Dots and Plaids and Checks, Oh My!

Today I’m here with my second card as the August Crazy Cousin for the Double Trouble Challenge!

 

The theme for Challenge #91 is “Scrapper’s Rail Mix”.


Thing 1:  Trouble Maker 

says, “August 31st is National Trail Mix Day. Trail Mix, aka GORP, is a mix of certain cereals, nuts, pretzels, raisins, dried fruits, M&Ms, etc.  Sounds yummy, but we have a yummy mix for Scrappers, too. 

Do you remember years ago when you didn’t mix plaids, stripes, checks, and polka dots? Not true today… so Let’s Mix It Up! Look through your stash for stamps, stencils, patterned papers, etc., in these patterns and designs and use any number or combination of these patterns – or just one… it’s your choice.”  

You can stop here OR  
you can use Twisted Sister’s optional twist for Fall Colors using our partner’s Color Challenge.  

Thing 3:  Twisted Sister 

says, “GORP! Oh, excuse me, I was greedily indulging in my trail mix. As I was selectively picking the M&M’s I thought how nice it would be to see fall colors.  Wouldn’t our partner’s Color Board look yummy in our Trail Mix with your project of patterns and design?  

All you need to do is select at least three or more of the colors (closest match) identified on the Color Board above with your choice of any neutrals. If you want to submit to Double Dare’s Dare below please make sure you use only the colors identified on the board. 

 

Thing 2:  Double Dare 

says, “If you have met Trouble Maker’s Requirement, “Scrapper’s Trail Mix”, and have included your M&M Fall Color Mix from the Color Dare Board above, you may enter your project here at ColorMyHeart Color Dare Challenge #458

Good Luck!!
