Double Double Trouble

 This is the second card I've made for the current 

Double Trouble Challenge #187

Something, Anything and Everything

For the recipe part of the challenge I have used one bow, two colors (red and green) and 3 clusters of holly and berries. 

 

Thing #1 has requested everyone to make a Holiday Card.

(I have my Easter cards finished, so decided to make an early Christmas card.)

Thing #2 would like to see us follow the sketch from the Alternative Challenge, 

Try a Sketch on Tuesday Challenge #666. 

And for Thing #3, I will note TSOT next to my entry link and enter their challenge, too.

Piano Card

 This card is for a May birthday.  I know that I am getting ahead of myself a little bit, but I saw a piano card online and knew it would be perfect for a friend of mine.  I had to improvise a little bit to make the tiny butterflies.  Two of my friend's favorites are purple and butterflies.

Think she'll like it?

 

 BTW, I am submitting this to the new challenge at Double Trouble,

Something, Anything and Everything

For the recipe part of the challenge I have used one bow, two colors (purple and green) and 3 tiny butterflies. 

I think of a birthday as a "personal" holiday.

This card has also been submitted to  the

 Festive Friday Challenge #FF0180 Piano Day.

I have used 3 of the inspiration items, black, white, and musical notes.

 

Thanks for stopping by my blog.

Hope you had a crafty day!

More Double Trouble - Pinch Proof

 The new challenge at Double Trouble was, indeed, a challenge for me.

We are snowbirds and I travel with only a small stash of card making supplies.  And because I am always an overachiever and want to make all the Troubles happy, I needed to think out of the box for 

Challenge #186 3-2-1 Recipe "Pinch Proof" 

 

Thing #1's recipe posed my first problem.  I have no stencils here.  Using some dies I made two of my own, one a row of triangles and the other scattered leaves. 

Using the sketch from Try a Sketch on Tuesday Challenge #665, Thing #2's  request, was easy.

 

But Thing #3's idea to use shamrocks was almost a deal, or should I say challenge, breaker!  And then I had an epiphany and was able to comply.  Can you find my 3 shamrocks?

 Thanks so much for stopping by my blog.
