WELCOME to Challenge #103 - Let the Troubles Begin! 
This Challenge runs from 
Monday, February 7th - thru Sunday, February 20th 
"Sweet Color Challenge"  


Thing 1:  Trouble Maker 
says, "I'm ready to put the chocolates away.  I'm looking for something colorful, sweet and spicy.  As it happens I enjoy celebrating National Gumdrop Day on February 15th, the day after Valentine's.   In celebration, let's choose at least three closely matched colors from the background of my inspiration clipart to the left, i.e., pink, yellow, lavender, white, orange, green." 

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, "Trouble Maker, I agree about chocolates but I'm not fond of gumdrops.  Let's step back one day to Valentine's Day and celebrate with my favorite Sweethearts candy. I love this "chalky-talky" candy and can eat them to my heart's content. So, include at least one heart somewhere in your project." 

Here's a little something that's fun to know. Click HERE to read about Sweethearts Candy Hearts going missing and then finding their way back.
  
Optional Twist:  If you have included a heart(s) on your project you will earn another chance in our Random Draw. 

Thing 2:  Double Trouble 
says, "It's a Toss Up!  If you have met Trouble Maker's Color Challenge and if your inspiration is also related to "I Heart You", you may enter the Inspiration Station Challenge #23.  In your post please make sure you include how their inspiration cue inspired you."

You will earn another chance in the DTC random draw if you participate in the Inspiration Station Challenge.

WELCOME to Challenge #102  - Let the Troubles Begin! 
5th Monday - One Week Challenge  
From Monday, January 31st thru Sunday, February 6th


"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! It's time to use the stuff you have in your stash (new and/or old).

You can stop here... 
OR, you may want to include Twisted Sister's Optional Twist below "Size It Up or Size It Down" to earn additional chances at our random draw.






THING 3:  Twisted Sister
says, "Size it up or size it down! This is the perfect chance to try something besides your standard A2 (4.25" x 5.5") card. Make your card round, make it square, make it slimline, make it shaped, just don't make a standard size A2 card.  Don't keep us guessing... include in your post what size or shape you used.  

"February 4th is 'Thank Your Mailman Day' ... let's not forget to thank your mail carriers... after all, we have left them with sized up, sized down, and shaped cards to deliver. 

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, "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."

This means each time you link to a previous partner with the same card, you gain an additional chance. Please identify each of them in your own blog post along with our Double Trouble link.

WELCOME to Challenge #101 - Let the Troubles Begin! 
This Challenge runs Monday, January 17th - Sunday, January 30th 
"Mix 'Em Up w/Three Patterned Papers"  



Thing 1: Trouble Maker
says, "It's Winter and I'm just chillin' so I don't want to make things complicated. That's why I'm asking you to use three patterned papers - just "Mix 'Em Up"!  It's that simple... that's all you need. 

"IF you want to be a little ambitious and boost your creativity, our partner has this sketch that is perfect for using patterned papers. Feel free to change the orientation of the sketch... rotate the sketch or use its mirror image. IF you use this sketch you will receive a chance at our random draw."

In Summary:
1. Thing 1 Requirement: Three patterned papers MUST be used in your project.
2. Optional: It's your choice to use the TSOT sketch above.  


Thing 3: Twisted Sister
says, "January 20th is World Penguin Awareness Day! I'm also chillin', but not with Trouble Maker. I'm chillin' with the penguins. So for my optional twist, let's waddle with a clumsy swaying motion and include a "penguin  in your project."  











Thing 2
: Double Trouble
says, "If you have included three patterned papers and used Try Stampin' on Tuesday's Sketch for Challenge #539,  you may link your project HERE.  And if you have used Twisted Sister's optional twist to 'include a penguin' you have also met their optional theme, Winter Wonder.

"Please note that Try Stampin' on Tuesday starts on Tuesday, November 16th. If you post your project at Double Trouble on Monday, the 15th, you are still eligible to enter your project at TSOT. We are permitted to backlink for that Monday only... so be sure to visit again on Tuesday so you can post your card to the TSOT Challenge using the link provided above."
