Double Trouble Crazy Cousin + Brianna's 3rd Grade Portrait Layout

My final challenge as Double Trouble's Crazy Cousin guest designer is "Anything Goes," with an optional twist of using something new I found under the Christmas tree, so I decided to scrapbook my daughter's third grade school portrait using my new papers and embellishments from the Echo Park Teen Spirit collection.

WELCOME to Challenge #46 - Let the Troubles Begin! 

"SomeThing, AnyThing, EveryThing"

  

THING 1: Trouble Maker
says, "It's time again to grab your bone folder and stuff, and create something new. We think this is easier than folding a fitted sheet! It's time to use 'stuff' you have in your stash (new and/or old)."

You can stop here...

OR, you can choose to include Twisted Sister's Optional Twist below to earn additional chances at our random draw.

THING 3: Twisted Sister

says, "Out with the old, In with the NEW:  Use that new crafting item you found under the tree or in your stocking or create a project about something new - New Year, new baby, etc.  

This is an OPTIONAL TWIST but you will be awarded an additional chance in Double Trouble's random draw if you include either of these twists in your project.

THING 2: Double Trouble 

dares you to multiply the fun and link up your project with any of our previous partner(s) listed below for extra chances to our Random Draw. Make sure you read their guidelines carefully and observe their dates. We don't want you to get into Trouble with them. 

This means: each time you link to a previous partner with the same card, you gain an additional chance for each partner challenge you entered. Please make sure you identify them in your blog along with our Double Trouble link.

And Crazy Cousin (that's me) says: "Here's a link to the list!"

May the Fourth Be With You Layout

The highlight of the July 4th parade in 2014 was definitely the Star Wars characters. My kids were fascinated by them, and even we adults enjoyed them! I used the Star Jedi font in Cricut Design Space to create a title that resembled the logos I had seen for Star Wars Day.

Here are a few more photos from the parade:
