You're The Best!

  Here is my second guest designer entry for Double Trouble.  Using all of the challenges listed below, I created this fun card.  I used my Cricut to cut the banners, fussy cut the Bugaboo image, and to write the sentiment.  I turned the sketch onto it's side and stretched it out.

Here is my card:



Here is the post for Double Trouble:

WELCOME to Challenge #101 - Let the Troubles Begin! 
This Challenge runs from Monday, January 17th - Sunday, January 30th 
"Mix 'Em Up w/Three Patterned Papers"  



Thing 1: Trouble Maker
says, "It's Winter and I'm just chillin' so I don't want to make things complicated. That's why I'm asking you to use three patterned papers - just "Mix 'Em Up"!  It's that simple... That's all you need. 

IF you want to be a little ambitious and boost your creativity our partner has this sketch that is perfect for using patterned papers. You may also feel free to change orientation of the sketch... rotate the sketch or use its mirror image." IF you use this sketch you will receive another chance at our random draw. 

In Summary:
1. Thing 1 Requirement: MUST Use three patterned papers in your project.
2. Optional: It's your choice to use the sketch above.  

Thing 3: Twisted Sister
says, "January 20th is World Penguin Awareness Day! I'm also chillin', but not with Trouble Maker. I'm chillin' with the penguins. So for my optional twist, let's waddle with a clumsy swaying motion and include a penguin in our projects."  







Thing 2
: Double Trouble
says, "If you have included three patterned papers and used Try Stampin' on Tuesday's sketch,  you may enter HERE.  And if you have used Twisted Sister's optional twist "include a penguin" you have also met their optional theme "Winter Wonder".  

Please note that Try Stampin' on Tuesday starts on Tuesday, November 16th. If you post your project at Double Trouble on Monday, the 15th, you are still eligible to enter your project at TSOT. We are permitted to backlink for that Monday only... so be sure to visit again on Tuesday so you can post your card to the TSOT Challenge using the link provided above.

Loving the mix of your patterned papers and love the plaid in the background. Great interpretation of the sketch and turning the sketch to landscape using a mini slimline. Your penguin is adorable. Thanks for being our Crazy Cousin this month.

What a creative take on the TSOT sketch--I love it! It is especially amazing as it made me think of lines in cartoons to indicate speed that are left when a character starts moving and the fact that they are made out of snowflake paper is really great. Thank you for sharing your wonderful card with us at Try Stampin' On Tuesday and we hope you join us again!
