can be viewed by clicking HERE

There are several parts to this challenge, 
but the only requirement is to play along with Thing 1. 
We encourage you to add some fun... try our options by participating in 
Twisted Sister's Thing 3 and/or Double Dare's Thing 2 
 to earn additional chances in our random draw.

WELCOME to Challenge #141  - Let the Troubles Begin! 
This Challenge runs from 
Friday, June 23rd  thru Thursday, June 29th 
"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) for our SIX-DAY special of SomeThing, AnyThing, EveryThing (aka Anything Goes)." 

You can stop here...
OR, you can choose to include Twisted Sister's Optional Twist below to earn additional chances at our random draw. 




THING 3:  Twisted Sister 
says, "For those of us in the northern hemisphere, the Summer Solstice, often called the Longest Day, will occur on June 21st. Of course, this refers to the day with the most hours of sunlight. Can you guess how long the longest day really is? Well, it varies depending on where you live. At the North Pole, you will have 24 hours of sunlight and if you’re close to the equator, you’ll have about 13 hours.

"We hope you’ll enjoy the Summer Solstice by spending time outdoors but be sure to put aside some time to create. To commemorate the Longest Day my twist is to create a Slimline card or a Mini-Slimline."

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 in our random draw. Please identify each of the links in your blog along with our Double Trouble link. 










 

For inspiration... here are our Things: 

Partnered with:  Beautiful Blossoms, Use Your Stuff 



along with inspiration from the Sneetches:

Partnered with:  Beautiful Blossoms

Partnered with: Creative Creases 

Partnered with:  Color Dare #554 & TSOT #611

or any photo from our current challenge for your blog posting.

Top 3 and Random Draw Winners for 
Challenge #139 and previous challenges
can be viewed by clicking HERE

There are several parts to this challenge, 
but the only requirement is to play along with Thing 1. 
We encourage you to add some fun... try our options by participating in 
Twisted Sister's Thing 3 and/or Double Dare's Thing 2 
 to earn additional chances in our random draw.

WELCOME to Challenge #140  - Let the Troubles Begin! 
This Challenge runs from 
Friday, June 9th thru Thursday, June22nd 
"On a Warm Summer's Day" 


Thing 1:  Trouble Maker 
says, "Technically summer begins on June 21 in the Northern Hemisphere, but any sunny day is a good time to get started on these warm weather must-dos. Grab your beach towel, set up the grill or fire pit, and get ready to spend some quality time with your friends and family. This is the summer you were daydreaming about during the cold winter months so let's squeeze in "s'more" extra time together and create a summer project. 

"Take a look at the fun photo provided by our partner. This photo includes enough summer colors from which to select three colors of your choice and perhaps provides ideas for your summer theme."

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, "I believe there is something missing from that summer photo. Just think - where would you be without your flip-flops? Did you know that June 9th is National Flip-Flop Day?  It's time to bare our toes to the sun. Ditch those clammy, hard leather shoes, and even your comfortable sneakers, and slip into your flip-flops. Going almost shoeless is as much a summer tradition as baseball, hot dogs, and the beach. My optional twist is to include a flip-flop(s) in your project."

Optional Twist:  If you have included a flip-flop(s) 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 to create a summer project, with or without the flip-flop(s), you are eligible to enter your project HERE  at Color My Heart Color Dare Challenge #552.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS: Remember you are welcome to use any products as long as you use only colors in the inspiration photo. Select at least three colors from the photo, AND, to make it even better, you are free to use Black, White, neutrals, and metallics. Be sure to mention in your post at least three colors that you selected.

Challenge #139 "We Dare You" Masculine Project partnering with Festive Friday

Click HERE for complete guidelines and please take the time to read so you don't get into trouble! Consider becoming a follower and using our participant badge 
or any photo from our current challenge for your blog posting.

Top 3 and Random Draw Winners 
for Challenge #138 and previous challenges 
can be viewed by clicking HERE 

There are several parts to this challenge, 
but the only requirement is to play along with Thing 1. 
To add fun... choose to participate in either 
Twisted Sister's Thing 3 and/or Double Dare's Thing 2 
 to earn additional chances in our random draw.  

WELCOME to Challenge #139  - Let the Troubles Begin! 
Early Start - Friday, May 26th - Thursday, June 8th
"We Dare You"  


THING 1:  Trouble Maker 
says, "It's 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 which is Sunday, June 18th (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. 

Please don't stop here... 
I double-dog dare you to continue to Twisted Sister's optional twist to earn an additional chance in our random draw.  

THING 3:  Twisted Sister
says, "Many crafters have difficulty creating masculine projects but in my experience thinking about their interests and hobbies helps me develop an idea. Maybe the men and boys in your life enjoy sports or vehicles, perhaps even gardening or reading. 

While you are thinking about that... My optional twist is to use a plaid or check. The plaid or checked element can be hand-drawn, stamped, embossed, stenciled or patterned paper. 

Please don't stop here... 
I triple-dog dare you to continue to Double Dare's optional twist to earn an additional chance in our random draw.  

THING 2:  Double Dare 
says, "If you dared to make a masculine project and double-dog dared to include a 'plaid or check' in your project, you are almost ready to enter your project at the Festive Friday Card Making Challenge.  

Finally, my triple-dog dare is to select at least one more element from Festive Friday's 'Inspo List' #135 to enter your finished project into their challenge."  


Festive Friday Information:  Your project doesn’t have to be about Father's Day – at all!  The selected festivity is just a unique way to come up with a fun and interesting inspiration list!  Additionally, to be considered for the Festive Friday Faves, you cannot enter into more than five other challenges (including theirs). 


Here are our Things... 

Masculine, Plaids/Checks, Blue, Sports, Vehicle, Die Cuts  


along with inspiration from the Sneetches:

Masculine, Plaid/Checks, Blue, Monochromatic, Brads, Die Cuts 

Masculine, Plaid/Checks, Blue, Die Cuts

"Krafty Crafting"  


Thing 1:  Trouble Maker 
says, " Hey, did you know Pack Rat Day is this month? C'mon, admit it... you're a Pack Rat and, like the rest of us scrappers, you're in good company. You know those crumpled brown paper grocery bags or the kind for packed lunches that you have probably accumulated? Before you throw them away, let's make use of those bags for some Kraft crafting. 

In other words, in your project we want you to include some Kraft paper, something similar to Kraft and/or even a paper bag  for your card, treat bag, scrapbook page, etc."    

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, "Did Trouble Maker just call me a rat? I admit to being a Pack Rat - but not a rodent! Some people enjoy having rodent-type pets but no matter what your favorite animal is, my optional twist is to include any type of animal in your project, even a rodent if you wish."

Optional Twist:  If you have included an animal 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 to create a project using a brown bag or Kraft-type product, and have included an animal in your project, you are eligible to enter your project HERE  for  The Crafter's Cafe." 

Special Notes:   The Crafter's Cafe is a monthly event and Double Trouble will be partnering with them from May 15th through May 28th.
