Double Trouble #18

theprincesschick2 Comments

It’s a Free For All over at the Double Trouble Challenge Blog.  That’s really nothing new, but we celebrate when the calendar has 5 Monday’s in a month.

Trouble Maker is trying to get us to “Shape Up” for the new year and has challenged us to use multiple shapes on our projects – I’ve included a tag  & banner (rectangle) along with a circle.

Did you know that it’s National Bird Week in the USA?  Twisted sister didn’t either, but to give a shout out to her feathered friends she’s asking that you add a bird, a nest, a birdhouse etc to your project.

Finally Double Dare is asking you to pair with one of our previous partners so pick your favorite – go check out their challenge and then combine our challenges for twice as much fun!

I had two choices for birds in my stamping stash – a penguin or a chicken, LOL!  Then when I was going through my die cuts I found a cute birdhouse die that I don’t think I’ve ever used.  My Penguin in Paradise comes from the My Favorite Things Stamp line and I colored with my Copic markers.  That bright blue background is a B&T from the new Something Fierce paper packet from Close to My Heart

I hope you’ll come play with us – Double Trouble is Double the fun!!!

Summertime is my favorite season – it means sunshine, swimming pools, sweet tea and ice-cream and best of all August is my birthday month!!!

Our Double Trouble Challenge 7 is all about the Dog Days of Summer.  Trouble Maker would like to know how you deal with the hottest time of the year.  Twisted Sister (that’s me) wants you to stay cool and include your favorite summer beverage or food.  Double Dare wants you to link up to the Summer Challenge at HeARTful Stamping Challenge.

I had this cute Penguin in Paradise stamp set from My Favorite Thing Stamps that I wanted to use.  I started by random stamping a panel of white cardstock with the drinks, hibiscus and beach balls and then colored them in with Copic Markers.  I stamped and colored the penguin, cut him with a Basics Circle Die Cut from Close to My Heart and then popped it up with a spring so it’s all bouncy!

Now it’s your turn…make sure you visit our challenge blog for the instructions on how to link up with us.

I’m just like you…I love to read your comments and I always love it when you answer my questions.  So, what is your favorite way to stay cool during the Dog Days of Summer?

Thanks so much for stopping by – I hope you’re having a good time with the Double Trouble Challenges.
