Challenge #348 A Double Trouble Team Up

Hey everyone!

We are so happy to team up with Double Trouble Challenges again for another great challenge!  This challenge will run from February 18th until  March 3rd.  So two full weeks for you to get in on the fun!

A bit about our friends at Double Trouble:


Welcome to Double Trouble - We're two retired ladies bringing you a new challenge blog where we hope you find fun and inspiration! We're not affiliated with any companies and welcome all participants. Our challenge will include Thing 1-Trouble Maker the Basic Challenge, Thing 2-Double Dare being a surprise element in which you may or may not decide to participate and Thing 3-Twisted Sister, will appear with an optional twist to the Challenge.

Our theme for you this challenge is Do You Believe in Magic?   

We want you to create a project that has a magical feel to it....a place that is magical to you, a magical item, a magical being?  Whatever says magic to you.....

When you enter our challenge this week, be sure to run over to the Double Trouble Challenge blog and see what their co-coordinating challenges are and link up with them as well!  The more aspects of the challenge you do, the more entries you will receive to win their prize!

Here are some DT projects to get you started!

Gail

Here in the magical land of Harry Potter at Universal Studios, Florida, we went on the ride "Escape from Gringotts".  So much FUN! 

I paired this magical challenge with Double Troubles Tic Tac Toe challenge using the diagonal line going left to right: Silver and Gold (the coins); Image Stamp Digital (the digital images are the ephemera); Ribbon.

Lori

I used a fairy die cut to create my "magical" card this week. I also paired my challenge with Double Trouble's Tic Tac Toe board using the first row down of silver/gold, sentiment, and die/punch:

Karrie

there is something magical about a cat!

Used the 1st column in the tic tac toe - gold, a sentiment, and diecut

Stephanie
Nothing says "magic" to me like Harry Potter!  This is my daughter at a Harry Potter book release party a few years ago.  I used the 1st column in the tic tac toe board to pull this project together.

Renee

For this challenge, I chose to Tic Tac Toe across the middle using a sentiment, image stamp and glitter paper.  I also added magic by coloring an Elf stamp.

02/10/19 - "In The Kitchen" Highlights

Hi all!
Happy Sunday!

I hope you had fun w/ our most recent Challenge, "In the Kitchen".
I'm a huge fan of scrapping food so I certainly did!
I also enjoyed seeing your creations, though I admit I am a bit behind on visiting the blogs as I had a sick pet to tend w/ the last few days (good news, he is MUCH better now).
But I did take a quick look-see and though it was difficult to choose, I did decide on these 3 as my faves:

Even More Scrapping

 

- Great layout design, corner cluster, and food/eating photos!

Wire Wrapture

 

-Super cute, stamping and sequins!

 

 

Barb's Creations 

 

-You had me at Mexican Food and Margaritas, LOL

Also love the title font and use of straws as embellishments!
 

Don't forget to grab your badge:

 

 

 

Thank you to everyone who played along!

Come back tomorrow for another challenge.

 

xo,

Doreen

 

 

 

 

02/04/19 - Challenge #346 In The Kitchen

Hi there...
Doreen here!
::waves::

This is my first time hosting a challenge since becoming a Design Team Member w/ "Use Your Stuff".
I was excited to be chosen to host this particular challenge because it couldn't be any more perfect for me: it's called  - In the Kitchen!
Okay, so TBH I don't cook or bake, but my husband does...he bakes A LOT!
But regardless, this challenge isn't ONLY about being in the kitchen, you can create any type of project that is Food or Drink related!
I am a huge Foodie, check out my Instagram if you want to see ::wink:: Doreen's Insta,
so even if I don't have a photo of my husband's baked goods to scrap, I have plenty of other food-related photos to use instead.

I'm sure you have something to share also...
so please, come play w/ us and let me see those yummy creations!

Here's mine:

Doreen

 though it doesn't show a close-up of the food in the store, it does give you a glimpse, and a list, of all the yummy things you can purchase at this "Disneyland of Gas Stations" we came across on one of our trips to Vegas last year. Plus peep that cool Candy Land like "tower"!

I used a lot of old Doodlebug and Simple Stories on this page!

 And here for your viewing pleasure are the rest of the Design Team projects:

Gail

Here's my card showcasing CHOCOLATES! One of my favourite foods.

Amanda

This layout features one of my all time favourite foods - fish and chips!

Heather R

Was inspired to get a LO done for our first Disney Dole Whip....

Renee

I chose to do a card with the Holiday Anya stamp from the Greeting Farms.  I love her delicious cup of hot cocoa!

Thanks to all who entered this week's Enamel dot challenge.

Here are a few highlights from the participants:

2. Barbara Greenberg: It's Trophy Time
Like how she used some for accents, and coordinated others for her flower centres.


7. Desperate Housewife Craft
Like how she used them to add texture to her stencilled background.


9. Zouave Cards: Little Hearts!
Sweet little heart-fall design on her Valentine's card.


Tune in tomorrow for a brand new Use Your Stuff challenge!

Use Your Stuff # 345 - Enamel dots

HI and welcome to a new week and new challenge here at Use Your Stuff! 

The stuff we want to see this time is  Enamel dots!

I am sure like me you've collected a bunch of these tiny little wonders
over the past few years. 

Have you come up with some creative ways to use them? 

Karrie

I filled in the negative space of a chipboard shape to create a fun frame! 

aaand pretty much decimated my stash LOL.

And the my fabulous teammates have these:

Stephanie

I was inspired by the sunset in the background of my picture & decided to use my black enamel dots to make "sun rays" around the soccer ball patterned paper.

Chris

I love adding enamel dots to add a little pop of color to my layouts or cards.  For this layout I used some summery enamel dots three places and even though they were from a different collection/company, I think they match perfectly.

Amanda

I found a bunch of dots from different collections that matched this layout - they were the perfect compliment to what I had done already!

Tina
I mainly just use them for scattering on my layout for that finishing touch :)

Enter with the linky below showing us what you like to do with enamel dots!
