or
You can go on to Twisted Sister's Optional Twist 


Thing 3: Twisted Sister
says, "My favorite thing to cuddle with is a good book. There are lots of other "THINGS" you can cuddle with such as sweaters, mittens, quilts, easy chairs, books, fur-babies, stuffed animals, firesides, etc. What is your favorite?"  

This is an OPTIONAL TWIST but you will be awarded an additional chance in Double Trouble's random draw if you include this twist in your project.  







Thing 2: Double Dare
says, "Bitten by the Bug 2 is a challenge that usually requires the inclusion of a cut item from a Cricut machine, however, we CUT a Die'al with them. For this challenge only, our partner is accepting the use of cut items from punches, dies, and any cutting machine, but NO fussy-cutting! Enter the Bitten by The Bug 2 Challenge for an extra chance in our usual random draw prize."  











For inspiration... here are our Things:

WELCOME to Challenge #99 - Let the Troubles Begin!

"It's Up To You"  


THING 1:  Trouble Maker 
says, "For those of you who are looking for open challenges in December... this is the challenge for you.  In December there are holidays, special events, and even bizarre and wacky days.  We have decided for this challenge the special event is "IT'S UP TO YOU".  

This is optional... but IF you are looking for inspiration for your project click here for a Days of December Calendar to see holiday inspiration and some bizarre and wacky days that could be used for your project. (Ex: December 13 is Ice Cream Day and could be used for a birthday card, or December 5 is Bathtub Party Day, oh, ummm, wait a minute, that's my birthday!  IF you choose something from this list, let us know what date and special event you used... don't keep us guessing." 

You can stop here 
OR 
You can continue to Twisted Sisters Optional Twist  


THING 3:  Twisted Sister
says, "Tis the Season to be Jolly, 'cause I've been Decking the Halls and making sure I haven't made Santa's naughty list this year. It reminded me that I should have a Twist that would last the entire month of December.  

Use any number(s) related to age, a special day, a year, or maybe include a calendar on your project."

This is an Optional Twist; but if you include this on your project, you have earned another chance at our random draw.   





THING 2:  Double Dare 
says, "We are happy to partner with The Paper Funday Challenge for the full month of December plus two days.  

If you have met Trouble Maker's requirement, with or without Twisted Sister's optional twist, you can enter your project here at The Paper Funday #36 - Anything Goes with an Optional Twist: Holiday Times."

THING 3:  Twisted Sister 
says, "This Twist is on you... choose at least one element from my card below and include it on your project!  You may repeat my colors, my images, my shapes, my layout, or my embellishments. Choose at least one element, i.e. dry embossing, snowflakes, twine, plaid, banner, cookies/sweets, dots, etc.  Don't keep us guessing... tell us what element(s) you selected as YOUR TWIST and include in your post description! 

This is an OPTIONAL TWIST but you will be awarded an additional chance in Double Trouble's random draw.   

Additionally, I have some Blog Candy I want to give away... Leave a comment on my blog HERE and you will be eligible for another random draw prize."  


THING 2:  Double Dare 
says, "I dare you to multiply the fun by linking your project with any previous partner(s) listed below. You will qualify for extra chances in our Random Draw.  Make sure you read their guidelines carefully and observe their dates. We don't want you to get into trouble."
