No Guts No Glowy Layout

I was thrilled to be asked to be a Crazy Cousin guest designer for Double Trouble Challenges this month, so here's the the layout I created for their first challenge, using pumpkins and a leafy garland with these photos of my kids getting messy for carving pumpkins.

And here is their fun challenge. Click on the link above to play along!


Thing 1: Trouble Maker
says, "Looking out my window there were leaves, nuts and pinecones that had fallen to the ground in my garden of gourds. It didn't take long to gather up these items of color to make a beautiful fresh fall garland for my banister.

Use my fall garland as inspiration for colors and/or fall items. Use Your Stuff... go through your stash for papers, stamps, stencils, inks, embellishments, etc. to create a Fall project.

You can stop here...
OR
play along with Twisted Sister's optional twist below to earn another chance at our random draw.

Thing 3: Twisted Sister
says, "Fall leaves were lots of fun when I was a kid, but now they mean work! I'd much prefer to be playing with pumpkins at my pumpkin carving party! Let's make pumpkins with paper using a die, punch, cutting machine, or scissors. "Carve your pumpkin" and include it in your project.

This is an Optional Twist and if you have included your paper pumpkin in your project you have earned a special treat, an extra chance at a random draw.

Thing 2: Double Dare
says, "If you have met Thing 1's requirement to create a fall project you are eligible to enter your project HERE at Use Your Stuff #432 and receive an extra chance at Double Trouble's Random Draw.
